Phonics Project
The book chosen is "Tigger" (ISBN 0-525-46233-3 © 1999). Tigger is a very short book that is physically in the shape of the Tigger character from A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh series. Most children have had some exposure to Winnie the Pooh prior to school so all should understand the story easily.
The story reads:
Tigger loves to bounce.
He bounces to Pooh's house,
Where there is honey for breakfast.
Tigger does not like honey.
Tigger doesn't like Eeyore's thistles, either. Ouch!
Tigger and Roo climb a tree
But Tiggers can't climb down. Uh-oh.
Tigger bounces Eeyore right into the river!
Then he bounces home. Good-bye, Tigger!
The story is very simple. The book is beautifully illustrated so the children's attention should be kept by both the illustrations and the rhythm of the words.
Sight words will be Pooh, Tigger, honey, climb, and bounce. These words repeat themselves at least once in the story and are words an average first grade student would use in everyday speech. They can also be used easily in other subject. For example, in math the students might have to count the honeybees. In gym class, students could climb something or bounce for a time.
The overall objectives are:
Read this story by themselves.
Recognize the sight words when used out of context
Understand the meaning of the sight words
Monday's Lesson Plans
Focus: Language Arts / Phonics / Spelling
Materials: Room Decorations
Be sure children understand the story.
Ask questions about the story.
Write sight words on board.
See. Say. Spell.
Equate recognizing words with recognizing friends. Ask children to remember back to their first day of school when they didn't know anyone. Recall that feeling. Now think of the feeling you get when your friends recognize you and you them. Ask how they recognize each other. Phonics is a tool to help you recognize words!
Recognize the clues. Little Sandy has brown hair and freckles. Pooh has a double "oo." Tigger has a double "gg." Bounce has the "ou." Show the children the "clues."
Phoneme Segmentation: Teacher asks the children to join in the chopping of a sight word. "Lets say it together. First we'll say it, and then chop the word. Ready?" Children respond in unison "/p / / ooh/." Teacher asks, "How many sounds?" Children respond, "Two." Teacher praises effort, and then chooses another word to model. "Now let's find out how many sounds are in Tigger's name. / t / / ig / / ger/." Children and teacher break apart Tigger's name together and count the sounds. Teacher and children repeat several times with the students' names. Follow Up: Read the text each day at least once.
Leave the sight words written on the board throughout the week.
Monday would be an introductory to the text and an overview of the…
Specialized Instructional Strategies for Teaching Reading The objective of this study is to examine two studies relating to development of literacy in preschoolers in view of the National Reading Project. Toward this end this study will examine the work of the National Early Literacy Panel (2008) and the work of Vossenkuhl (2010) both of which report studies involving literacy learning in preschool students.

Decoding: Identifying Improved Techniques and Approaches for Helping Children Learn to Read Because reading is essential to overall academic success, one of the most serious and explosive issues in the United States today is how to meet the educational needs of an increasingly diverse population of students with a wide range of developmental needs. The situation is urgent as well, since current trends in educational achievement suggest that millions of

Direct Instruction (DI) is a model for teaching that emphasizes well-developed and carefully planned lessons designed around small learning increments and clearly defined and prescribed teaching tasks. It is based on the theory that clear instruction eliminating misinterpretations can greatly improve and accelerate learning (Stockard, n.d.). Bibliography Clowes, G. (2001, February 01).

English Methods K-2 Teaching English in Grades K-2 There are four components of instruction in English language learning for children in the primary grades. The purpose of this paper is to discuss each of these components -- phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling, and reading -- and present learning activities suitable for grade levels kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. Some options for differentiation will be provided to accommodate different ability levels and learning
visual cues come from students developing knowledge of letter/sound relationships and of how letters are formed what letters and words look like often identified as sounding out words Example 2- Phoneme Awareness -- Recognizing Rhyme Assessment (Klein, 2003). Instructor: Says two-three words that rhyme: fat, cat, bat Model: These words have the same sound at the end so they rhyme; cat and mop do not rhyme because their sound is different. Share: Listen to
Clickers/Responses Phonics Lesson Phonics Long Vowel - Silent e Lesson Plan for Special Education Objectives: Students will recognize and say words that follow the c-v-c-e and v-c-e rule where the first vowel is a long vowel and the final e is silent. By using the Clickers/Responses as a classroom game they will utilize them after hearing the correct sounds. Students with the will be able to spell and write out some basic long vowel
