I thought this weeks readings were really interesting. Its been so long since I have learned how to read, I have forgotten some of the rules and activities that were helpful in understanding the formation of words. I think that it's important as future teachers that we are knowledgeable about these rules, so that we may be successful coaches when we are choosing the correct cues to guide them. Both of these articles show great examples of how teachers use cueing in the classroom. In the Yopp Yopp article, it said that phonemic awareness can be supported though having linguistically rich environments. I loved all of the activities they used to show for each size of linguistic unit that was emphasised.
Phonemic Awareness Activities
Rich environments really do play an important roll in children's literacy. Thanks for bringing up such an important concept.
