I found the traditional “big 5” does not work unless you take a back door approach...make sense?

you are correct! it is speech and language!

See it now.

Do your students need more language comprehension or word recognition?

Welcome!

new to Alaska. word recognition.

Welcome Emily and thank you for coming to AK!

Thanks!

Starting my second year in AK as an AmeriCorps! We discussed our students (pre k and k) struggled most with letter identification and noticing individual sounds in words

https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/Docs/PracticeGuide/wwc_foundationalreading_040717.pdf

My students really struggled with those words

You can find most these resources at https://aklearns.org/resources/

Tumblebooks through ASL has that

If your library has access to something like Tumblebooks, they have a lot of read along books

getepic.com

epic

Epic

The Wisdom is in the room. If you have other ideas, please share with Lauren!

Tumblebooks- through state library too

It’s so simple, but as a first year teacher, when I started using sentence stems it was a game-changer

We used to had ELD

I love sentence stems!

..to do...I meant

Visual support is so important…like Lauren’s question pointed out

What are your strategies for teaching language?

Thanks Kelley. I’m still pondering that social distance, in-person turn and talk. Anyone have ideas or strategies you’re using?

@Jeff: I heard a teacher share that she has students in 1st grade “turn and talk” to their stuffed animal. I thought that was a great idea.

Nice!

Jamboard is great and have also seen Ss writing on whiteboards and holding up to screen

they use their whiteboards to write

as well as in Nearpod

we also use Seesaw

Can’t assume there is always an available adult present

RATZkids for reading as well as Epic

I also use physical white boards! They have the lines for young writers on them

2 screens will do in a zoom , one screen for the student and one for the paper while the student is writing

Yay to manipulatives!

Letter tiles

Here are some links to word work mats online

For Title schools this would be a great purchase!

Thanks for sharing Emily

Agreed @Bernie. I’ve been in some meetings with district folks looking for ways to spend Title money. Advocate if you don’t have manipulative for your kiddos!

Heggerty Phonemic Awareness is a GREAT curriculum for teaching PA and the hand motions are great! Equipped for Reading Success is great for older kids.

Thanks Kelley

Thank you for making that clear

Magnetic letters are another possible idea for Title funds.

Resources from today and future webinars will be posted within 48 hours to https://aklearns.org/teaching-early-literacy-remotely/

How realistic to use small groups?

Do you have access / can you use maniuplatives?

Delivered manipulative yesterday

manipultives- easy, getting into small group is difficult

I’ve been using small group breakout rooms

Small groups would be a viable solution.

small groups

We are doing small groups for PA/Phonics. We did give out manipulatives.

small groups in. readout rooms, manipulative a sent in

I have a very small class size so I can use small groups easily and they are pretty good at picking up materials from the school

manipulatives sent in a monthly box

Last spring we were able to deliver manipulatives: whiteboards, letter tiles, packets of fluency materials.

sentence strips, white boards

we send home learning bundles every 2 weeks so we can get things home that way

we made white boards with white paper in sheet protectors.

Any strategies of advice for working with students with special needs? Especially those struggling with attention?

Amy Jo shared a fidget with me to help me focus! They’re great :)

Use of visuals / play songs / The use total physical response

Helps to find a way to apply it to their interests as well.

Just like in classroom - therapy balls to sit on, movement, pedal wheel under chair

do you have any ideas to replace the sand tray for distance?

Zoom background can be change it helps :) to get their attention :)

Send them cheap sandpaper to write on with crayon

paint in a ziplock bag. Tape over the top.

Double bag salt and draw on.

Hair gel in Ziploc, tape the opening.

Sky write with a scarf in your hand

How are you teaching phonics remotely (or how would you if you had to shift to that environment?)

What are you currently doing o teach phonics remotely?
