This exposes them to a lot of vivid language that may not be found in books for beginning readers. 

Differentiation: Read aloud may be complicated for some. Providing the child with his or her own visuals while you read and allow them to be in an area that feels calm to them. 
Activity 2: Use rich language when having conversations with your child. Instead of saying, "this soup very hot" you could say, "this soup is extremely hot!" 

Differentiation: You could say both, "this soup is very hot...This soup is extremely hot!" So that the student is hearing both and understanding what the word is that you are using and can be able to put it into context. ]]> 2022-10-26 23:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358113721 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358118266 Activity 1: This activity is called the Alphabet Ball. In this activity the adult calls out a letter and the first child to respond with a word that starts with that letter will get the ball passed to them. Then that child will call out a letter and pass the ball to the first person to call out a word that starts with that letter. Repeat this game until all letters are accounted for. This game is best done outside or in a gym where kiddo's can safely move around! 

Differentiation: Offering your students the sound of the letter, " I am thinking of the letter B....Buh Buh Buh B" could help the child think clearer about what letter they should be attaching to the first letter of the word. 

Activity 2: Mystery Bag! In this activity you will have a bag with three items that start with the same letter. You will give hints to each item until the children can guess what the common letter is amongst them. So for example, ball, bat, bear all have the letter B in common so the answer would be B.  

Differentiation: You could provide your students with visuals in this game. Actually showing them what is in the bag and asking, "what do these words have in common?" ]]> 2022-10-27 00:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358118266 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358121762 Activity 1: Echo Game! In this activity you and your child will read a book together. You will explain to them that they will be copying what you say/ do. Read once sentence in the book at the correct pace and with the correct expressions. Allow your child to copy you to get the general idea of how to read the sentence. 

Differentiation: Reading shorter passages and allowing multiple models before encouraging the child to echo. Possibly even picking a smaller book with less words so that they child feels successful. 

Activity 2: Choral Reading! This is when you and your child read the same passage at the same time. You may need to slow your reading in order for your reader to keep up. Encourage your reader to copy your pace and expression! 

Differentiation: This may be a complicated activity for your student as they may find that hearing your voice while they read, confusing. This activity could be turned into the echo activity should this happen. ]]> 2022-10-27 00:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358121762 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358124884 Activity 1: A great way to increase comprehension in a child is to talk a walk together. While on the walk identify things you see. Encourage your child to do the same. This may trigger something in the child to have them recall certain information or events that they remember. 

Differentiation: giving your student prompts such as, "I see a tree what do you see?" or "I have a tree in my backyard. Do you have a tree in your yard?" "where do you see trees?" 

Activity 2:  This activity is called "I predict..." this is all about your child predicting what they think the book may be about based off of the title, cover page, and pictures. Join them in making predictions to show them that predictions can look differently for each person. 

Differentiation: Providing cues such as, "I see there is a lady bug on this cover page. Do you think this book will be about lady bugs or bumble bees?" So that the child can focus on their prediction rather than identifying what they see on the page. ]]> 2022-10-27 00:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358124884 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358129054 Activity 1: Tongue twisters are a great way to build phonemic awareness in children! Pick a few of your favorites and be silly with them. Even encourage your child to create their own silly tongue twister. 

Differentiation: How can this be differentiated for your kiddo's with exceptionalities? Great question! Creating tongue twisters that are simpler such as "sally sang songs" or "sally sold seashells." You could even break up the tongue twister into different sections until the child is more familiar with the activity. 

Activity 2: Building word families together such as hat, cat, bat, fat, mat, is a great way to expose children to the various sounds their mouths can make. Picking 1 word a day over morning circle and coming up with a word family to go with it. Writing these down and posting them in the classroom for your child to see can help build strong literacy skills! 

Differentiation: How can we differentiate this to meet the needs of children with exceptionalities? Providing options versus having the child come up with the words on their own could be a huge help and differentiation. ]]> 2022-10-27 00:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358129054 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358144516 2022-10-27 00:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358144516 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358145476 2022-10-27 00:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358145476 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358146766 2022-10-27 00:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358146766 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358148143 2022-10-27 00:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358148143 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358149168 2022-10-27 00:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358149168 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358156574 While at home play the "I'm thinking" game. You think of letter in your head but you don't say it aloud. You say, "It sounds like Ball, Bean, Boing, Bounce and it makes the Buh sound" and allow your child to guess what letter you are thinking of. Give them a turn if they want one! This will promote your child's phonic skills by showing them the relationship between different letters and sounds. Whether your child has exceptionalities or not they will be sure to have fun and learn the relationships between letters and sounds! ]]> 2022-10-27 00:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358156574 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358160972 Recalling events is a great way to encourage comprehension in a child's learning. While in the car on the way to school play iSpy a connection. This is a game where you find something you are driving past and you say, " iSpy a connection! I remember I did this once when I was small. I kicked a ball around with some friends and we were on a team. I played Soccer! I see a soccer field." This is a great way to not only build those foundational skills with your child but also their comprehension skills that will allow them to recall on past events. This can be done with a child who has an exceptionality as well. It may need to be adjusted to fit the needs of your child. If language is hard for them to comprehend or express, using less words and more memorable experiences! ]]> 2022-10-27 00:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358160972 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358163600 Clap your words! Clap the syllables in words with your child. This can be done with a vast variety of words. You can do one syllable, two, three, up to as many as your child can comprehend. This is a very flexible activity as far as skill level goes and it is a great way to help your child identify the parts that a word is made up from. ]]> 2022-10-27 00:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358163600 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358166541 Audio books on the way to school are a great way to work with your child on their fluency skills. It also provides them with an example of how to say a certain passage with expression. You can stop the book and ask your child, "how could you say this passage if you were mad, happy, or sad?" This activity is very flexible in skill level. You can demonstrate to your child how to change a passage to have a different meaning with your expression. For example, "the fox jumps over the hill!" can be said, scared, angry, or happy and have a different meaning each time. This is a great way for your child to have fluency modeled to them. ]]> 2022-10-27 00:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358166541 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358170452 Words of the day are a great way to promote new vocabulary words into your child's language "diet." Each day come up with a new word that you and your family attempt to use more frequently than you would on a day that didn't have a new vocabulary word. For example, if our word of the day was ball, we could define it, look at a picture of it, discuss it, and throughout the day point out any balls that we see in our environment. Send your child to school and encourage them to take a mental snapshot of each ball they see or to even rope your teacher in and have her take a picture or write it down for your child. This will get your child excited about vocabulary but will also encourage the use of new words. You may even want to use the vocabulary words that the child is learning at school already. Talk with your teachers to see what words are appropriate for your child to be learning at their specific skillset. ]]> 2022-10-27 00:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358170452 janaejemerson https://padlet.com/janaejemerson/unq1p1ibuiaq240f/wish/2358172583 Vocabulary: Activities for your kindergartener.
