Phonics Fun with Friends

Join expert 1st grade teacher Jennifer Glueck and her small group of students as they explore the /i_e/ sound in a Team Sort It activity! Watch how Jennifer seamlessly integrates a multimodal approach—encouraging students to say each sound aloud as they write. In addition, observe how the words are grouped by the /i_e/ sound. Grouping or chunking information is one of the best ways for the brain to absorb new information. The chunking of this information by sound is a more logical presentation for the child. He already knows the sounds in words. You just need to create the bridge to the precise spellings: /oa/ = o, o_e, ow, oa, o So, we introduce the long “o” sound and its most frequent spellings (“o,” “o_e,” “ow,” “oa,” “oe”) in one session. When we allow students to discover the main spellings of one sound all at once, they acquire a better understanding of how our written code works. Not only is the activity powerful by itself but when it's done with an engaged team, students may be even more motivated. 👉 Ready to elevate your phonics instruction?
