For the Phonemic Awareness Activity, I chose to do Beginnning - Middle - End, which is a three step activity activity from Words Their Way. Instead of using a pocket chart for a whole class activity, I used index cards and sat at a kidney shaped table with a small group of children, including one ESOL student. These students are six of the lowest readers in second grade. One is a stutterer, one is ESOL, one is being placed in special education, one has some kind of seizures, and the other two are just beginning reaeders
I taught them the song first. Then we began with an easy word face down on the table. I did the first one in sequence of how it was spelled and then mixed up the sequence of the other words. I did this with six
words so that every student had a turn. This activity will be beneficial to this group of students. It is just another opportunity to learn a skill to help them read.
