It’s important for multilingual children to develop phonemic awareness because it helps them connect the sounds of English to the letters they see in print. Since the sound systems of their first language may be different, they need extra practice hearing, separating, and blending English sounds. Strong phonemic awareness builds a foundation for reading and spelling, supports their vocabulary growth, and makes it easier to transfer their language skills across both languages.

# data[].attributes.body
In the lesson, the teacher checks phonemic awareness by asking the student to pull apart the sounds in a word and say each one. This shows whether the student can recognize and separate the sounds clearly. The student seems confident with this skill since they can say the sounds and blend them together without much support. By using these questions, the teacher is both assessing progress and giving the student extra practice with sounding out words.

This activity is extremely helpful for teaching phonics. In this activity it is expected of students to be able to represent hearing sounds with the words and letters that represent them. This is best explained with examples and modeling done by the teacher and really helps children grasp the concepts. It is clear that the students are engaged, ready to learn, and responding well to this activity. Their ability to complete the task such as matching sounds and letters tells us that they are gaining the skills they are expected to gain.

The teacher is assessing the student's ability to isolate sounds in words. The teacher asks the student to name the first sound in the words the student is given. The student has a strong understanding of letter sounds. The teacher is also assessing the student's ability to blend letter sounds to make a word. The student had a very strong understanding of this phonemic awareness strategy. I would say the student has strong phonemic awareness skills.

# data[].attributes.body
This activity is helpful because it allows the children to practice manipulating words, blending consonants and vowels(short) to create the word the teacher is asking for. I think the activity is great because it shows children how to substitute consonants of words in the same family! The teacher does a great job of allowing the children time to answer. The children were focused and engaged during the activity.

This activity helps build phonemic awareness by instead of asking the child what LETTER is in the start of the word, what "sound" is in the start of the word. Then she goes into breaking down the word, "si-i-t" was one example the teacher gave, and the student replied "sit" very clearly. Getting the child to make those connections and fully sound out the word is helping them make and realize word structures. Especially working one on one with the student, it is making sure they have a good understanding of what they're doing and clarifying anything they do not understand as they are right in front of the teacher and can be corrected. They stay engaged and learn what they need to!

# data[].attributes.body
In this lesson, Ms. Applegate is teaching her students, specifically the little girl on how to sound out words and what the end result is, and what sounds form a word, not just the letters that make up the word. Although Yaseena had to be corrected once at the start, because she thought she was supposed to give the letter instead of the sound, after correction she seems to be thriving, well understanding, and engaged having this one on one learning with Ms. Applegate. I think Yaseena is responding well to Ms. Applegate's tactics.

It is important for multilingual students to develop phonemic awareness not only to associate sounds with other words and be able to make sense of them, but to also be able to effectively pronounce the words because the English language is so hard. The skills it takes and the knowledge learned from phonemic awareness will carry on with them and they will become more fluent and more understanding of English and the

language as a whole.

The teacher is assessing phonemic awareness by making sure the student is following their direction with the pronunciation of the sound, the connection of the sound with the letter, and then putting the broken down, sounding out of the word together. I believe this student does have string phonemic awareness skills. she does really well and is putting words and concepts together quickly.

Mrs. Applegate is teaching Yaseena phonemic awareness. She is using a strategy where she says a word, and Yaseena is to identify it. She does this by sounding out the word and counting the number of sounds it has. Yaseena did well with identifying the sounds for each word and even fixed herself when she realized she messed up when trying to make the sounds into letters.

It is important for multilingual children to learn these skills because they help the children to hear and work with individual sounds in words, which is the first step in learning how to read and write in English. Since many languages have different sounds, it is important for them to understand how English words are pronounced as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher is assessing phonemic awareness by getting the student to identify individual sounds at the beginning of words. Then the teacher identifies each sound in a word and asks the student to say the word. The student has pretty strong phonemic awareness skills.

How does the activity help children develop phonemic awareness? How do the kids respond?

This activity helps children develop phonemic awareness because they are sorting different items based on an ending. It allows them to work on specific word parts. In the video, the kids were working on specific word endings. The students were sorting items to match their specific bin. The kids responded well to the activity with limited guidance/help from their teacher. I think this is a great hands on learning opportunity for kids to understand phonemic awareness.

Explain what Ms. Applegate is teaching in this lesson. How is Yaseena responding to the lesson?

Ms. Applegate is teaching a phonemic awareness and word breakdown strategy. She is asking Yaseena to sound out the word and count with her fingers how many syllables she hears. She then draws dashes based on the amount of syllables she finds. After that, she spells out the word to check for understanding on the word. I think Yaseena is responding really well to the lesson! She seems to be able to have and find the correct amount of syllables in a word and spell out the word correctly or fix the mistake if there is one.

How is the teacher assessing phonemic awareness? Does the student have strong phonemic awareness skills?

The teacher is assessing phonemic awareness by asking the student to address the sounds that she hears at the beginning of a given word. This is allowing and identifying if the student knows letter sounds. I think the student has a strong sense of phonemic skills. But I get a feeling that she seems a little hesitant about her answers. Almost as if hse lacks the confidence for the skill.
