Class Experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
Beginner Level
I will teach phonemic awareness, phonics, and basic "heart" words (sight words). I will begin with Heggerty Phonemic Awareness activities, followed with Lego word chunks to practice changing beginning letters and reading the rhyming words (-at, sat, bat, cat, rat; -ag, rag, sag, bag, lag; -ad, dad, sad, mad, bad). This will lead into heart word introduction of the words "of, you, to, the, do, said, is". Then we will read a simple story utilizing the heart words and finish with a heart word...
- Students will practice manipulating sounds to create new words, developing phonemic awareness.
- Students will read a variety of rhyming words to recognize the connection between word chunks and how when only the beginning sound changes the words usually rhyme.
- Students will grow in familiarity with common words that don't follow the typical phonics rules. By presenting this in the form of "heart" words, students are able to see visual representations of which sounds follow the rules and which don't.
