Transcript
This is our word family listening center. And we begin a new word family weekly. And the word family for this week is /at/. So the students began to listen to an audio talking about the word family /at/, and they can sing this song Rat-A-Tat Cat. And once they have finished listening to that audio they will come to this white board and they will begin to create words on their own. And then after these words are created they will then place them on word family houses that they have already done.
Activity Objective
The goal of Word Family Listening Center: Developing Phonemic Awareness (Virtual Tour) is to provide students with opportunities to play with the individual sounds in spoken words by switching single sounds in words.
Quick Tips
Additional Comments:
- Helping students build an awareness of the individual sounds in spoken language through active participation leads to increased skills in reading and spelling.
- Use these activities on a daily basis to help build students' phonemic awareness. Oral participation allows all students to become engaged in the activity.
- Keep in mind the differences between phonics instruction and phonemic awareness. Phonics is the relationships between spoken sounds and written letters. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words.
