- We Are Learning To (WALT) & What I’m Looking for (WILF)

Loved the practice of phonics with peers - makes learning fun and interactive. Enjoyed today’s presentation by both groups. Will take in their ideas of using a low, slow tone to teach & their differentiated steps for kids to learn prefix and compound words. also the worksheet/activity given could be used in my future lessons!

The games and and worksheet really got my attention.. the presenters were full of energy and lively.. they were generous with their them of appreciation ..

I learnt ways to remember these phonics:
Au, Aw, Ow (2 sounds)

I learnt that we have to be careful about our word choices. E.g. "worksheet" might be associated with exams or homework and bring about negative emotions in a student

I particularly find the prefix lesson by Tian Li and Alethea informing. I learnt how to break down the word, decipher the meaning of the prefix and understand the meaning of the root word.

Today in lecture I learnt the teaching methods of compound words and prefixes. I really enjoyed the activity that was used in compound words that allows movement and interaction among peers within a classroom while also reinforcing the concepts that was taught. Alternative games could be a treasure hunt for 1 to 1 pull-out sessions.

Today I also learnt various ways of teaching the sounds of y with the word yesterday - that has two different sounds of y within the same word. That would make it easy for the student to relate.

Learnt about compound words, which consists of closed and open compound words. Learning prefixes is also beneficial for me in teaching students improve on their vocabulary

# data[].attributes.body
I've learnt more about compound words and prefixes from the sharings. I've also learnt when to use "ea", "ar" from the exchange with my peers.

# data[].attributes.body
learned new ways on how to teach prefixes and interesting ways to remember the letter sounds!

# data[].attributes.body
I have learnt:
1) Compound words from Rozi and Mangai’s presentation. Difference between open and closed compounds (open; full moon, closed; football)

2) Prefix from Tian Li and Alethea’s presentation. The 5 steps: Underline the root word, circle the prefix, find the meaning of the root word, find the meaning of the prefix, combine the meanings together.

3) Learnt phonograms OE, OA, ER, IR, UR, EE and OR..

# data[].attributes.body
The sharing of prefix 'un' and 'pre' was well done. The duo explaination was clear and succinct. The steps was repeated so that I can remember better.
The sharing by Annie and Tian Lee helped me to reinforce my learning of letter sounds.

1. Open and Close compound
Open: First Aid
Close: Armchair
- Activity: Matching with others (group) + Treasure Hunt (individual)

2. Prefix
1. Underline the root word
2. Circle the prefix (pre - before, un - not)
3. Meaning of prefix
4. Meaning of root word
5. Combine both words to get meaning of the combined word
Activity: Giving worksheet --> Let's do this task together (rather than using the word 'homework' as it might be a negative connotation for the students)

3. Acronyms to help teachers identify learning goals and let it known to the students
WALT: We Are Learning To...
WILF: What I'm Looking For....

1. Compound words
Learnt that it is a word that can be separated into two different word with different meaning

2. Prefix
Explicit teaching was very evident Alethea and Tian Li group. Helped us to remember the steps easily.

Learnt about the different sounds from peers.

- I love how Rozi taught the words 'm' and  'z'. To remember the sound of 'm', can think of the word marvelous and if a dish is delicious, you will also sound 'mmm'. To remember the sound of 'z', can think of the snoozing sound
-Love the presentation by Mangai and Rozi, it's visuals and also how two words come tgt to form a word with a new meaning
-Important to let the students know what we are learning
WALT: We Are Learning To
WILF: What I'm Looking For

Today we learn about Compound words (Closed + Open Compound) + Prefixes (Un and Pre) during the presentation. It was interesting to see the different activities that they came up with and the AHA moment is when Dr Liz remind that some students might not like the word 'homework' so we can use the terms tasks and assignments.

For sharing:
Sarah taught me dje, oy and tch. I like the part when she says destroy the poison which shows the rule clearly of oy- end of the word and oi in the middle.
Slyvia taught me igh, ew and ed. It was clear that gh is silent and we focus on /i/ when she taught me igh. She gave me visuals while teaching + recaps that made it more clearer for me to understand.

The matching activity engages all students even those who are reluctant / shy. Dr Liz also shared about the treasure hunt activity that is good for withdrawal sessions as it becomes an interactive game catered to a single student.

Explicit teaching using different steps for complex topics such as teaching prefix. Important to ensure that it is simple and clear! Repeating it thrice will stick it into our heads!

Introducing goals and the importance of learning the subject will help students to ensure why we learn the topic and that they are aligned with the teacher (WALT/ WILF).

Mangai and Rozi had goodie bags for us at the end of the lesson! SO sweet! Their activity is great and con be translated into individual sessions too! Thank you!

Alethea and Tian Li, I love how the steps were reinforced! Its stuck in my head now!

The use of activity is crucial in recapping and previewing of our lessons. The activities were interesting and caters to the different kind of lessons to be taught. The different modes of presentation are also important for our students to try out.

I learnt a lot during the phonograms activity. Love love love how our friends are so creative with their way of teaching! Good job TG1!
