Today students used the sound graphing page in our SWR notebooks to segment sounds in words and spell them. This works very well when new sounds are introduced, such as "qu," which students have been practicing in their spelling this week. To "graph" a word, students fill in the number of boxes on their page that corresponds to how many sounds they hear in the word. For example, the word "quick" has three sounds: /qu/ /i/ /ck/ but it is spelled with five letters. The /qu/ and /ck/ "share letters" to make the sound. I taught children the "Qu Song" to help them remember this sound. I will record it tomorrow on video for you to see and hear!
Sound graphing is fun and effective!
I projected the sound graphing page onto the Smartboard for all students to see. Unfortunately the image doesn't show in this picture.
During our Literacy Station time, students can play literacy skill games.
These two were so silly about having their picture taken, but they did a great job solving these vowel puzzles together!
