First Grade Viewmont Teacher Jen Lightfoot, needed a slick way to help kids discover patterns in words while getting extra spelling practice in.

Students love it when teachers give them hands-on learning opportunities to use their So, she approached Murray Education Foundation (MEF) for a grant to purchase alphabet sets for each student in her class. A bonus is that they have been instrumental for one student beginning to learn English, who just moved here from another country.

The sets are easy to store and a perfect solution to a simple problem that optimizes learning with engaging materials. As Jen sums up perfectly, “When learning is fun, we can get the hard work done!”
