Campamento de verano divertido de fonética para primer grado

Students will be learning the vowel sounds to become fluent readers that are introduce and support through first grade phonics standards. Our vowel sounds will cover diphthong sound combinations, digraphs teams, and r controlled vowels (complete list at the bottom of description). I will make sure to include review of short vowel sounds and bossy- silent E in our camp class structure.

 In each class, we will introduce the vowel sound for the lesson. We will learn a chant for each vowel to help remember the vowels' sound.We will use our new chant as we practice decoding, blending, segmenting, and writing words that contain the vowel sound together as a class and independently.  Practicing in isolation will allow learners to see the vowel pattern and practice producing the proper sounds before applying it in context with a fluency passage.  Passages will build on our phonics skill in context.  Class will be supported through visuals on Google slides and the use of white boards.

I want students to be active participants throughout our class time together. I will work to keep students engaged by having them verbalize while learning. Learners will practice saying and moving during the vowel chants. Use body movements while blending and segmenting words. I will have each learner write on a white board or paper during class and have learners read the fluency sentences or passage to have them engaged as participants. I aim to use the gradual release model during instruction.  To finish class, I will review the optional worksheet for reinforcement at home. This page will contain the vowel sound of class, words to practice blending or segmenting, and a fluency passage learners read in class.

 My teaching style is aimed towards the gradual release model. This model is a three step approach to success-- 
I do (I model for learners the sounds,  blending and segmenting procedure, and fluency process), 
We do (let's practice saying it together and blending/ segmenting), and 
You do (now it is each learner's turn to use the skill we are focusing on). 
Using this model, we will have a fun, charismatic exploration of the sounds we will learn in preparation for first grade or in review of first grade. I am hoping to see smiles and joy coming from each learner as mastery is achieved in class.

For this class, learners do need to have a stronger understanding of the alphabet and basic vowel sounds.  This phonics level class is more appropriate for readers reading on a level F for guided reading, DRA level 10, Bob Books level 3-4, or Lexile level 200 and above.  This class encompasses the phonics instruction for vowels in first grade. It is wonderful review or reinforcement for a second grade or third grade learner.
