When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking and it says its name. This is something I say over and over again in first grade. Sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn't. But it's so important for students to learn this and many other rules this year to help them become successful readers and writers!
First grade can be challenging for students because they are expected to learn so many words and phonics patterns and rules in just 180 short days. These magnetic letters and boards will be helpful in making learning all these words and patterns more concrete, and fun!
Students will use the letter tiles and white boards to create words we learn in class. They will use them with my guidance, during small group and whole group lessons. Then students will use them to practice on their own during independent work time and center time. Not only will students create words they learn explicitly from me, but they will soon begin to recognize word patterns and create words they learn on their own through word exploration.
