👏🏼@ViolaD_HWDSB Primary classrooms enjoyed their virtual author visit with @bsimpson042! It was a fun experience for the students to 👀 & 👂 someone talking "live to them" and answer their Qs! 😍Thank you Mr. Simpson for inspiring our Vipers @ViolaVipersRead @HWDSB!

This is ONE way to use decodable readers! Break up those pages into individual sentences and play musical sentences!
🎶 Musical Sentences 🎶 Wrote the sentences from our @IMSEOG decodable story onto sentence strips as a pre-reading activity. Each time the music stops, students practice reading a new sentence. I couldn’t believe the progress in just a few rounds! @DonnakaSpencer @BCSDKidder

Today (Nov. 13) marks #WorldKindnessDay.🌍💙Connecting with students can be achieved through the magic of books. We reached out to #ONlit's team of expert educators to unveil their top picks for kindness-themed read-aloud texts. Let's spread kindness, one page at a time!📖💫

FDK 7 has been having fun playing our new favourite literacy game by adding letter wands to a game of musical books! Students move around the carpet to music & sit in front of a book when it stops. As they read they look for words that contain their letter. @HWDSB @ViolaD_HWDSB

This is what #SoR looks like!!
A word of the day routine builds #vocabulary & Ss practice their analytic skills w/ #phonemes, #syllables & irregular parts. What’s your word of the day routine?@SoRclassroom #SoR

Singing syllables 🎶
Check out these ss leading the class! 🎶 First I find the vowel, mark them with a V. Then I mark the consonants that are in between. Break them in the middle, so each part is little. Used to be a scary word but now it’s just two syllables! @IMSEOG @Hubbard_School

FDK 7 is having fun creating and decoding words and messages using Lego. Lots of fun and hard work sounding out letters and reading messages. @ViolaD_HWDSB @HWDSB

FDK 7 was so excited to get a letter from their pen pals this week and loved the book @Bellmoore144 recommended so much they couldn't wait to start writing their own book recommendations for their pen pals! @HWDSB @ViolaD_HWDSB

Walked into Mrs. Parker’s Gr1 classroom @avenue_lake to see she and students manipulating phonemes and building words using some large letter tiles on the board. What an awesome activity to build phonetic and phonemic awareness. Manipulating phonemes is a huge part of reading.

Word ladders (also called word chains) is an effective activity that my students enjoy using during literacy centres. This activity supports letter-sound correspondence and reading and spelling skills. @SoRclassroom @qvhwdsb @hwdsb #structuredliteracy #SoR #literacy
