Anita's Teaching as Inquiry Blog

Catering for our visual learners, by showing the configuration of a word eg... sm blends activity The idea of configuration of a word works in conjunction with sound boxes, this U Tube clip shows how we can teach learners to part a sound. Or segment a word. This is supporting visual learners see the shape of the words and break up the consonants and vowels. Planning on extending our sound boxes to looking at word configuration.  Thinking outside the square now... Outside chalk writing to look at word shape and using cars to hook in our boys to park our sounds.  Looking forward to trying this my new learners group of 1 magenta , 1 Red , 10 blue and 5 Green readers.

Using the whole body to learn, creating compound words with our hands, reading about counting in two from a big book, supported with a number grid, Memorising our sounds and blends by jumping on the correct on a learner can hear.
