I've been asked to share with you an activity I completed during module 3. It was a great activity which the children loved so here goes.
From a secondary mathematics background I feel very privaledged as my international school is supporting me as I work with three boys in their primary section. However, I am not the class teacher-I simply go in once a week to try out the different activities from the synthetic phonics course. Having completed the
The children thoroughly enjoyed this game. I think the fact that they each had their own salt cellar and glue stick facilitated the smooth running of the activity. They did the sounds “ch”, “sh”, “ee” and “ie” The only sound they were truly unfamiliar with at the start of the activity was the “ie” sound. They greatly enjoyed tracing, clueing and sticking salt onto their sounds. Then they would run their fingers over the sound while saying it. One child actually repeated the last part of the activity when he had all four sounds on his paper- he then made the other two children do the same. I then ask them to read four words for each of the sounds. There was still some confusion over “ch” and “sh”. However, this is to be expected for the two first language Portuguese boys as the “ch “sound is soft in Portuguese. W hat is very nice to see are again the children using the previous activity to help them with their reading. When stuck over the word “pie” one child was directed back to his sheet with the tracings. Seeing the sound once again and putting his fingers over it helped him to remember and read the word. I liked this activity very much.
