Reading With Puppets!

Students will learn how to start reading. Using Phonemic awareness and Systematic Phonics and  Sight Words.  

Beginning of the class
Pancho my puppet friend will introduce the letter of the day and he will be teaching the sound of it.  Using different strategies to make the students lean and at the same time memorize the single sound of the letter.  Pancho usually forgets the letter he taught so he ask the students to remind him what he said.  This is part of assessment to know if the students are ready to move to the next letter recognition and sound.  

Then Mrs. Nancy (me) will show a set of flashcards with pictures that start with the letter introduced by Pancho.  This is to reinforce    phonemic awareness. 

Pancho will read a story with silly sounds and ask his friends (students) to make the sounds with him. 

The class will finish with a letter game. (bingo, hide and seek, scavenger hunt etc)
