Well, don't get frightened or turned off just yet. You already know this stuff. What is phonics? Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing by developing learners’ phonemic awareness. Why is phonics important? Phonics helps your child learn to read and spell. When is the best time to learn? It is often best to start learning to read through phonics from preschool to 2nd grade or from about ages 3 to 8. Why start so early?

writer's notebook We have just finished our first week in our new writing unit - writing about books. The goal of this unit is to inform the reader about a book and share your opinions. At the end of this unit the kids will write a book review and then publish it by pasting their review into the book they've read or by reading their review in front of a video camera and then the reviews will be broadcast on a television screen in our school lobby. Success in this unit is built on lots of prior talk, talk, talk about books. I started out the unit by thinking about all the books I've read recently that stuck in my mind. Close up of the "Books I've Read" page. Books I've Read page followed by entry about a book - not a structured entry, just write about a book as if you were having a conversation with the page. The next few days in the unit are about things that a writer may choose to include in their book review. We just finished a unit on theme in reading so we didn't spend long on this.

This site includes an option to view the website in multiple languages. The books and exercises, however, do not translate and are best downloaded in English. The materials are very well done and I liked the fact that many activities were grouped around specific letter combinations. by mkknowles Jul 17
