Working
With Words
Working With Words is an activity
that helps students understand how
words work. It helps them work with
articulation of words, segmentation of
words,
sequencing of letters and sounds in words, and word patterns and
chunks. It is better than
traditional phonics instruction because it engages the child in the
slow articulation of words and sorting letters to make the words.
The activity is always linked to
literature or a theme unit the class is
doing. |
