Phonemes First, then Sound-Spellings

Submitted by Judy Ramirez (11-10-2012)

« Back to Alphabet/Phonics

Hello, Australia!

I agree that phonemic awareness is what each young learner needs. Even a 3-year-old can 'get it' -- watch my little video on YouTube; search IndependentScholar - cut and paster the following URL into your browser.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSJ-tu84pRY

When we choose to focus on speech sounds, we'll create a solid foundation for precise spellings. How much better using words-to-be-read, that is actual author vocabulary?! I've posted a huge database of ideas.

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
