Reinforcing Activities
Letters Directionality
Referring to the People line Banner, helps while reflecting upon reasons provided in the letter stories for each letter formation. The Practice Sheets provided review what is shown in the Video for this section.
Directions:
Remember the stories of the letters and why it looks the way it does. Circle the one that is correct.
Hints:
which is the nice needle?
Spelling Sheet
Correlated to this lesson. Making it easy for student to go back over it with the video if need be.
Directions:
First help in saying the name of the picture. The together say it (demonstrated in the program) slowly, slower and then as slow as you can without stopping sound. The figure out which letter makes the first sound. If there is hesitancy, supply the appropriate sound prompt to help your student’s recall. Then as child writes the appropriate letter - reference the people line or use the writing prompt to reinforce the program.
Decoding Application - Humming
Using various aspects to associate to helps in strengthening the understanding of gaining fluency. Associating the continuous sound of humming to properly capture helps in relating the continuing sounds of letters together to better hear a word
Double Consonants Mini-Poster
[Remember: a consonant is a big words that just means regular letter - NOT a vowel. ]
When there are two consonants at the end of a word, just say their single sound a bit stronger and louder; there is no reason to say it twice! As you now know, the Mini-posters help to Visually reinforce information.
#5 VOWELS
“Because the vowels are SO IMPORTANT (no vowels- no words!), they have been given at least two sounds, a long sound and a short sound. And as you now know,
“The Long Sound is the Letters’ Name!”
Directions:
On top of the double vowels draw a long sound symbol over one of them and a short sound symbol over the other. Then go back and say the sound that each of them makes according to their symbol.
The Queen at the END
When a very special person stands in the back of the line, a big LONG fuss is usually made. In the same way, when a vowel is the only vowel in a word, stands in the back, it usually makes a long sound.
Therefore, placement is very important in determining the which sound the vowels make. The Mini-Poster is to help remember the reasoning of the story.
BONUS
Directions:
Write the letters on the lines above the hands that they are signing. Then see if you can decode the words. [Answers can be found in the Video.]
Directions:
Write the letters on the lines below their morse code symbols. Then see if you can decode the words. Remember, letters are separated by single slashes. Words are separated by double dashes [Answers can be found in the Video.]
Parent/Instructor Resource Material
Progressive Words List (Up to Oo)
It is essential for securing a solid literacy foundation for students to only be provided words to decode words with only the letters that are correlated to where the program is. At this moment in time, we are up to the Letters Oo. Prompts are to be used to effectively provide reasoning for greater retain and eventually speed; they also increase student confidence and remembrance. (DO NOT give answers not promote guessing). If a prompt isn’t quickly responded to with an answer- than that letter’s video needs to be watched and interacted with again. Choose an Activity:
#3 Activity:
Roll a die and count that many down and circle a word. Write the word on a piece of paper. Decode the word and then draw a picture involving it.
