                         TEACHING READING

 

 

                          Phonological Awareness        

                                  

Phonological awareness shows beginning readers how to divide language orally into smaller units. This ability is developed through an understanding of rhyme, sentence and syllable segmentation as well as onset and rimes.

 

                                                             Rhyming

           Have children tell you rhyming words

                                 You say: fat               Children say: cat

           Call a mixture of rhyming words

                                pen, mat, fun, hen, mat, sun, hat

 

                 Call the words together and have the children tell you which

                 ones rhyme.

 

          Find poems and songs with rhymes to further encourage rhymes.

          It is easy to create rhythm when teaching rhymes. Children love

          this.

                Have them clap or drum to rhyming words in poems and songs.

 

         Let children generate their own rhyming words based on words

         you say.

         You say: map

        They say: tap or rap
