A huge thank you for all the generous 'Warm Feet, Warm Hearts' donations 💗
Over the past few weeks, the students have shown much learning, kindness and compassion about this important project.
Learning Intention:
- Children experiment with sounds in words
(Phonological Awareness: Foundational literacy is supported by the ability to identify and manipulate sounds in oral language)
Understandings:
- Words are made up of sounds (phonemes)
- Words that rhyme have the same sound at the end
- Words have initial and final sounds (phonemes)
- Words can be separated into parts (segmentation)
- Sounds can be blended to form spoken words
I Can:
- Identify sounds at the beginning/middle/end of spoken words
- Identify 1 syllable rhyming words
- Sort words based on their initial/final sounds
- Separate compound words into 2 individual words
- Identify the number of syllables in 1 -3 syllable words
- Blend sounds to form words
We have been working hard on building our phonological and phonemic awareness skills during our morning message times, read alouds, journal work, and through playing a variety of fun word games. These skills are both a necessary component of early reading and spelling development. Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate the spoken parts of words and phonemic awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words. Letters (or combinations of letters) represent the individual phonemes in spoken words. Below are some literacy support videos from the CBE that provide more information and examples of both phonological and phonemic awareness.
