Phonics Training
Great day today reinforcing everything we currently do with our phonics programme in the classroom. Have previous been on this course, it was very beneficial to go again as it reminded me of certain things I have omitted and she also had a couple of new ideas.
Points from course
*remember graphic knowledge is knowing the shape of the word, work knowledge - just knowing it
*Yolanda reiterated the utmost importance of making sure children reread continuously - something I do focus on when I teach writing - yay doing something right!!
* reread to make sure it looks right, sounds right and makes sense.
*important to sing - aids phonological awareness
*sound breaks - syllables
*important children hear a syllable break - practice on their names
*nursery rhymes - do every day
* can they supply a missing word in a rhyme eg: little bo peep has lost her ........
need this by 1 year at school*call out any word in rhyming strings
*P18/19 are we doing this every day.
* use the Phonological awareness book - Yolanda's other book.
* Priority kids eg: Zack - flash a letter card throughout the day - hour by hour - what's the sound ...
*during guided writing - clap your sentence - Me -write their idea quickly on piece of paper so we don't forget.
*when checking with kids what sound it is on their word card - tell them to start with then ask them -- is it this one or that one!! give a choice of only two - they need to start doing the work.
*vowel drilling - use 5 big cards aaa oooo
then vowel strip
then vowel strip - black and white card - leave on teaching station
*STAGE 4 - freeze the pointer so kids actually have to stop at each sound rather than race through.
*page 15 - change my phonics - add a word - take it to fluency
*POEMS - print out poems
Kill the robot 3 months later
* How fast can my children read
*Early words 25 words
5 x 5 2 errors - stop the test
60 seconds - count up how many words he read
eg
is my Zack is Zack
my my is Zack is
Zack is Zack my my
Zack is Zack is my
my Zack Zack my is
*STAGE 5- at this stage at the end give them a 'hat ' test
hat hut hot
** always make it to transfer level - transfer what they know into writing and reading
This is me volunteering to do the robot!!
