Writing helps students connect their brain with their body; adding a kinesthetic way to remember their new words.

I sculpted a double bubble thinking map because text structure is important in organizing thinking. This helps with comprehension.

I made the word cat. Students would tap out each sound using some type of tool, such as magnetic chips. This will be a hands on activity for the kids to learn to read.

I learned the importance of making learning visual and fun.

Different parts of the brain have different functions and some parts work together.

This model represents the importance of introducing syllables to students using familiar/unfamiliar words to students.

This is a sound box. It is a good visual to use when helping students sound out words and manipulate sounds.

I want to use paddles when teaching letter sounds and spelling in small groups. Please order me some, Brenda! :)

Forth grade is excited to use the spelling test that Maritza and Cassandra introduced to the group.

I feel invincible. I'm inspired. I can do anything!

This artifact represents a thinking map. After you have explicitly taught students text structure and their corresponding thinking maps. When students can identify the text structure, this will allow them to use the thinking map for their writing.

This is a letter chain. You would make a word and have kids change the word based on the new letters. “Cat” can change to “sat” and “bat” with the letters.

Using a sound mapping paddle can be useful for students to visualize a word. It can also help identify spelling patterns they know or have been taught! ☺️

I made a book, because I learned about text structures.

Play-doh can be a multisensory strategy for phonological awareness skills. Roll pieces together for blending, break pieces apart for segmenting, add another color for adding/substituting.

Keep the instruction short! Students do not need to work on a strategy for hours but rather short sessions because we want to keep their attention.

They say it’s a good program so I’m happy😻😻
