Here are a few of my materials that I have so far for this lesson.The powerpoint I created and the Monsters Inc game I just tweaked.Also two good warm up songs.EDIT:Added vocab sheet.
BTW, small issue but before using the Monster's Inc game, it has one slide that you guess "I like milk" and were given a picture of a spiraled ham plus one that's "I like chicken" and it shows a picture of some guy and no chicken.
I also think it's absolutely ridiculous that the book jumps from teaching the alphabet in the first semester to teaching full-on words in the second semester. I was really concerned because a lot of my students are lower level but, I managed to make a PPT that breaks down the words and then some. In the previous semester, I had already taught my kids phonics (the sound each letter makes). So this semester, I'll be concentrating on the sounds certain letters make when combined, i.e. 'ch' 'ui' 'oo' 'ck' The last few slides you'll see are only the 'ch' 'ui' 'oo' 'ck' phonemes on their own. The kids are meant to say the sounds as it's shown to review whether they remember the new sounds they learned. Also, some of the kids were wondering why the 'c' in 'juice' did not sound like 'k' so I wrote on the board that: C + E = SWhen you see 'C' and 'E' together it makes the 'ssss' sound. Look, I'm trying my best here. I've never formally taught children how to read but, I'm really trying my best to make it easy and comprehensible for my lower level students.
^^^^^Pokemon Telepathy Game is one of my concoctions
Good Pokeman game whoever posted it. I spent a few minutes filling it in with some pictures. My miniscule contribution. Pokeman Telepathy game with some pictures for vocab and simple sentences in it.
