Dressing Up Vocabulary with Storyrobe. Overview In our school district the majority of students are English Language Learners, and building vocabulary is a very important part of the day.

Dressing Up Vocabulary with Storyrobe

Over the last couple of weeks, I have had the pleasure to work with a few teachers and students to help them use language in a simple, yet effective way. The project allows students to use new vocabulary multiple times and also makes learning new vocabulary fun, as they get to use the Storyrobe, Photo Wall, and Doodle Buddy apps. Preparation To prepare for this apptivity have the students create a story board that goes along with vocabulary words they are learning. Pre-production: 1. Production: Doodle Buddy 1. Both of these actions will save the picture in the device’s photo library for later use. 2. Bluster! Vocab Rootology - Greek and Latin Roots and Etymology. Dragon Dictation. Storyist. Apps for Digital Storytelling - Digital Storytelling with the iPad. StoryKit. Storyrobe. Puppet Pals HD. rED Writing - Learn to Write.

Profs' Phonics. Profs' Phonics invites 3 to 7 year old children to explore detailed paintings for words that start with a particular sound.

Profs' Phonics

Children will come to understand that words may start with the same sound that is represented by a letter of the alphabet. This is known as 'cracking the alphabetic code' and is essential for children to be able to understand the reading process. Profs' Phonics has been developed by Professors Ruth Fielding-Barnsley and Ian Hay as a result of their research into how children learn to read.
