MAKING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL STUDENTS. by Kelly Cantrell

Linguistic / Verbal

Students create their own digital stories using a simple storytelling platform. They can write their own sentences, using phonics and vocabulary from their literacy lessons, and include images. The activity helps reinforce their understanding of letter-sound relationships, sequencing, and comprehension.

This activity should be scaffolded to meet the level of all students through graphic organizers, anchor charts, use of images, editing checklists, first-then charts, vocabulary cards/images, and any additional accommodations that are needed to support students in accordance to their individual needs.

Students will use a digital platform to create word sorting activities, where they categorize words based on phonics patterns, syllable types, or vowel sounds. They can use technology to create drag-and-drop activities for their peers to practice. (This can include the interactive activities that are found within the HMH platform. They must be assigned and pushed out to students through the teachers account.)

This activity should be scaffolded to meet the level of students through anchor charts/visual references and the use of any additional accommodations that are needed to support students in accordance to their individual needs.

Visual / Spatial

Students create phonics-based puzzles by cutting out letters or syllables and then arranging them to form words. They can take photos of their puzzles or create digital ones using apps like Jigsaw Planet, where their classmates need to assemble the puzzle correctly.

This activity should be scaffolded to meet the level of all students through anchor charts/visual references, a check list of letters and syllables, and any additional accommodations that are needed to support student sin accordance to their individual needs.

Interpersonal

Students collaborate in small groups to build a word wall, categorizing words based on shared phonics or spelling patterns. Using Jamboard or Padlet, they can post their words digitally and engage in peer discussions about why words fit into certain categories.

This activity should be scaffolded to meet the level of all students through graphic organizers, checklists, prompting/cueing, visual communication aids, anchor charts, and any additional accommodations that are needed to support students in accordance to their individual needs.

Intrapersonal

Each student keeps a digital word journal where they record new words they’ve learned, along with definitions, pictures, and a sentence. They can reflect on their understanding of words and track their literacy growth over time.

This activity should be scaffolded to meet the level of all students through the use of modeling, prompting, cueing, support of clarifying definitions into student friendly language, checklists, and any additional accommodations that are needed to support students in accordance to their individual needs.

Bodily / Kinesthetic

kjacks9 — 2025-02-16 03:51:55 UTC

Students can create phonics movements to represent different letter sounds (e.g., jumping for the "j" sound, stretching for the "s" sound). They record videos of themselves performing these movements, which they share with classmates on a platform like Flipgrid.

This activity should be scaffolded to meet the level of all students through providing a checklist of steps to follow, prompting/modeling of the assigned letter sounds, and any additional accommodations that are needed to support students in accordance to their individual needs.

Musical / Rythmic

kjacks9 — 2025-02-16 03:52:11 UTC

Students compose simple songs or chants that incorporate words with specific phonics patterns (e.g., short vowels, digraphs). They can use technology like GarageBand or online platforms to record their songs with melodies that match the sounds they are learning.

This activity should be scaffolded to provide a checklist, sentence starters, graphic organizers, anchor charts/visual reminders, prompting/cueing, and any additional accommodations that are needed to support students in accordance to their individual needs.

Natural

Students go on a "sound walk" around the school or playground, recording the different sounds they hear (like birds chirping, leaves rustling, etc.). They then match these sounds to words that share similar phonetic sounds. Students can create videos with Chatterpix to explain their matches.

This activity should be scaffolded to meet the level of all students through the use of a checklist, limited matching options, prompting, cueing, graphic organizer before completing on Chatterpix, and any additional accommodations that are needed to support students in accordance to their individual needs.
