Seminar #1 Multisensory ABC and Phonics Immersion: Building the Reading Brain
Complimentary resources are from ABC Phonics: Sing, Sign, and Read! program by Nellie Edge, Sign2Me publishers.
Fingerspelling letters and signing key phonics symbols provide a powerful memory hook for learning to name and recognize the letters and sounds of the alphabet. Children deserve an engaging multicultural and musical ABC Phonics adventure that is authentic, joyful, and accelerates the learning process.
When children are singing and signing, they are engaged and focused — the optimum state for language learning.
Multiply your teaching effectiveness: Give parents Family Reference Chart to practice with at home. Encourage nightly review using free online American Sign Language (ASL) instructional videos.
Use abc and fingerspelling mats with play dough to reinforce letter recognition and provide fingerspelling practice. Children are motivated to:
- observe closely
- self-correct
- dialog
- practice in pairs
- help their friends
Laminated play dough mats provide a relaxed social context for self-directed learning. These same play dough mats are also part of our Kindergarten-Friendly Handwriting program. Find play dough mats as a free download at Nellie Edge Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) store (be sure to follow us).
Play Dough Mats: abc and Fingerspelling
Celebrate kindergartners as ABC Phonics and fingerspelling experts: Make a class book! This is another use for the A-Z Wall Cards from Sign2Me.
Personalize Your ABC Phonics and writing program:
Use ABC Phonics: Sing, Sign, and Read! as a model and create a classroom of sign language experts. Children love being inside the covers of a favorite class-made ABC book!
Make learning visible for the child, the parent — and the teacher. Assess for fluency in systematic and engaging ways. Celebrate mastery!
Fluency = Speed + Accuracy!
“I can read. Listen and see. Come sing, sign, and read with me!” That is how we end our ABC Phonics: Sing, Sign, and Read! book.
Keep learning active, authentic and engage every sensory modality: Quick, accurate recall of letters and sounds builds the reading brain!
Add music, fingerspelling and sign language to your current ABC/Phonics program! (Sing your version of the ABC song using the traditional ABC Mozart melody!)
