- PRE WRITING PRACTICE WITH SAND
Writing shapes and letters with their fingers is very important to help kids understand how letters are built as well as getting used to directionality.
You can get the pre-writing cards here.
The letter cards here.
- LETTER HUNT
Using rice trays and list of words kids explore finding letters and placing them on the mats. We help them be aware of letters in words.
- RHYMING MATS
Working on rhyming is vital in kindergarten to help kids get a good phonological awareness. When older kids have problems reading or writing they may as well have problems with rhyming.
- BEGINNING SOUNDS: SOUND MONSTER AND DOMINOS
When we start working on phonological awareness beginning sounds are a great way to start.
We usually do it with the sound monster: kids feed him with the beginning sound we are working on. Later on they have to find the sound in any part of the word.
- SEGMENTING CVC WORDS
The ability to segment words is crucial in order to be able to read and write. We star by segmenting syllables, then onset and rhymes and finally kids can be ready to segment sound by sound.

We work segmenting through elkonin boxes, first by jumping hoops and later on using sound mats.
- WRITING.
In the kinder 4 class, we star writing as soon as they want to, our intention is helping them see that they are capable of writing amd that writing is communication.
In the morning routines everybody segments words for the helper to write on the board.
On monday, if they want to we help them write about their weekend.
