Phoneme Awareness and Letter Knowledge Instruction “will facilitate children’s learning of the alphabetic principle by drawing their attention to the sounds that are related to individual letters.”
-Barbara Neslin
Lesson
Objective: to teach onset-rime and letter sound correspondence.
· During small group instruction give each child a mat and 5 die cut letters.
- · Begin by making sure the red arrow is on the bottom as they look at the mat.
- · Next, check for understanding of the position of the first, middle and last sounds. By having the children touch the appropriate spaces.
- · Vowels are always red and placed in the middle section for instruction on word families and changing the onset rime.
- · “Put the /a/ in the middle and the /t/ at the end. /aaaaaa/ /t/, good at.”
- · Add the /mmmm/ sound to the front. Stretch the sounds /mmm//aaaaa//t/, mat.
- · Take off the /m/ and put on the /p/.
- · /p/ /aaaaa//t/ pat.
- · Take off the /p/ and put on the /sssss/
- · Stretch the sounds. /ssssss//a//t/ sat.
- · Continue with whatever new letter sounds you are working with that week.
- Extend activity to ending sounds
I’ve always great results with this in my guided reading groups the children love the hands on activity. They remain engaged and like to be inventive. I let them make up their own words and we discuss whether they have made a real word or nonsense words after they sound them out. I look forward to using them when we get there this year!
