Reading Blog- What you should know? Week 2 Assignment 3

I enjoyed all these videos, I even notice I do some of these with my son while we are at home or out. He is only one and saying some words but why not let him hear the sounds and letters now to develop words in the coming months of him speaking. Becoming and familiarizing children with prints are very important especially that they are so many options to give these students.

Print Awareness- Saying the latter, the sound and giving an example of a word. So for example I usually say to my son A for Ariyen (his name) or A for Apple. He gets really excited and smile, so now every time I say a letter he waits for me to say a word and response. At a very early age children learn by sound, visual images, pictures, and interaction. It is very important to express language while speaking and playing.

Phoneme Swapping/ Word Games- This games worked out really well in the video and I can see myself do this in my future classroom. I thought the students in the 3^rd grade swapping letters with the letter ‘A’ was very unique and a great development for vocabulary. Semantic radiance is great as well because it expands student’s vocabulary and great for sentence structure and an expandable vocabulary.

Overall I enjoyed all the videos because it’s something I have taken notes on and will hopefully incorporate in my future classroom. There are so many ways to help students learn to read, expand vocabulary and so forth.
