24 ✶ ★ ✦ ✶ ✶ ✦ • ✶ ✦ • • Phonemic Awareness Isolate Initial Phonemes Use Phonemic Awareness Routine 1. Hold up the picture side of Picture Card coat. Say: • This is a coat. Say the word with me: coat. • Listen carefully as I say the word again: coat. • The first sound in coat is /k/. Say it with me: /k/. • What is the first sound in coat? (/k/) Have children practice identifying initial sounds. Show Picture Cards for one-syllable words such as ball, fish, fox, horse. Say each word and have children identify the initial sound. If children make a mistake, say the word again while emphasizing the initial sound or repeat the modeling above. ✦ SCAFFOLD Articulation Children may have difficulty hearing and correctly pronouncing the individual sounds. The most common /k/ sound articulation error is pronouncing /k/ as /t/. Another common mistake is pronouncing the sound /f/ as /b/. Guide children to correctly articulate the initial sounds in the words, focusing on the position of the lips, teeth, and tongue. Articulation Scripts are available in the front of the Teachers' Guide. Phonics Learn the Song A Z Vocabulary Support the language in the song. Show Picture Card cap and the picture of the fan on Sound-Spelling Card f. Use gestures such as wiping your brow and fanning your face to show the meaning of hot. Teach children the song. Play the song audio. Then teach children the movements to the song and play it again, inviting children to sing and move. Concepts of Print Word Boundaries Ask children to look at Worktext Page 14. Explain that this is the song they just sang, but in writing. Ask questions such as: • Who can point to the title? How do you know it’s the title? (The title is in larger/darker letters; it’s at the top of the page.) • How do you know when one word ends and another begins? (There is a space between words.) Have children track the print as you choral read the song.
