Phonics For Latinos - Mini Workshop

THE GOAL:

Moving The Kids From Sounds to LETTERS
LETTERS to Sounds
It's all in the CARDS . . . so let's play!

Start with a small group of students

Step 1

Establishing Similar Sound Awareness
This is a very lengthy process and should not be rushed.
Students should have many experiences grouping beginning sounds
(otherwise, there is nothing to pin a letter on)

Deal:
Two Picture Cards:


Pineapple (piña)	Pear (pera)
TEACHER:: "Do they begin alike?" STUDENT: "Sure"

next
Deal:
Three Picture Cards:

River (río)	Sun (sol)	Robot (robot)
TEACHER:: "Which one has a different beginning sound?" STUDENT: "This one."

now
Deal:
Six Picture Cards:

Pear (pera)	Tiger (tigre)	Doctor (doctor)
Dentist (dentista)	Paper (papel)	Turtle (tortuga)
TEACHER:: "Which ones begin alike?" TEACHER: "Now group them together."
