Activities

  From Chard, David J & Dickson, Shirley V. (1999). Phonological Awareness: Instructional and
                                  Assessment Guidelines
1.Rhyme

Example                            Variation
Row, row, row your boat             Ba, ba, black sheep
gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merri
   ly;
Life is but a dream
1.1 Sing to the tune if
 youre happy and you know
 it
Did you ever see a cat /be/ in a hat /te/?
Did you ever see a cat / be / in a hat / te/??
No, I never, no, I never, no, I never, no, I never
No, I never saw a cat/ be / in a hat / te/?.

Variations:
A mouse in a house.
A bear in a chair.
An owl drying off with a towel.
1.2 Rhyme Through Movement

One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, more

Task:
In small groups, children sing the rhyme while passing
   around an object.
The child holding the object at the end of the rhyme (on
   more) must then state a word that begins with the
   same initial sound. i.e. /p/
Example: Vary with other food names such as banana
   /b/, papaya /p/, tomato /t/ etc.
1.3 Make a Rhyme

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,    Henny Hen
Pull out the ..
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Bake a cake.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Swim in the  .
2.Sentence Segmentation
 Level
Teacher cuts out green lily pads and places on classroom
  floor.
Children then hop the number of times they hear words
  in a sentence dictated by the teacher.

Alternative: Children clap the number of words heard in
  a sentence.

Task: Practice some short sentences with your partner.
  Have them clap the number of words they hear. Swap
  roles.
2.2 Sentence Segmentation Level

Model                       Practise
1. Good morning children.   1.   Ned has a newt in his net.
2. How are you today?       2.   Penny has a penguin in her
                                 pack.
3. I am fine thank you.     3.   Sally has a seal on her
4. What is your name?.           seesaw.
5. Tomorrow we are going    4.   Tom has a tiger in his tent.
   to town.                 5.   Alex has an ox in his box.
                            6.   Yousef has a yak on his
6. Ahmad is working very
                                 yacht
   well today.
                            7.   Zara has a zebra in her zoo.
3. Syllable Level
Objective:
Students will be able to define syllables
  and recognise how many syllables are
  in a word

 Mark : clap once (one syllable)
 Jenny: clap twice (two syllables)
 cucumber: clap thrice (three syllables)
3.1 Syllable Level
Name Game
 Write all of the childrens names on index cards
  and place in a basket.
 Sit in a circle and pass the basket from one child
  to the next when the music begins.
 When the music stops, whoever is holding the
  basket pulls out a card and reads the childs
  name on the card.
 The class repeats the name and claps out the
  number of syllables or parts as they say the
  name (e.g. Jen-ny has 2 claps.
3.2 Syllable Manipulation

Model                  Practise

Sabah. What           Say robot without the ro
  would the word        Say table without the ta
  say If I took off     Say potato without the po
  the Sa?             Say cucumber without the
                         cu
Elicit: It would say
  bah and now we     Other Examples??
  only have 1
  syllable.                       Source: Blevins (1997: 58)
4. Onset-Rime Level


Onset is the beginning sound in a word or
 syllable and rime is the ending sound.

    onset        rime        word
     /k/          /at/        cat
     /s/          /un/        sun
4.1 Developing Limericks

                                 Guided Practice
Model                            In groups use the following
                                    words to make up your
                                    own limerick.
               Mat
There was a young boy called 
Who had an overly large         Siti, mouse, kitty, house/in/
When it chased the 
It shook the 
So Mat got rid of the 
                                 Sharing
                                 Now read your poem aloud to
                                   your friends.
4.2 Creating Rhyming Poems

Model                            Extension of Variations
Using the word family chart       /in/
   developed by the
   children, create simple        /ip/
   rhyming poems.
                                  /op/
Eg.                               /ick/
             My Cat
My cat is very fat.               /eck/
He should be chasing the rat.
But instead he sits on the mat
And expects a pat.
Oh, my cat is very fat.
5.1 Phoneme Identification
5.2. Phoneme Matching
Initial (beginning) sound




Final (ending) sound




Middle sound
  Possible Activities:
   Teacher distributes pictures to students who must then match the
     pictures according to the teachers instructions.
   Snap.. Card Game.
5.3. Phoneme Substitution

The Teacher has students listen as he/she says a CVC
  word eg. bug.
How many magnets will I use? (3) . Lets count
What about if I change the /b/ to a /m/? What is the word
  now? 
Now lets try dad. How many sounds do you hear? (3) 
  So, how many magnets? (3) 
Do you hear any sounds that are the same? (d) So our
  beginning and ending sound will be the same colour.
TASK: In pairs, use magnets to practice the above
  procedure with other 3 letter words. E.g. bat top fat
  etc.
5.4. Phoneme Blending
Explain to children that you are going to say a word in
  parts. (Robot Talk) You want them to listen
  carefully, and then say the word as a whole. i.e.
  blend the sounds.

For e.g. If I say /m/ /a/ /p/, you would say.. map.
What about if I say /t/ /o/ /p/ ?

TASK:
In pairs practise the above procedure with the
   following words. Remember not to show your
   student the letters.
Practice e.gs: /m/ /o/ /p/, /f/ /i/ /t/, /s/ /u/ /n/, /c/ /a/ /t/.
5.4 Guess It!
Place picture cards in a bag and draw out one picture
  at a time. Tell the children I can see a /k/ an /a/ and a
  /t/.

Show the picture card for children to check their
  response.

Teaching points:
Commence at easier level first e.g. Onset-rime and
  gradually increase difficulty level. E.g. I can see a /c/
  /at/ BEFORE I can see a /c/ /a/ /t/.
Invite children to be the teacher.
5.5. Phoneme Segmentation
Involves children segmenting the sounds they hear in an oral word.

Teacher Dialogue: Im going to say a word and I want you to listen very
  carefully and tell me all the sounds you hear in that word.

For e.g. If I say the word mop you would say /m/ /o/ /p/.
Understand?

TASK: In pairs , role play a teacher and student using the following
   words:
/Hi/, /it/, /so/, /sat/, /top/, /map/
NB: This is a purely aural task. Ensure children cant see the words you
   are dictating.
5.5 Segmentation Cheer

Change the words in the 3rd line of the first stanza each time you say the cheer.
Instruct children to segment the word sound by sound.

Listen to my cheer. Then shout the sounds you hear.
Sun! Sun! Sun!
Lets take apart the word sun!

Give me the beginning sound.
   (Children respond with /s/)
Give me the middle sound.
   (Children respond with /u/)
Give me the ending sound.
   (Children respond with /n/)

Thats right!
/s/ /u/ /n/ - Sun! Sun! Sun!
5.6. Phoneme Deletion &
Addition
Explicit Instruction:

Im going to take a word and make new words using it. I can
   take the /s/ off sat, put on a /p/, and I have a new word  pat.

Guided Practice:
Have children replace the first sound in each word you say
  with a /s/.

hit, well, funny, bun, mad, bend, rat, rope.

NB: Once children are familiar with substituting initial sounds,
  move onto final sounds and finally middle sounds.
5.6 Phoneme Deletion
   Exercises
1. Initial Phoneme
 Say part without the /p/
 Say sun without the /s/

2. Final Phoneme
 Say meat without the /t/
 Say mop without the /p/
 Say take without the /k/

3. Second consonant in an initial blend
 Say spell without the /p/
 Say clap without the /l/
