[senco-forum] Y1 phonological awareness

Hi Anusia

Away from all of the mantras and longwinded explanations.

You may find some practical advice from some who have found solutions for
these types of problems.

Have a look at the links below

http://www.learningstyles.apduk.org/vsl_lks_spell.htm 

http://www.learningstyles.apduk.org/vslwholeword.htm 

and an article that puts much of this in perspective

All of the above are the APD friendly versions of these articles, the
original pdf files can be downloaded from

in the Visual Spatial Learner section

Subject: [senco-forum] Y1 phonological awareness

Dear all
We have a group of children in y1 who are having great difficulties with  
blending - they simply "do not get it".  Difficulties include possible ASD
(2 
awaiting assessment), language delay and EAL.

Clearly they have weak phonological awareness and we will be looking at
ways 
to develop their skills, as well as using whole word and onset and rime  
strategies.  Does anyone have good ideas for activities / games which could
be 
used by a TA in a small group, or alternatively just some further  advice...

Many thanks.
