How to do the daily lesson warm up in Levels 1 and 2 The warm up should take 5 to 10 mins max every day: See below for more detailed instructions for each part.
How to practice the sound-family/odd words flashcards:Put the flashcards in a pile. Take one flashcard at a time, ask the pupil to say the sound and put it on a new pile if it is correct.
If it is said incorrectly, place it on a separate pile. When you have completed the flashcards through once, take the incorrect pile, and rework them making two piles as before. Continue until your pupil can recognise every sound correctly. Once again, we are aiming to have these groups of letters (which make one sound) stored in the pupil's long term memory so that no effort is needed to recall the appropriate sound when they are seen in words. Although it may seem boring, this repetition is vital to success. DO NOT MISS IT OUT. Do ensure that you know the sound that each group of letters stands for yourself before presenting the words to your pupil. If you are not able to use physical flashcards, then you can use our video flashcards. They are second best, but better than nothing. Comments are closed.
