Session Description:
This course will present a kinesthetic, hands-on approach for bridging the gap between phonological awareness, reading and written language. Attendees will learn specific hand symbols for consonants and vowels that will assist in teaching rhyme, alphabetic code, sound-symbol relationships, phoneme segmentation and blending. Attendees will also gain an understanding of the phonological awareness continuum and which activities should be taught when. Attendees will learn many songs and over 50 phonological awareness activi-ties that can be implemented immediately into the classroom with any language arts curriculum. Phonological Awareness Assessment will also be covered. The children will “love” this method of teaching literacy.
Session Learning Objectives:
- Identify the rationale for using a multi-sensory approach to developing phonological awareness.
- Demonstrate use of hand symbols for consonants and vowels to assist in teaching rhyme, alphabetic code, sound symbol relationships, phoneme segmentation, and phoneme blending.
- Learn activities that are appropriate for different levels of phonological awareness.
- Learn how this approach will fit into any language arts curriculum.
- Identify quick ways to assess each student’s phonological awareness skills
