Calling this activity “Letter Dash”. Some SK students are reviewing letter sounds and sight words. As I call out a sound or word the students grab it and bring it quickly to the table. So cute to see some students run over to another student and first help them find the appropriate letter.

Early Intervention with Initial Sounds
I thought it would be great to let these “little guys” move while they practice the initial sounds of words. This idea is adapted from one of the many free activities at The Florida Center for Reading Research. Great stuff at that site.
Pre-writing Skills to Writing
One of the most exciting things to see in my job is watching a young learner start to read and write. Amazing.
Here we counted the phonemes in the word “rabbit”; we count the sounds we hear when we say the word slowly. We put a different block down for each sound. Once a student can do this oral blending (see previous blog entry “Turtle Talk”) we talk about what letter to write to match each sound. I point to each of the separate blocks as we write the letters to help children think about separate sounds. Later I will add things like two letters making one sound (like th, sh, ch). Today was one of those amazing times.
