  5. Letter Sounds • Don’t forget the hand signs! • You can have contests to see who can do the vowels fastest. • Later your students will spell with hand signs! It’s more fun! • Another good phonics program from England: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCjJYB07aSU

  6. On Sets and Rimes • Everyone knows what rhyming words are! • The first letter or letters are called the onset • While the part that repeats is called the rime.

  7. Onsets and Rimes • Using onsets and rimes is one of the fastest approaches to teaching reading. • Start with easy words like at and an. • Then add words that rhyme with it like bat, etc. • Students will understand that if they can recognize “at”, they can say and recognize bat, etc.
