1학년 음성학/철자: 음성학 댄스로 글자 조합 읽기/쓰기 배우기

This is an ongoing class that incorporates songs/movement; anchor charts; teacher modeling/directing; strong student engagement/participation; and visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities – including Phonics Dance* - to strengthen the learning process.  “Chunking” is a decoding strategy that teaches and trains the eye to recognize letter combinations in words, rather than letter-by-letter.  When learners become confident in these word chunks, you will see improvement in phonemic awareness, which will directly affect reading fluency, accuracy, and writing development.

Here is what you can expect during each meeting:
Review (quick review of previous patterns)
Pattern Introduction (learners will be exposed to 10-12 words containing the weekly patterns)
Phonics Dance (we will put movement and rhyme to each phonics pattern)
Tap it Out (we will tap out parts and decode the word together)
Word Detective (we will identify words within a sentence with the patterns of the week)
Catch-and-Spell (we will encode several words with the weekly pattern) 
Word Sort (we will create a word sort with each pattern, and use pictures to determine the correct word)
*Fix the Sentence, if time (we will read a sentence together and correct the mistakes)
