Shifting the Balance by Jennifer Green https://padlet.com/user_1412170508/StB Which high-leverage instructional routines for blending, segmenting, and word building are you most comfortable with? Which do you want to practice or explore further? en-us 2020-03-03 16:54:35 UTC 2023-04-13 15:37:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4a1.png I am comfortable with breaking words into individual phonemes in my small group. We use the pound and tap method to determine number of syllables and phonemes in a word. I follow the strategies that the teachers utilize so that we are aligned. This also reinforces the strategies that the students use, making it familiar and automatic over time. https://padlet.com/user_1412170508/StB/wish/2553365574 2023-04-13 15:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412170508/StB/wish/2553365574 Some ESOL students may lack certain phonemes/the phonemes in English do not exist in their home language. How is this best addressed? I have spoken to a SLP at our school for one particular student. She did send me videos to help the student enunciate particular phonemes. I shared these with her parents. How else can I best support this student? https://padlet.com/user_1412170508/StB/wish/2553371942 2023-04-13 15:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412170508/StB/wish/2553371942
