Phonological awareness refers to the ability to mentally manipulate words, syllables and sounds in spoken language (Goldsworthy, 2010). The phonological aspects of a language include intonation, stress and timing as well as attending to words, syllabus and phonemes ( Hill, 2006). The resources here are targeting teachers and parents who can use them to guide and teach children to acquire understanding of how sounds of spoken language works. ]]> 2018-09-06 17:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278564923 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278651971 This pin offers a rhyming game which allow children to learn about rhyming words in a interesting and fun way. The board game has a rhyming picture pair on each space. Children can take turns moving around the board and naming the rhyming pictures when they landed on a space. It helps children to become more aware of rhyming words and learn how to construct them, expanding their vocabulary. This can be played with parents and siblings at home. Holdaway (1979) states that homes provide a setting where interaction between adults and children are socially, emotionally and intellectually conducive to literacy and growth. Also, Morrow (1989) identifies the five vehicles for early literacy development which includes home, language, reading, writing and school environment. ]]> 2018-09-06 20:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278651971 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278654151 This pin shows a silly picture book titled 'Down by the Bay' by Raffi, which uses exaggerated, no sense rhyme to make into a song. The insertion lyrics of the song follow a kind of variation of the question "Did you ever see a _____, _____ing a _____?", with rhyming words such as goose and moose. The rhyme will motivate children to focus more on the word sounds. Rhyming is an important phonological awareness skill. These rhyming words become the building blocks that children will build upon as they learn to decode words, build fluency and eventually become solid, independent readers.

This is link to Marie Clay's Emergent Literacy where children begin to understand the function of reading and develop a positive attitude towards it through listening to books.]]> 2018-09-06 21:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278654151 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278674388 The pin suggest a outdoor phonics activity where children will pick up a balloon and bring to a letter to make into a word. If it is correct, they can throw the water balloon to the letter to burst it. This encourages children practice blending onset-rime words without the use of worksheet and allow children to use prior knowledge and apply them to build new ones in the process. Children also get to work together to help each other check if their answer is correct. According to social constructionist theory, Dewy(1966) emphasis that early childhood learning is build around the interest of the child and learn best through play because of social interaction. Hence, this activity the children actively seeks their own answers and leads to literacy and language development. ]]> 2018-09-06 23:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278674388 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278681616 This pin allows children to engage in a hands-on phonemic awareness activity where children will roll the playdough into balls and place basic consonant-vowel-consonant letter cards on top separately. The children will learn the different individual letter sounds by moving the playdough balls apart and blending all the sounds together by moving the balls closer. For instance 'c', 'a', 't' and putting them together to make 'cat'. This activity also allows children to do phoneme manipulation and sound word discrimination by changing 'cat' to 'bat', identify with word or sound is same or different. The ability to hear the sounds in words and to isolate the sounds from one another can help a child become a reader. Even before he learns the letters of the alphabet, a child can say the sounds in his language. When he can hear the sounds in a word and tell where the sounds occur in the word, he is developing pre-reading skills. According to Gillon (2017), research has shown that a child’s awareness of the sounds of spoken words is a strong predictor of his or her later success in learning to read.]]> 2018-09-07 00:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278681616 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278688793 This pins is a list of apps for phonological awareness. Such multimodalilty approach allow parents and educators to enhance the classroom experience, allowing creativity and flexibility between teachers and learner's interactions as well as satisfy all learning styles and cognitive differences, as well as to achieve individual and general aims and objectives. However, this can be a controversial resource as the issues concerning are the impact of our multidisciplinary twenty-first century, the evolution of communication within and outside of the classroom, interaction including and consciously considering modes employed and how these affect learning and the cognitive process of language acquisition (Marchetti & Cullen, 2009)]]> 2018-09-07 00:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278688793 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278695438 This pins shows a youtube video demonstrates an effectively way to teach children how to count and segment syllabus using fingers and picture word cards instead of clapping. This helps children who cannot multi-task to count while clap to be able to do the counting more easily. Becoming aware of the syllabus in words helps children to write and read compound words like birthday and words with several syllabus such as umbrella (Hill, 2006). In addition, this resource is supported by visual literacy theory where children make meaning of the word from the image and such visuals can enhance and accelerate classroom instructions for using images to build skills to support reading and making meaning of text.

Each characters have their own songs that reinforce alliteration such as 'Annie Apple, she says 'a...'. She belongs to Mr. A'.  In addition, the song allows children to learn the letter sounds too. Awareness of similar sounds in alliteration sentence, as at the beginning of words such as annie and apple, is vital for learning the sound-and-letter correspondence of initial letters in phonics (Hill, 2006). Phonemic awareness is the insight that every spoken word can be conceived of as a sequence of phonemes, hence it is the key to understand the logic pf alphabetic principle and thus to learn ability of phonics and reading (Hill, 2006). Such media literacy of using media such as youtube videos allows parents and educators to use media wisely and effectively.]]> 2018-09-07 02:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278701222 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278714137 This pin allows children and parents to go on an outdoor scavenger hunt together to search for answers to clues given on the paper list. Each item required the children to think about words that rhyme, begin or end with a certain sound, contain a certain number of syllables, or identify letters found in the environment.  As the family looks for objects beginning with certain letters or rhyming with other words, this activity will strengthen the child's observation skills while building literacy. This is supported by Vygotsky's social constructionist  theory where children actively construct knowledge and involved in hands-experiences and such learning will lead to literacy development. Also, adults play important role to scaffold and facilitate children's learning in the literacy walk. ]]> 2018-09-07 03:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278714137 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278719439 This pin shows the different ways and methods of learning word families such as -op, -at and -ip. According to research, another strategy that has proven to be helpful for many children is the teaching of phonograms. We often refer to these as “word families” because the onset (beginning sound of the word) can be changed to produce a family of words that all rhyme.  This allows children to begin grouping sets of letters within a word to make it more easily recognizable the next time that she sees the same chunk.]]> 2018-09-07 04:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278719439 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278722781 This pin offers a list of books that/ rhymes. The best way to get children expose to rhymes is through books and songs. It teaches them how language works by noticing how the sound and letter works. According to Teale (1982) emergent literacy theory, he states that literacy is as a result of children's involvement in reading activities by literate adults. Hence, literacy is develop in the early years of a child's life and it is a continuous building of knowledge on oral language which will contribute to reading and writing. ]]> 2018-09-07 04:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278722781 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278763170 2018-09-07 08:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278763170 agnestoh94 https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278772866 2018-09-07 09:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/agnestoh94/8k6t6qzflpl/wish/278772866
