Learn Like a Unicorn: Reading Readiness Skills Practice #academic

Please join me for a magical adventure. In this one-time class, students will explore and practice early literacy concepts Unicorn style. This class is engaging and interactive. Students are more than welcome to come dressed up as a Unicorn. Students will practice stretching out CVC word sounds orally, identifying beginning sounds/letters, and sounding out to read and write CVC words. 

Bubblegum Words 
Students will be engaged with a Powerpoint created by the teacher. This powerpoint will present pictures of CVC words. Together, we will stretch the sounds found in the word by pretending to stretch bubblegum. This activity will engage students with visuals and movement. 

Say and Find Beginning Sounds
Students will be presented with pictures related to Unicorns on the screen (rainbow, horn, glitter, etc.) Together, we will identify the beginning sound in each word. Using the handout provided by the teacher that is printed out prior to class, students will find the letter that corresponds with the sound. Students will color the box with the letter. 

Rainbow Writing 
The teacher will introduce 3 CVC words to the students. At first, students will only see the word with no picture. Together, we will make each letter sound to read the word. Students will then write the word on the handout provided by the teacher that should be printed out prior to class. Students will "rainbow write" each word by using several different colors. Students will then draw a picture to match each word on the handout. 

I cannot wait to practice these important early literacy skills that will help build the foundation to your child's success in reading!
