Onset and Rimes

I've been continuing to listen to the International Reading Association's podcasts. The information they discuss are research based classroom tested strategies. One strategy discusssed today is daily shared reading. This strategy impacts a students ability to use phonics. In addition it reinforces onset and rimes. Going hand in hand with this podcast is a website which I've been introduced - http://freereading.net. This website is filled with ideas relating to these skills: phonological awareness, phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency and writing. Each page will give you detailed information (ie: activity type, grade level, group size, length of activity, materials needed and directions on 'what to do'.) In addition, if flashcards are needed, a link is provided to the flashcards for you to just print off and use. There are also educator contributed activities, teacher tips and more! I hope you check out this site...its incredible!
