Gr. 1 Phonological Awareness - Info & Weekly Videos

Gr. 1 Phonological Awareness - Info & Weekly Videos

Rating

Phonological awareness skills are important in order to develop good reading and spelling skills. Having good phonological awareness skills means that a child is able to manipulate sounds and words, or “play” with sounds and words. For example, you might ask your child to break the word “cat” into individual sounds: “c-a-t.” Important: These skills deal with SOUNDS not letters. For example, /t/ represents the sound and not the letter name “tee.” You will not use any written or visual letters when working with phonological activities. These activities are done with listening and speaking only. Learning the letter names and their corresponding sounds is also very important but should be taught and practiced at a different time of the day. This resource will have a weekly activity for your to work on with your child/student(s). It will include a handout with information and guidance, as well as a video to help support you and the learner.

Orthographic Mapping to Support Writing

Orthographic Mapping to Support Writing

Rating

Orthographic Mapping is the process of forming letter-sound connections
in order to combine and recall the spelling, pronunciation, and the
meaning of words. It is the mental process we use to permanently store
words for immediate, effortless retrieval. Orthographic mapping is a skill
that develops from phonemic awareness and grapheme-phoneme
knowledge.

"Rebecca Burgess sees a problem with the way many people perceive the autism spectrum. Her resolution? The comic below. The Tumblr user debuted “Understanding the Spectrum” (below), which gets rid of the linear autism spectrum image (i.e. you’re either “not autistic, “very autistic” or somewhere in between) and replaces it with a round spectrum full of several traits or ways the brain processes information."

Student Support- Personal Stories

Student Support- Personal Stories

Rating

The outcome for this artifact is to see student engagement and introduce vocabulary. It is based on recommendations from a Speech and Language Pathologist for students with Autism. This was part of an Eiip goal. When creating these stories it is important to keep the following suggestions in mind.

· Stories should be created using simple vocabulary and sentences. The stories should also be created using a repetitive format which will lend itself to allow the student to, eventually, fill in blanks in the story by handing picture cards to the reader (e.g., “Peter plays in the snow with ____.”).
· If there is, eventually, an expectation for students to point to individuals in his/her personalized stories (e.g., mom, dad), he/she will need to have separate pictures to be taught who is who in pictures. Begin this process using errorless learning. This means that the student’s finger should be guided to select the right person he/she has been asked to identify in the picture.
· If the student has demonstrated an interest in turning pages in books, it may be beneficial to use ‘page fluffers’ in the personalized stories to make the pages easier for him/her to manipulate and turn. (Joelle Lowen, 2016)
Ideally the student will be able to complete the cloze sentence either by using a picture or saying the word.
