This week I will continue to work on the benchmark data and create new goals for students in the RTI program. I am also very excited to continue working with the first and second grade students this week in a small group setting. I will implement a phonemic awareness program, as well as reinforce concepts beinng learned within student's classrooms.
First Grade
Students will learn how to spell and read words with long a; they will become "detectives" to find words with vce (vowel consonant vowel) patterns and realize that that the "magic e" creates the vowel to say its name. Students will also practice identifying and reading words with digraphs- ch, wh, th, and sh. They will segment words into individual sounds and will add rimes to beginning sounds to form new words.
Second Grade
Students will review digraphs th, wh, sh, and ch. They will learn how to spell and read words with vowel pairs ai, ay, ow, ou, ee, and ea. Students will blend individual sounds together to form words. They will have fun with words by realizing that numerous words can be made by changing either the beginning, middle or ending sounds. They will also have opportunities to practice their writing skills through journal writing.
