This resource allows students to add on to their learning of phonics rules as they are able to stay enaged and do hands-on learning through a game activity.
An emergent reader is a young child who is in the early stages of learning to read. They are developing foundational reading skills and becoming aware of how written language works. Emergent readers rely on visual cues, context, and basic letter-sound knowledge to make sense of the text as they gradually build their reading abilities. Emergent reading is defined as all of the behaviors and understandings of learners of any age that precede and develop into conventional reading. (Koppenhaver, Coleman, Kalman & Yoider 1991; Sulzby, 1985)Emergent reading strategies include providing opportunities for shared reading, self-selected reading, accessing various types of text, and building background knowledge. What if a student cannot hold a book and turn the pages of a book? What if a student is non-speaking, how will they participate in reading experiences? This module provides ideas for removing these barriers to provide rich emergent reading experiences for ALL students.
This online activity helps students recognize word patterns by having them sort a series of words into short-vowel word families.
