I got several ideas that I'm going to try in my classroom this year!
 
Very informative- I agree that it is so important to say the correct sounds and also use books that have the g and a written the way they would write them.

Thank you for specifying the importance of isolating the correct sounds. I am all the time having to correct paraprofessionals and students, it is so imperative to learning to read. This webinar is a great beginning resource for educators working with early childhood and primary students.
 
I love the idea of having students start mid alphabet and loop around
 
Knowing the alphabet is paramount. Not singing it, listening to the sound of each letter and being able to say the sound. As well as identifying sounds in isolation. Animals, clapping sounds, etc.

The presenter is good at reviewing terms (i.e., phonics, phonological), and providing common sense strategies for laying a solid alphabetical foundation. Thank you.
 
Awesome ideas!
