Fishing Phonics
Posted January 23, 2012
These students are using a fishing pole to catch fish. If the picture on the fish starts with the sound of "F" they keep the fish, all others are thrown away. Hands on activities like this are one way kindergarten students develop their phonemic awareness skills. They learn to hear the sound of F and identify orally stated words that start with that sound (fish, fox, fan, etc). In addition to isolating the beginning sound, they began constructing entire words by blending together each of the sounds (f-a-n).
