This a great introduction to the idea that all words are made up of smaller parts. For a child with exceptional abilities, challenge them to clap out the actual phonemes. This means clapping three times for the word cat!]]> 2022-12-13 19:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419723441 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419778216 Rhyming is one of the most common activities for teaching phonemic awareness as recognizing rhymes is a basic level of phonemic awareness (WGBH Educational Foundation, 2014). Challenge gifted students by asking if they can find other rhyme pairs that begin with the first parts of the words instead of the rhyming parts, for example, slow, go, and slate, gate.]]> 2022-12-13 20:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419778216 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419791497 https://brightlittleowl.com/phonemic-awareness/
Parents can play "I Spy" with their children where, for example, they ask their child to spy an object starting with a "t" sound. The important part is the make the phonemic sound and not the actual letter sound. This activity works with children with and without exceptionalities as the difficulty can be easily scaled by including phonemes that can be represented by more than one letter or letter group, such as "f" and "ph."]]> 2022-12-13 21:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419791497 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419818505 This simple activity just involves giving the students worksheets with a word bank featuring words with a specific sound (like "ar" or "oo") and a grid of pictures representing those words and having the children match them. For gifted students, it can be as easy as adding word with multiple syllables.]]> 2022-12-13 21:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419818505 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419826120 Have students search newspapers and magazines for objects that contain the sound spoken out loud or written on the board.

For this activity, a parent can read to their child but purposely mess up some of the syllables of the words and wait for the child to correct them. For gifted readers, try books with bigger, more complex words.

Reading to a child and then having the child repeat the sentence back as they emulate your speed and rhythm is an easy to encourage fluency. To differentiate, vary your speed and consider pointing to words as you go. Also consider reading, and having the child repeat back, longer passages from the text. Oral modeling has a positive effect on children's fluency (Al Otaiba et al., 2009). This is adaptable activity that can help children of all abilities develop fluency as works with all types of learning styles.]]> 2022-12-13 23:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419875163 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419882138 https://www.readingrockets.org/reading-101-guide-parents/first-grade/vocabulary-activities-your-first-grader
Purposely use unfamiliar words with your child, then give the definition when the child asks for it. Continue to use the words No matter the level your child is at currently, there will always be words with which they are unfamiliar. Many students of socioeconomic suffer from small vocabularies not because of ability, but because of the limited vocabularies of those around them (Florit et al., 2021). By using a more expansive vocabulary in front of a child, you can expand their vocabulary as much as you believe they can handle.]]> 2022-12-13 23:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419882138 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419888646 Read a story to the class, but before reading, ask the students a question that they will only be able to answer if they pay full attention to the story. To differentiate, ask high-ability children two questions before the story.

When a student catches it, they must recall whatever is written on the side/section of the ball they caught. Differentiation techniques include reading out the parts, instead of bouncing the ball, having a partner catch the ball, and having a high-ability student recall two sections of the ball.]]> 2022-12-14 00:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419889397 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419889570 https://www.readingrockets.org/reading-101-guide-parents/kindergarten/comprehension-activities-your-kindergartner
Read your child a story and pause at points to ask the child to close their eyes and imagine themselves in the story. Ask them to describe sights, sounds, and smells. Ask them why and/or how they are describing some of their senses this way. As this activity does not put cognitive pressure on the child, a child with or without exceptionality should be able to draw just on the words they have heard to make a mental note. With guidance, the child will develop a stronger sense of interpretation they can take with them to new stories.]]> 2022-12-14 00:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2419889570 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025828 2022-12-14 19:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025828 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025881 2022-12-14 19:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025881 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025928 2022-12-14 19:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025928 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025986 2022-12-14 19:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421025986 djackson1281 https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421032775 2022-12-14 19:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson1281/wn6ko0o1fpnzjy85/wish/2421032775
