Foundational Reading Lesson - Review, Decoding Words, Kindergarten
In this engaging lesson titled "Review" designed specifically for Kindergarten students, learners will embark on an exciting journey to enhance their decoding skills, focusing on the vital aspects of accuracy and fluency. The chapter on Decoding Words within the Accuracy and Fluency unit will offer a foundational platform for students to explore and master the art of reading through two immersive activities: the Make a New Word Worksheet and the Twin Onset Worksheet.
Through the Make a New Word Worksheet, students will be introduced to the concept of manipulating phonemes to create new words. This activity will not only reinforce their understanding of letter sounds but also encourage them to experiment with these sounds, thereby improving their ability to decode unfamiliar words. Meanwhile, the Twin Onset Worksheet is designed to strengthen students' knowledge of onset sounds. By identifying and matching words with the same onset sounds, learners will develop a keen ear for phonetic patterns, a critical skill for reading fluency.
Learning these skills is crucial at the Kindergarten level as it lays the groundwork for successful reading and writing.
