Using songs as a strategy to teach phonic is integral to help children to remember every phoneme, a highly approach with whole-body actions and lots of games to aid learning. This is a multi-sensory resource with kin-aesthetic, auditory and visual activities that reinforce skills through a variety of learning styles making it ideal for children with English as a second language. It brings phonics to life with a fresh, lively, and hands-on approach to teaching phonics with engaging and interactive activities.]]> 2019-08-18 07:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375220029 shashamickey https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375222085 This article provides useful information for parents and educarers to assist them in teaching children vocabulary.

Many games in relation to reading such as rhyming, story, vocabulary, etc can be found in there. This means that children can learn through play using this 'high quality' resource. Research has shown that PBS KIDS’ cross-platform content helps increase children’s literacy scores, improves their school readiness and fosters interest in learning (KET Education, 2016). PBS KIDS also increases parent and teacher engagement in supporting children’s learning. ]]> 2019-08-18 08:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375223497 trivientang https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375225484 Children can begin reading within three to six months using the phonics method. Phonics is a method of teaching reading whereby the letters of the alphabet and their sounds will be taught to the children first. Next, they are taught to blend the sounds phonetically to form words, and then to naturally build vocabulary, and increase fluency and comprehension. 

According to Nurturing Early Learners Framework (2019), it is important as it is

• Crucial for the development of children's thinking and learning
• Important for making meaning from interactions with peers, adults and texts
• Allows for expression of needs, feelings, thoughts and ideas
• Builds confidence and contributes to personal growth

Through practice, it provides confidence to children in sounding the words out as well as expose them to a wide variety of comprehension towards different forms of word especially in English Language. ]]> 2019-08-18 14:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375235799 shashamickey https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375235860 2019-08-18 14:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375235860 shashamickey https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375237263 2019-08-18 14:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375237263 trivientang https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375240425 2019-08-18 15:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375240425 trivientang https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375245601 2019-08-18 16:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375245601 trivientang https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375251238 Phonic Cup Game in a School Context]]> 2019-08-18 17:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375251238 trivientang https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375251727 Montessori refers to a mode of education and learning which was developed by Maria Montessori in the year 1897. This learning approach focuses on each child’s independence and within reasonable limits, provides an acceptable degree of freedom. A key recommendation for phonics in Montessori school context is to have a classroom of mixed age and mixed sex children with learning encouraged and directed rather than instructed by a trained Montessori teacher. Learning is achieved through the natural process of discovery rather than instruction. This educational environment favors an independent approach and children are encouraged to be independent, be able to do things for themselves which includes freedom of movement for the children in a structured learning environment.]]> 2019-08-18 18:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375251727 shashamickey https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375319233 This video shows hands on experience on the games to learn vocabulary in a fun and enriching manner.

Comprehension have 2 components to it, It is both the understanding and the interpretation of the subject matter. As beginners of any language, kids are bound to succumb to fear due to unfamiliarity. In order for them to understand and give meaning to the language, they have no choice but to practice speaking. This is where phonics is used as a stepping stone to aid them in their journey in mastering the language and giving them confidence through comprehension.

"Reading comprehension is a complex meaning- making process that needs explicit and intentional teaching involved that involve children's knowledge of syntax and vocabulary. However, it is also evident that teachers can teach children comprehend through play based activities if carefully chosen and taught. It is wrong to assume that children learn to comprehend by merely listening to stories read aloud" (Fellowes and Oakley, 2014, p.295).]]> 2019-08-19 05:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375323122 trivientang https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375323364 This document discloses the important facts about teaching comprehension intentionally, how to allow children to build a good habit of reading texts with a purpose, and ways to interact with the text such that it is in a more meaningful manner. In line with the Early Years Development Framework (2011), the program, environment and curriculum should be flexible to meet the needs of young children. It also intentionally promotes children’s development through positive interactions and building warm and nurturing relationships. In addition, materials and resources should be safe, available and easily accessible to children as well.   ]]> 2019-08-19 05:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375323364 https://padlet.com/trivientang/r0s13ptsblyo/wish/375323501 Definition: the body of words used in a particular language

Methods such as informal and formal approaches. It discusses the pros in using technology (e books and texts) to teach vocabulary in a classroom as well as some cons to take note of.

Sight words are "commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorise as a whole or by ‘sight,’ so that they can automatically recognise these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode."

Decoding (reading) and encoding (writing) require a number of phonics-related skills and each of the following should be assessed:

- Phonological and phonemic awareness
- Letter (grapheme) – sound (phoneme) correspondences (GPCs)
- Blending of sounds (oral and written)
- Segmenting of words (oral and written)

One type involves a student reading a passage that is at an appropriate level for the student, and then having the student answer factual questions about the text. A second type involves a student answering inferential questions about implied information in the text. A third type involves a student filling in missing words from a passage. A fourth type is to have a student retell the story in their own words (Fuchs & Fuchs, 1992; Wren 2004). To summarize, we can use literal, interpretive and inferential comprehension questions, retelling method, as well as Bloom's questions to assist in the assessing process.
