Description
This webinar is the first in a 3-part series hosted by IDA Ontario. In this webinar, Emily Moorhead describes and demonstrates playful phonological and phonemic awareness tasks that move children along a developmental continuum and form a strong oral language foundation for reading. She pays particular attention to the often missed pieces of phonemic awareness and models ways to develop “diagnostic ears,” to differentiate tasks for a range of abilities within a kindergarten classroom setting. She discusses specific strategies and concrete materials for connecting phonological awareness and print.
