Description
Have you wondered how to prepare all your kids with a solid phonological awareness base but found your advanced learners bored and your struggling learners lost? Well, in this long-awaited second edition of Interventions for All: Phonological Awareness, author Yvette Zgonc, along with Kim Zgonc present a wealth of phonological awareness activities directly tied to a three-tiered model, which fits in with Response to Intervention (RTI) or any multilevel approach you use.
Informed by research on how the brain learns best, these activities include songs, poems, and games that will keep students engaged, involved, and having fun, because that's when learning is sustained. So, whether they're pretending to be superheroes, surgical assistants, baseball pitchers, or just lowly worms, get ready to see your students actually enjoy strengthening their phonological awareness skills.
In addition to the original and updated ninety-six phonological awareness activities for whole-group, small-group, and individual instruction, along with assessments in both English and Spanish, this second edition now includes:
Updated research with correlated strategies
New Phonics Connection activities (each beginning with a short phonological awareness foundation activity) to support whole-group phonics instruction
Online resources, including a study guide and handouts with suggestions to help parents and caregivers reinforce phonological awareness at home
Suggestions for differentiating whole group activities with on-the-spot adaptive instruction ideas to support your advanced and struggling learners
Multiple trade book recommendations to support new and modified activities
Tips to support students struggling with early rhyming skills
Suggestions to embed quick phonological awareness activities during transition times
If you're looking for maximum learning that makes phonological awareness skills fun and impactful, this revised volume will help you effectively engage your students and monitor their progress, while bringing you one step closer to the ultimate goal-success for all children.
