Join in this interactive phonological awareness and phonics lesson which includes embedded teacher training.
Have you ever wondered what distinguishes phonological awareness and phonics? What about what makes them related? Those questions will be answered using straightforward mnemonics and examples that will help you teach students these skills more easily.
Students will observe and practice production of three letter sounds (phonemes) and learn associated letters (graphemes). The lesson incorporates structured literacy principles in fun, student-friendly games appropriate for tier 1, 2, and 3 instruction. Students advance from phonological awareness to pure phonics practice while also building background knowledge. This lesson is aligned to the Sprouting Sounds and Veggie Village games in WORD Force.
