Grace Lee (South Korea ETA)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Most of my 3rd graders already know the alphabet from hagwon, or were taught by their homeroom teachers, so I created this unit to teach my students basic phonics. This will help students learn alphabet letters, but will also teach them the sounds they make. I&#8217;m not going into more advanced phonics yet, but right now, I thought (and my coteacher agreed) they should learn basic phonics and words that begin with those sounds.<\/p>\n<p>I took some inspiration from the materials made by Rebecca Brower (ETA 15-16) and used some inspiration from Grace Lee (ETA 15-16)<\/p>\n<p>First, I showed my students the <strong>Phonics PPT<\/strong>. I asked students the alphabet letter name, what sound it makes, and taught them the word that goes with the letter. For ex: A, &#8220;ah,&#8221; apple. I went through the PPT and as I went along, I asked my students: what words start with &#8220;S&#8221; &#8220;sseu,&#8221; they would say &#8220;sit&#8221; &#8220;sorry.&#8221; A lot of my kids can speak and know words, but they don&#8217;t know how to write or read them.<\/p>\n<p>After going through the PPT, I handed out the <strong>matching phonics letter print out<\/strong>. It&#8217;s an alphabet chart. Each student gets one, and glues it in their textbook. All the words and graphics match the PPT, and the song I used to teach phonics to my kids.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I showed the<strong> phonics song from youtube<\/strong>. I had my students learn and sing it several times. They love this song! They practice the alphabet letter name, the sound it makes, and the word associated with it. Here&#8217;s the song: <a class=\"postlink\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GlRVhUd8d-M&amp;index=1&amp;list=PLMelLFcJfMPYeQsmE-p14xTLTIV0x9ZgW\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GlRVhUd &#8230; LTIV0x9ZgW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also created a <strong>phonics snakes and ladders game<\/strong> that my kids absolutely loved. I recommend having them play this after they have practiced learning the letters and sounds more. I also made <strong>phonics practice writing worksheets<\/strong>, teaching kids to write the alphabet letters uppercase, lowercase, and writing the word associated with it (C,c, Cat). Each page has 4 letters (1st page= A-D, 2nd page= E-H etc). I recommend splitting it up and only giving one practice sheet per class.<\/p>\n<p>The way I taught it is&#8230;I used one 40 minute class period to teach phonics, plus gave them the 1st page of the writing practice WS (A-D writing). Now, every class, I make my students sing the youtube phonics song (they follow it with their printouts), and at the end of each class, I make them do another page of the phonics writing practice WS.<\/p>\n<p>For additional resources, I also created <strong>2 phonics homework worksheets<\/strong>. One is fill in the blank, and the other are questions with the sounds. Feel free to assign it as additional work, or for a quiz or test in class~<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fulbridge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Phonics-Lesson-PPT.pptx\">Phonics Lesson PPT<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fulbridge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Phonics-Chart-PRINTOUT.docx\">Phonics Letter Print Out (Alphabet Chart)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GlRVhUd ...
