Phonemic Awareness Videos

This small set of videos introduces some of the signature moves built into the Best for All Sounds First Curriculum and used over and over to support learning. Each is addressed to students, and models the teacher moves. The videos all use Kindergarten lessons, but teachers in any grade can watch these with or without their students to learn how to make the lively rhythms and movements designed to make these lessons joyous and fun and ‘sticky’ for young learners. Presenting these skills precisely, crisply and quickly is essential to developing accurate phonemic skills in students. 

Before you plunge in: are you confident in your ability to pronounce all the phonemes? The best free source we know for learning precise phoneme pronunciation is “44 Phonemes” generously made available by Rollins University Center for Language and Literacy. We highly recommend watching this short video to insure you are making each sound accurately. This is crucial for student success.
