Students will listen to a sensory-rich read-aloud with the librarian, identify CVC and sensory words that show feelings, and interview real users to create an empathy map grounded in direct quotes and observations.

Students will synthesize quotes and observations from their librarian and family interviews to define a clear, evidence-based “How Might We” question that focuses on helping readers understand feelings through CVC words.

Students will generate many possible ways to help real readers understand feelings using CVC words, then select and sketch their strongest concepts based on user needs identified in earlier phases.

Students will build and revise a testable version of their CVC feeling-word solution for real users, document feedback, and improve their design before the Word Fair.

Students will test their interactive Word Wonderland mural with authentic visitors and present their full design journey—from user interviews to final CVC word prototypes—at the Word Fair, explaining how sounds and letters help express feelings.
