Zoo Phonics I use an established phonics program called Zoo-Phonics to teach the sounds of the alphabet letters. It combines recognizable animals and fun movements to help with remembering each letter sound.
Weekly Themes: Each week a theme is introduced that corresponds to the letter of the week. Letter A is for the beginning sound in the word: Apples. Letter B is for the beginning sound of: Ball, Balloons, Bubbles. In combination with ZooPhonics each child learns their letter and phonic sounds easily while learning exciting and age appropriate subjects. (See the "Theme Schedule" page).
Teacher Created Games and Phonic Toys
Every week (for each new theme and phonic letter) new toys, letter games and teacher created materials are brought to school to provide a hands-on learning environment which teaches letter and phonic sounds.
ABC Mini Books (Junior Kindergarten only) and Letter/Phonics Writting Pages Each letter that is introduced will be followed up with coloring and writing pages that will reinforce the letter and phonic sound while strengthening small motor and writing skills. The children will create a mini ABC book for each letter that will be used for review throughout the school year and will be sent home when all letters have been completed.
