In the article, Teaching Phonemic Awareness, it discusses how incorporating songs into the curriculum can help children with sounding out words. The children will sing songs together and this allows the teacher to hear them say the words and see what they need to work on. I like this idea because it seems fun and will get children excited to learn. Also reading aloud nursery rhymes will help teach phonemic awareness. For example, children can read Hey Diddle Diddle to help them with letter D. This is an idea I also like because there is a wide variety of nursery rhymes to choose from and children can pick out certain poems to read.

I also really like the idea about incorporating songs into the curriculum to help children with sounding out words. In my Kindergarten class I am currently in they use different songs and activities to help them learn phonemic awareness. There are so many different videos on YouTube that my teacher uses to help with word meaning and even learning letters and letter sounds. The children love it, because they get to sing. The teacher loves it even more, because the children learn so much out of it.
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you brought up nursery rhymes because I still remember the specific songs I learned when I was younger. It says a lot that I still remember them because that means it truly stood out to me and had an impact. In addition, I agree with you and also find that using songs in general can help with elementary students. For instance, ABC songs or Fifty Nifty United States songs. These songs will stay with students forever!

I think you are exactly right, Rachelle!
ReplyDeleteI can even remember back in my first and second grade classroom singing songs as a class. It was my favorite part of the day! And little did I know that I was working on my letter sounds and phonetic awareness. I can even remember a song about "instincts" and how animals do things because it is their instinctive way of doing them! So you can also tie other subject matter into songs!
Rachelle,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I think incorporating music and songs into the curriculum makes learning more fun for everyone. I am in M333, which is a class about how to incorporate music in the classroom, and we have been learning all different types of strategies and techniques to bring music into the classroom. This may also motivate children to participate more because it is interactive and will hopefully get them excited. I really like your ideas, thank you for sharing!
love reading about fun games to play with students! I really want to make sure that I make the school day fun and enjoyable for my students. I like finding ways to make things that we already have to teach fun. That will make it more exciting for us as well!
