This activity helped children develop their phonemic awareness by having the students identify the ending sounds of certain objects that they saw. This aids students in learning the concept of rhyme, use playful experimentation with oral language, and focus on both reading and spelling. The kids had a lot of fun doing the activity. The strategy seemed very purposeful, and the kids seemed very engaged. The only thing I saw where some kids did not know what the objects were, so they needed help figuring that out.

The teacher is assessing the student's phonemic awareness by asking her to identify the first letter she hears when the teacher says a certain word. The teacher also separated a word out and asked the student to put it together and tell her what word she is making. Overall, the students have strong phonemic awareness because she was able to answer all the questions correctly and was aware of what the beginning sounds of a word were and what word that a blend of letters made.

This activity is helpful for teaching phonics because it gives students the opportunity to learn about the spelling of certain words. It also helps students identify the beginning sounds of words. The teacher is very patient with the students, and she also uses vocal encouragement for students that participate. This helps student respond energetically and more focused on what is being taught.

The activity helps children develop phonemic awareness because they are sorting objects with short words into the correct category based on the ending of the word. They are having to repeat the word and sound it out slowly, really hearing the ending of the word, to be able to sort it correctly. They are learning the correct rimes for each word by saying it correctly, hearing it correctly, and being able to read it on each category.

They must learn to be able to manipulate these sounds that we use so that they can recognize them and understand the langauge.

Ms. Applegate is teaching a phonemic awareness strategy, sound isolation, to Yaseena. Ms. Applegate is having Yaseena separate the different sounds of a word and count them on her finger before she writes them down. This strategy helps Yaseena focus on each sound and helps her develop her writing skills. Yaseena seems eager to learn and participate; she also bounces back and doesn't lose confidence after she makes a mistake.

This teacher's activity is beneficial for teaching phonics because it's helping the students understand word families. They are learning that some words have a similar structure, such as "let" and "met." Changing the beginning of these words can change their meaning completely. The teacher uses the rime "et" and asks students for a beginning letter because it helps them understand sound-letter relationship/patterns in words. The teacher is doing a great job at keeping the students engaged and making sure to have different students answer questions. She also gives clear instructions and makes sure to repeat them. The children are responding well; they seem to understand the activity and are engaged in the conversation.

It's also great for pronunciation because they are learning how to hear each individual sound. They are slowing down and learning about the words, which helps them read or speak them. This skill also improves confidence because they are fully understanding how words sound and come together, so they aren't feeling lost or guessing.

This activity helped the students develop their phonemic awareness by having them identify the ending sounds of several different objects. Each of them had a container with an assigned ending sound. The had to put the objects with the matching ending sound into their container. The kids seemed to enjoy identifying the different objects.

Ms.Applegate is teaching Yaseena a phonemic awareness strategy called sound isolation. Ms.Applegate gives Yaseena a word, then Yaseena sounds it out and identifies what letters make those sounds. Yaseena is responding well to the lesson. She seemed excited to participate and did very well. When she made a mistake, she quickly fixed it.

The teacher is assessing the students phonemic awareness skills by having her identify the first sound she hears in a given word. The teacher assessed phonemic awareness skills by sperating sounds in a word and having the student put them together and identify the word. The students struggled with the first question but overall had good phonemic awareness skills as she did excellent with the rest of the questions.

The student does have good dynamic awareness improves that by being able to answer the questions correctly, say the sounds correctly, as well as the words correctly.

I find it very important for multilingual children to develop phonemic awareness skills because it allows them to fully hear the sounds of the words, and since English varies from other languages in how letters sound and how specific combinations sounds, its very helpful to break it down for those who may be used to other sounds from other languages they know.

The teacher assesses the student by asking that the first sound of the word. This can be helpful especially for young learners to identify starting sounds and connect specific letters with sounds. I think this assessment is fait to see how well the student can pick up on individual sounds. I would consider the student to have strong phonemic skills, I think the places she struggled were age appropriate to be still learning.

I really thought this activity was helpful because it was engaging and allowed students to see connections between words and words that are similar. By better understanding the structure of words and the way different letters sound when put together is a great lesson for children this age. The teacher does a good job at keeping the students engaged and the students look excited to learn.
