Introduction
The past two weeks in my intro to education class we have been observing elementary classes. This is a great way for students to get "experience" while still in high school, as well as exploring different fields of education.
Observation #1
In the first class, students were practicing letter sounds and blending them to form simple words, using interactive activities and flashcards. The teacher used songs and chants to help students remember sounds, creating an energetic and fun learning environment.
Observation #2
The second class worked on segmenting and blending words, breaking down sounds and combining them to read simple words. The teacher guided the students through hands-on activities like word sorting and matching games, making the lesson feel engaging and interactive.
Biggest Takeaway
Both classrooms emphasized phonics as the key to building strong literacy skills, using interactive activities that kept students engaged. Whether it was blending sounds or segmenting words, it was clear that making phonics fun and hands-on is essential for young learners to develop confidence in reading.
