Phonics and Phonemic Awareness Activities for Kindergarten, First, & Second Grade!

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

At the beginning of this video, I make the mistake of saying Heggerty also has a phonics curriculum. From my understanding, it only has a phonological awareness curriculum! I didn't realize I had added the word phonics in there! For a good phonics scope and sequence, I suggest using the LETRS sequence for word study, reading, and spelling. Also, I recognize that blending and segmenting syllables and onset + rime are phonological awareness skills, while phonemic awareness skills focus on each individual phoneme! Just wanting to clarify a few of these things!

Thank you so much, Susan. I’m a Math Specialist (Grades 2-Alg 1) who has taught children and trained teachers since 1973. I’m retired now and working at a therapy center as a tutor. Recently I was asked to begin tutoring Reading. (YIKES!) Your work here is already helping me tremendously. Again ... thank you so much!

[@hollylaz3142]

You are a dream come true for a first-year teacher. Thank you so much!

[@marydaniels21]

I agree!

[@lolarose102]

I am tasked with homeschooling my 5 year old granddaughter, so I've been trolling your vlogs and picking up tips here and here. Thank you.

[@FreshKicks4545]

I'm here to pass my CSET. This video has helped me understand phonemes.

[@shirtking4506]

Thank you so much this definitely was helpful my 10 year old missed the phonics lesson in school from starting off in a different country it I now see where the gap is with his reading i appreciate this so much

[@cheriek3872]

These would be great games/tips for parents to practice with their children over summer break too

[@bethmeyer1743]

I would love to hear more phonemic awareness activities. I have students that really struggle to hear how many sounds are in a word. Especially when you get to more than 3 sounds.

[@marydaniels21]

Same here! I am so grateful for this video. I will definitely be trying this with my little scholars.

[@judyinnes6414]

Thank you. I'm sharing this video with my team. It's exactly what we do but such a good refresher. And the games are great. Thanks xxx

[@angelaossorio8067]

Hi, I would love to see some editable sight word games or activities. The curriculums continue to change and along with that, the order of teaching sight words and the sight words themselves. This would really keep it focused and purposeful. Love your Sunday Spotlight!!

[@NErDyLearning]

We are implementing Heggerty this year! Thank you!

[@Edvenchers]

The thing about rolling a die for vowels that go into the blanks is that after you have played a few rounds it could take many more rolls to get the vowel you need. Do you use a time limit? Do you review the correct answers? In the freer version of that activity, students play with making words by adding vowels. There could be many correct and incorrect answers. Do you care if they actually come up with real words and monitor to that end, or is the usefulness in the student playing around?

[@lenasalloum3087]

You are the best . We use these activities in montessori . I like your way

[@jazzmax4989]

Wow, I love this Susan. I would love to see more of these activities. Tactile activities would be great.

[@bookrendipity]

Thank you sooooo much, Susan! I'm a k to G2 tutor in Korea. I've been worried about teaching phonemic awareness first sound to final sound. BUT after watching this video, I can do teach them very clearly!! Love all your videos👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mariefelalantacon2699]

It really help me a lot to teach my learners especially the slow learners Thankyou so much keep safe

[@reynadamian910]

I’ve purchased your games and love them! I would like to see activities or ideas that we can use to build/increase student fluency. Students know the pattern but lack fluency to help them when they read.

[@auroraclemente1748]

Your channel helps me a lot.. thank you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰

[@NatashWhite]

Awesome! I would love to see a video about the Science of Reading?

[@sharice9607]

This was awesome omg thank youu 💓💖💗

[@tinaclymer4237]

Susan, I love your videos. Thank you so much for the tips on teaching phonemic awareness. To review skills already explicitly taught, I would like to use more games in the classroom with my Kindergarten students during literacy stations. I would also be interested in editable sight word games and activities. Several of my students have difficulty hearing more than 3 sounds in words. Any suggestions? Your activities are focused and very purposeful! I am interested in purchasing some of your games from TPT!

[@emma-kateelliott6687]

You amazing, I am so grateful to have founds your video

[@dennisetaylor9919]

[@dhonabhellobis2949]

Thank you, 😘 your video are helpful to teach in reading also for me I'm a primary teacher here in phils. keep safe🥰🥰🥰

[@user-nu5jn5gu5g]

Hi there! By when do children typically know how to blend all individual phonemes? Kinder? 1st grade? 2nd grade?

[@mrs.anitaabdelmegid436]

Fantastic professional approach! Thank you, Susan!

[@simplewithdimples4847]

This is a great video. Im a SAHM of a 5yr old and its been a bit hard for me tod Figure out what to teach in what order. If you ahve any videos that can help in that please let mw know:) thanks form a new subbie.

[@sujitnaskar2296]

hi, mam I like your video very much but I need more phonic and pronunciation in details all alphabets

[@emmaraju9566]

Hi Susan how do I access the free phonics games please?

[@katrinaho12]

Thank you Susan! I love all your videos- they always give me so many great ideas for my classroom. I’m so glad you mentioned Heggerty because I used that phonological book a lot when we were in the classroom, but haven’t attempted it during distance learning because being able to hear the students chorally on Zoom has been impossible. I would love to offer my students letter tiles to use during our phonics instruction and I know how beneficial it is for them to be able to manipulate the sounds in a word. However, I’m not able to provide a class set for my students- it’ll be too expensive to purchase. Do you have any ideas for good DIY letter tiles that I can perhaps make? Thank you for all that you do! You are amazing!!

[@mimosa349able]

Hi I have a question I need to teach my daughter reading please give me some tips please

Phonemic Awareness and Phonological Awareness Skills aren't the same thing. Phonological awareness skills can be divided into four different areas: word, syllable, rhyme and alliteration, and phonemic Awareness. Then reach of those is further finished into separate pieces as well. I talked to a women who has been teaching reading for years and she couldn't tell me what they all were without looking at her notes. It was frustrating to say the least

[@gabrielgracenathanana1713]

That is not true. All the items you listed are phonemic skills. Phonological skills are more much deeper and macroscopic. As a result, phonological skills are not surfaced until you learn other languages. The reason is that sounds are, by their very nature, “short distance” features, they are limited to “next to each other”. The differences between syllables and words are pretentious and false.

[@gabrielgracenathanana1713]

Phonics first or phonemic first. You, together with most, prefer the former; I vote for the latter. The argument for the former is that phonemic does not need print. But I believe that argument is reductionist. Modern human has the tool of letters, why not using them?! It is waste of time! Worse, you are torturing them! Let them have fun, do not “teach”. Then, try to teach them letters as soon as possible. Then, teach them phonics. Then, (advanced) phonemic skills, such as rhymes.
