Both blending and segmenting are the building blocks of reading and writing . While we always focus on teaching kids to blend the sounds together into words , segmenting is equally important for them as it helps in mapping sounds that further develops strong reading and writing skills . In this activity we practiced floss rule words and broke it down into individual sounds . This approach of using hand on technique with legos really helps the young minds to map the sounds in their brain instead of doing it orally which actually can be really abstract for them. Don’t forget to SAVE and benefit your kids from this. #scienceofreading #earlyreaders"
Rianna Le | Australian Primary School Teacher on Instagram: "Blending is easiest when... Words contain or begin with continuant consonants (sounds that can be indefinitely extended) 🗣 These are: f, l, m, n, r, s, v and z. Other consonants (nasal stops or non-continuants🚫) can be a little more tricky for emergent readers to blend as they have an obstruction of the airway which means they essentially ‘stop’ as they’re making the sound 👄 Try it out yourself! Make the /m/ sound vs. the /b/ sound 👂🏼. Which is easier to extend and therefore blend?

Practice this with a list of cvc & digraph words in this activity pack ."
Sher Marshall on Instagram: "😳 Flashcards and writing words over and over are not the most efficient way to learn “sight words”. 🧠 Our brain wants to know how each sound in the word is spelled. Which letters match which sound? 💜 When we emphasize the part of the word that is spelled unexpectedly, we help our brain make a “map” of the word. (That’s the current theory, and it to be much more effective with kids!) 🌈After you have taught a word, this way your child will still need to practice. Instead of traditional “rainbow writing” (writing a word, repeatedly, but in different colors each time), you might have your child write each sound in a different color. So SAID would have three colors: S AI D. ✈️ Send this to a friend who has an early reader! #Kindergartenmom #preschoolm
Nisha Yadav| Your Key to Easy Learning Activities on Instagram: "SAVE this phonics game. I wrote letters and some digraphs on bottle tops. Then just start with a word and replace any sound with a new one and have the child say the new word. Replace and read. Want to see more phonics games?? Let me know in the poll below. A word ladder shows the child how they can change words by deleting or adding letter sounds. It’s a great game to strengthen vocabulary as well as spelling and phonics skills. Give it a try.

Danielle, M.Ed. | Early Learning & Kindergarten Readiness on Instagram: "Let me explain to you what I call the SCIENCE of READING: 📌 First, save this post so that you can come back to this when you feel tempted to have your kids memorize a list of words. STEAM mindset friends, focus on the PROCESS rather than the PRODUCT! 🌈 In this reel, I made a simple way for my three year old to practice sight words THAT WE HAVE ALREADY PRACTICED. 📚For example, we have been learning about digraphs so he is aware of the “th” sound rather than just memorizing the word “this” because that wouldn’t be effective with his reading development. 📚We’re practicing, playing, and having fun building words, which is a part of the learning process. ✍🏼Let me give you some proven strategies that emphasize the

Just write whatever you’ve been working on (sight words, letters, math facts, etc.) on paper plates. Turn on some music and pass the plates in a circle. When the music stops, call out a word and whoever has that plate wins the round. Then, go again! Nobody gets out so there is no crying. And it’s super easy to prep last minute! #reviewgames #kindergarten #kindergartenactivities #kindergartenteacher #iteachk #teachergram"
