| Building Words in First Grade |
My school began using Fundations for our phonics instruction this year. It has its issues, but overall I am really enjoying it. I appreciate the preplanned lessons that provide enough structure to make the phonics block predictable, while still providing enough variety to keep it exciting for teachers and students. I also love the incredible student materials that come along with the program. Having a white board, magnetic letter tablet, and student consumables keeps students engaged and empowered.
The main issues I have had so far have been with differentiation. The activities in a given lesson are fast paced, which helps to keep student attention, but the quickness makes it hard to differentiate in a meaningful way.
I have created a number of trick word practice pages that have been a hit in my room. Check them out in my
TPT store.
Do you have any suggestions for those high fliers or slow movers?
