This week my focus was on reading reading activities that target childrens' needs. As soon as I walked through the door I saw the RTLB and TA working with the lower reading group. They were looking at word sounds and words that have that sound. I watched for a while and saw how engaged the children were as they were finding success in the program. Immediately I decided I would try Yolanda Soryls phonics program with my low group.
During the second block of my release day I pulled Carlos, John and Mina out of class and we worked through the program. We focused on the 'a' sound. We were using the robot to sound out the words and the children were engaged in what we were doing as it was fun. By the end of the lesson they were able to say all the words with the 'a' sound. They were challenged by the silly sentences but this just needs time and practise.
I was very proud of the work these three children produced and they were focused as they found it fun.
My next step is to introduce it to my TA so that she can incorporate it into her repetior.
