I decided to go with phonics because my first year of teaching was in a 1st grade setting. I gave importance to phonics the first months of teacher, as well as phonemic awareness. These are some strategies I implemented in the classroom ans worked for me.

These strategies can be used in different grade levels. It is recommended to use them more in kinder and 1st grade, but there could be students in other grade levels that are English language learners, and these strategies can help them as well.

Teaching phonics is the basic requirement for a teacher to teach students that are barely blending and decoding words. It is important to have hands on activities for the students to participate and learn better. I do, we do, you do!!

Involving and engaging the student in activities is where they will obtain more knowledge.

Something useful is saying a word out loud. You have to say each sound slowly so students can think about the word. They have to write it in the white board. "write it write it, hide it hide it" When they write their word they hide it, When teacher asks to raise the white board, he can see who is missing the letters/sounds, and how to help.

Very useful to do individual or cooperative learning. Teacher sounds a word, and students have to find the correct letter/s for the sound he is making. In cooperative learning, students work together to find the letter/s and form the word.

Another great resource is this website. They have different vocabulary games and letter games that can help the student obtain the correlation of letters/sounds/ writing. The use of technology is fundamental for students nowadays.
