CORE TEACHER MODELLING CARDS - essential ‘lesson introduction’ material
It will be helpful to watch the 8 minute video to understand the reasoning for the words included on the CORE TEACHER MODELLING CARDS.This resource can be used in a reduced size (as single sheets of paper or booklets) for learner-rehearsal of core alphabetic code knowledge and skills. Its key role, however, is to provide the teacher (tutor or parent) with a comprehensive all-in-one resource to introduce new alphabetic code and to model the three core skills of:
1) blending all-through-printed-words for reading (decoding);
2) orally segmenting all-through-spoken-words for spelling (encoding);
3) handwriting the new letter/s-sound correspondence and, further, putting it to use in spelling.
Providers in school and pre-school settings can laminate this resource and after using each CORE TEACHER MODELLING CARD to introduce the new alphabetic code and skills, the cards can be immediately transferred to the main display wall to systematically build up a set of posters to support continuous learning.
The CORE TEACHER MODELLING CARDS can be used as a stand-alone lesson introduction resource or along with other Phonics International multi-sensory aids. In the full Phonics International programme, the PICTURE POSTERS (visual resource) and online ‘HEAR THE SOUNDS’ (audio-visual resource) in units 1 to 6 provide picture/word examples with the focus letter/s-sound correspondence (especially helpful when English is being taught as a foreign language).
[Note: You can hear about the use of this resource in the 8 minute video clip in the green box via the Phonics International homepage entitled: ‘Demonstrating the power of synthetic phonics teaching with the Phonics International Early Years Starter Package’.]
