One of my favourite authors growing up was Robert Munsch. His books always had the class engaged. Teachers and kids enjoy his writing style. Here is his website with a list of all his books. The Official Website of Robert Munsch ⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩ https://t.co/X9kqfQVkOC

This literacy activity is a build the word centre. It encourages students to recognize their letters and build sight words with them. Kindergarten can build the word and then write it down. @PJLanguageArts

Literacy in kindergarten is essential. It serves as the foundation for all future learning. In kindergarten, children learn to read and write, which helps them develop their language skills, vocabulary, and comprehension. 📕🖍️@PJLanguageArts

Pairing up rhyming words! This activity encourages students to sound out each word and match it to its rhyme. Some have the same ending and some don’t. Therefore practice makes progress! @PJLanguageArts

Kindergarten students develop their phonemic understanding by engaging in daily literacy centres. #Keeler #WeAreCBE #literacy

Bringing learning outside! This sight word puddle jump is a great outdoor activity when teaching literacy. Students in kindergarten can splash onto a familiar sight word and say it out loud. @PJLanguageArts

[Ms. Bailey @EducatorBailey]

Making sounding out fun! I love the idea of this activity. Building words and slowly sounding them out with chips and a magnet. Kindergarteners can combine first, middle, and last sound to complete the word. This is interactive and engaging. @PJLanguageArts

I recommend listening to this podcast. In this episode Dr Brown speaks on teaching literacy to kindergarten as she focuses on phonological awareness. Her work focuses on beginning reading, word recognition, and comprehension. ⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩ https://t.co/vV4TfUvs71

How cute is this seashell word activity? Kindergarteners can trace their finger through the sand to spell each word on the seashell. 🐚 This activity helps students memorize each letter to form common sight words. @PJLanguageArts

During my JK/SK placement, I had a student that had an interest in cars. When practicing printing and tracing we would pretend their finger or the pencil was a car to encourage participation. This activity takes that a step further using small cars to trace. @PJLanguageArts

[Ms. Bailey @EducatorBailey]

This fun literacy centre uses nets and ping pong balls to create words from the same word families. Students can scoop up a letter and read out the letter combined with its ending. This enhances students memory of different word families. @PJLanguageArts

[Ms. Bailey @EducatorBailey]

Check this word recognition activity out! Students can stack words and then sound them out. This activity is useful for practicing sight words with irregular spelling. @PJLanguageArts

Some students learn better with tactile materials. In this activity, students can touch the play-doh as they sound out the first, middle, and last sound of each word. @PJLanguageArts #Kindergarten

One approach I really find interest in is the Reggio-Emilia approach. Check out this resource that gives literacy provocation ideas for a kindergarten class. ⁦@PJLanguageArts⁩ Simple Literacy Provocations - Fairy Dust Teaching https://t.co/1JO4JeX7cI
