Fairlawn kindergarteners celebrated literacy with their annual Heart Word Egg Hunt on the playground. Colorful eggs were hidden across the grass, each labeled with a UFLI heart word for students to read. As children excitedly searched, they practiced decoding and recognizing important high-frequency words. After finding eggs, students proudly read their heart words aloud to a teacher. Each successful reading allowed them to trade in their eggs for a small treat, adding extra motivation and fun. The activity combined movement, teamwork, and learning, creating a memorable experience that strengthened reading skills and built confidence in every young learner for all.
