It was very interesting to see different presentations using various methods of delivery. Using technology, voice recordings, explanations and ways to remember the spelling rules makes a lesson engaging and fun! But of course, lessons has to be suited to the age groups. Songs and rhymes would be suited for the younger student groups.
One thing that I took note of:
We have to be mindful about our pronunciation. To teach well and get our students to learn to speak well is to also set a good examples of how to speak well.

There are many fun and interactive Ways to teach phonics. Today I learnt that it could be taught with the use of props, songs, worksheets, PowerPoint and traditional white board. Depending on the age of the children, go down to basics such as playing the sound the animal makes and let the child identify the animal name. From there, introduce the letter and word. Teach the sound of the phonogram through repetition, use of pictures and word cards. It would be great to praise the children when they do well and are engaged in the lesson.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful sharing. The mini lessons gave me an idea of the different ways I can teach the phonograms from using sensorial things like felt taped on the letter, sky writing, sounds of animals to pictures first. This is followed by rehearsal of the sounds and different ways to remember it based on prior knowledge of for example when you go to the library have be quiet shh. Many creative ways to teach the sounds even when it was the same digraphs for certain teams the perspective were different. Finally, I learned that it is important to get the sounds right as the first time it is introduced it will stick and it is difficult to undo. We can use recorded sounds too.

There are many ways to introduce phonograms to students. It could be through songs for the lower primary kids, pictures and tongue twisters for the older ones and then followed by worksheets and quiz to test their understanding. Also to note, sometimes the resources that we obtain online may have certain accent. We have to be mindful of them. Its better to try to sound it out on your own, if possible.

Strategies have to be specifically catered to pupils so that they are comfortable with learning. It's good to inject humour and if possible use own voice so that pupils learn correct sound, local accent.

There are many ways of teaching students phonogram. Some groups use interesting props while others teach us how to teach phonics the traditional way in case technology doesn’t work.

I learned that we can teach phonics in many different ways. We need to be very careful when we introduce sounds to students as it stays with them in order not to confuse them with the wrong sound.

Songs, pictures, tongue twisters, actions and props can be used to teach phonograms. Phonograms can also be catered to older kids in secondary school by using differentiated strategies and materials.

We must be careful when we are teaching sounds. Once a sound is taught, it will stick and it is hard to undo. It is useful to show pictures and a list of words that make the same sound for reinforcement.

Thank you lovely classmates for all the nice sharing!

Have no experience in teaching primary students so all the sharings had been an eyeopener and very very useful.

Using of plushie/puppets was new and left a deep impression! Also got some ideas of how I should interact with students like saying "C says… K!"

Shall use all the notes I joted to improvise on my teaching method.

I enjoyed watching the different groups presenting. Each group came out with their own creative ideas to teach the class sounding letters and also engaged us in the activity as they teach us the different ways for the different letters. The groups made use of different modes of presentation be it online or offline but we surely enjoyed each and every group presentation.

Very rich sharing with lots of various techniques to apply on the same letter. I love the songs & tongue twister examples that was being shared.

I have learnt many ways of teaching phonics. Even the same phonics can be taught different ways to different level of students.

My takeaway today is learning from the different modes of teaching these phonograms. I like some how groups used poems and songs and that was very engaging especially for the lower primary students. Some groups used the i do we do you concept which was a great way to practice and get students to attempt the pronounciation on their own.

Students must learn the correct pronunciation from us future AED LBS and one tip from Dr Ow was we can use technology to enhance our teaching for example, recording of audios ourselves which can be used for a long time.

The sharings are rich with lots of variety and the collaboration are insightful and I learnt much and can mentally prepare of ways to use for our students.

I especially enjoyed the tongue twisters, role play, visuals, music and singing , and the drawing to remember certain rules., and the air writing, encouraging students to think and prompt them of the words that have same sounds.

I appreciated the sharings and the session and I hope to continue building up confidence in this aspect in teaching our SEN students in the future.

Today I got to witness different groups’ presentations, some use songs, poems, role plays, some used props to demonstrate how to learn the letter sound. All of the groups has their own uniqueness or special traits in presentations. There is one group that touches on teaching phonics to secondary level which is also interesting because like what my peers who presented phonics for the secondary school level, they mentioned for secondary school students , we have to modify our ways of teaching to suit the learning style for their level. I throughly enjoyed and learnt so many things from my group mates and yes, we are here to learn from one another without walls blocking from us. I am so glad to be part of this community who has passion to help students with learning difficulties.

I can see my peers presenting and teaching in mini lessons through engaging us with pictures, rhyming words and sounds. Some of them teach us  the sounds and get us to repeat and air write them. They use different voices to teach different sounds.

Another great learning session - with fellow students showcasing a slew of teaching styles involving phonograms that are mind blowing, innovative, eye catching and very enriching indeed. The variety in which we teach similar phonograms are very telling. I love the sharing of books too.

I have previously also experienced a little bit of phonics and I learned from my lbs colleague how to teach c and g. Today I learned something that is very different and useful in teaching these 2 phonograms which I feel would be very beneficial to visual learners. The smiley faces with the rules. Will definitely commit it to memory for use in the future.

Various pedagogy techniques for teaching phonics. Interesting presentation. Kudos comrades!

Many different strategies to teach phonograms. I like how we could link the phonograms with short phrases such as: “moon is beautiful ooooooo...“ “ look at the moon.” I also like how we could illustrate the phonograms rule in drawing for children to remember easily. From the peer teaching session today, I could observe that everyone used the “I do, we do and  you do” method too.

I learnt:
1. The use of worksheets to check students understanding between sh and ch, Long and short vowel sound after lessons.
2. Recording my own sound so I can use it again and again
3. Repeating the sounds and getting the students to repeat.
4. Linking songs, photos and props

I'm glad to have been introduced to so many sounds and ways to teach it via songs, poems, props, role play, writing on air, on board, recorded sounds, repetitions, worksheets and tongue twisters.
