Ms. Clark's Reading Group

 We are making great strides in reading class! We have mastered correctly identifying letters and their corresponding sounds.  We can recognize syllables in words and are able to clap, stomp, or tap out the appropriate number of beats.  We are comfortable identifying beginning and ending sounds in words, and  are able to segment sounds in  CVC words.  We have a foundation of sight words and can now recognize color words with ease. Currently we are expanding our list to include the following sight words:
the, a, is, in, not
The readers have been working with short a CVC words.
Next up, we will begin to read short a books in class that will be sent home to practice reading aloud!
Way to go readers!
Watch below as we segment sounds in CVC words. We first started as a whole group then advanced to assigning the beginning, middle, and ending sounds to individuals- seen below. We began with instruments to help us with a verbal and kinesthetic approach. We then move to a whole body approach and jump from left to right (just as we read words) as we segment the beginning, middle, and ending sounds. A great learning experience for auditory and kinesthetic/tactile learners. At the end you see a friend reading an -at family slider aloud.
