letter sounds. The video also shows the use of another pillar of reading, phonemic awareness. During the video the teacher asks the students to identify all the words on the chart that end in the letter “Y” that have the long E sound or long I sound. By asking the students to identify these sounds they have to pull the word apart and break it down into phonemes. We have talked a lot about phonics and phonemic awareness so far in class. One of the things…
