Ph ... Ph ... Phonics!

Tumpat ELC, David La Londe, was asked by the Kota Bharu PPD to give a presentation on Phonics for 96 Year 2 Linus teachers from the Kelantan district.  It was a two day event with a full-house on both days.

David is relaxed and comfortable in front of an audience.  He kind of reminds me of Steve Jobs during one of his presentations.

Audience participation time.  Making a snake-like gesture for the "s" sound.  Ssssss!

All eyes on David.  Everyone, let's do "The Hokey-Pokey."  Ah-one and a two ....

Time to practice proper letter formation.  Look at the concentration level.

Elizabeth Braden, a Mentor in the Tumpat cluster, demonstrates some phonics games she uses in her classes.

Sara Teale, an ELC and member of the Materials Team, came as a guest speaker to discuss using materials to help students learn phonics.

Word Family Wheels for use in speaking practice.  Students love the day glow colors.

David demonstrates a dice game used to focus on the onset and rhyme segment of phonics.

David and Sara show the audience how to play a hop-scotch like phonics game.  "Is that left foot or right foot first?"

Info on where teachers can download many of the materials they saw that day.

Me and two Word Family Wheels.
