The wind blew through the crew
when they threw Blue,the bird Shrew mooed
but no one had a clue where the moo came from.

Write a story or journal from the perspective of characters with no real role in the story and show us what they see and think from their perspective.
Get up in front of class or in a fishbowl and be whatever character the class calls out and do whatever they direct. Have fun with it.

Fun with phonics is a unique program this teaches to all learning styles. The active learners that learns by doing as we paint, use play doh, or play a game, The student that is engaged in the lesson plan by seeing as we jump on the letters or the student that needs to hear who sings to the music. Struggling readers many times need to learn visually or many times need to hear the concepts through music. A catchy tune would be a great way for them to remember the rule. To me children are the heart of America. It is through them that we laugh, that we are inspired by their imagination. They will be leaders of tomorrow and they need the tools of reading and writing to succeed.
What causes dyslexia and reading problems? Three main reasons are ineffective reading instruction: auditory perception difficulties :Vision perception and language processing difficulties. Over 180 research studies have proven that phonics is the best way to teach all students. It has also been proven that is the only way to teach students with disabilities and people with dyslexia. Today 8o% of the schools use whole language or a cursory method along with the whole language. While many can learn to read using whole word method it is not the best. Which is better knowing 44 sounds as to opposed to memorizing 1 million words. That is how many words there are in the English language. Reading and writing is just talking on paper . Children learned to talk by imitation sounds and combing those sounds to make words. Our brains are programmed to learn in this fashion.
If your child displays one of more of the following symptoms it is important to not wait but to be proactive to get the help they need.
Below grade level reading achievement
Fatigue after reading only a short while
Poor Reading skills
Children with auditory discrimination problems may have had chronic ear infections or been born with this disability. Correction involves over teaching the formation of the sounds used in speaking and reading.
Children who have visual perception problems have trouble matching the word image with another previously stored image in their brain. Exercises that help the brain see will help tremendously in helping this group learn to read better.
Language development problems can contribute to poor listening, reading along with poor written and verbal expression. Learning word attack skills along with phonics improves their reading ability.
