Thank you so much! I am a new teacher and I have been assigned to first grade. My district hired teachers to help first graders with their reading skills since most of our students have been on distance learning and have not had sufficient explicit reading instruction. Your videos are SO helpful! Thank you!
@Miss Gemini are you enjoying the journey? I got offered a teaching position at our local elementary so we are back in a regular classroom environment. But wow, I miss it!
I plan on taking the TexES STR exam and this is really helpful for when I have to to the CRQ. You really break the information down. I look forward to more videos. Thank you.
This comment is unrelated to the content, but the changing of your background was a subtle but effective tactic (if intentional lol). Fresh new visual stimuli for each phonemic strategy you presented. Well delivered :)
Wonderful!!! I am a montessori teacher and we do a lot of this stuff, but I really liked that scaffolding chart so I can know kind of how to build upon the skills we have gone through! Great video
Love this video! SO INFORMATIVE! We use Michael Heggerty in our district. I do these activities daily with my students! Awesome way to explain the importance of daily practice for firsties. Love the article, too! Thanks Susan! :)
Hello! New subscriber. I found this incredibly helpful. Im currently studying to take my Science of Teaching Reading exam here in Texas. so happy your channel popped up in my feed.
❤ Super helpful. I homeschool & I am struggling with my youngest who has several speech difficulties. He deletes the last letter sound & duplicates the first sound making it really hard to understand what he is saying. (Gee = green, Bra-bur = brother or Kis-kas = Christmas) Speech therapy has helped some but they ask for 3 letter words to be repeated. He tried but he can’t say “mat” he says “mata” or nap becomes napa. I’m noticing he cannot blend sounds even after we spent the whole TK school year learning all the sounds of the alphabet 2X. I have seen good improvement. At the start of the year he didn’t know his ABCs and skipped 16 when counting now he knows the alphabet and a good number of letter sounds and counts to 135. So he is learning but no where near reading. I didn’t know there were levels to teaching blending or that seperating letter sounds was the 1st step to teach before blending. 😅 I never had to do this with my oldest who self taught himself to read before 5. I thought that was the norm. Kids love watching letter sound videos and catch on quick. But I am really struggling to teach a kid how to read when he literally tells me “end sounds are not important” and then gets angry & frustrated when no one understands him. We try so hard to figure out what he is saying. I think if I start teaching him blending 2 letter words then 3 letter words won’t be so hard in speech therapy but I will try this letter separation 1st. Thank you!
Hi This is Maria, I have seen your video about 6 activities on Phonemic Awareness. I'm Kindergarten Teacher. I love those activities on One vowel word, can you add a two vowel words, bone, seat....etc. Thank you. Great help to me.
I've always like the way Open Court blending charts used the had motions to show what graphemes make what sounds. And I liked the way students were asked to state what they noticed was common in each line. If anyone knows how I can get a set of those posters for TK/K/1st, please let me know. I think they are expensive to purchase.
Hi Susan! Thank you so much for this amazing video! May I know how to teach Phonemic awareness without teaching the letters and phonics first? How would you start the first lesson on phoneme isolation for kindergartens?
The 6 skills of PA are - P Isolation, P categorisation, P Identity, P blending, P segmentation and P Manipulation. The manipulation section has 3 subsets - P addition, P substitution and P deletion.
Hello Susan! Do you give your class homework and if you do what are some examples and how long do you expect them to spend on homework? This is a discussion in our district. Thank you!
Hi!😊🖐 This is so helpful! I have 2 Questions: 1. How quickly might you go through these phonemic awareness activities? 2. Could you recommend some great reader books for kids in that beginning stage of reading/phonemic awareness? I so need tips on that. Thx!😁👍
Hi！My foreign➕pretty online teacher！！I have a question is：Do I have to follow this step every time when explaining words? step by step？Or can I choose the appropriate steps from them? For example, directly talk about blending or directly talk about mixture?
Hi I be just started teaching phonics to my 3 year old,so want suggestions that can these all levels of phonological awareness taught first before starting phonics by showing the letters ,a 3 year will be able grasp all these levels plz help
I like this video, but I’m curious why you use all upper case letters when showing words? I see this common in schools. I have found that many kids can’t read once they see words in lower case. I choose to teach all lowercase first because most words are lower case. I teach uppercase later and I’ve found they hardly need much instruction on the uppercase and just pick up on them for the most part.
I’ve been doing PA with my tutoring students but incorporating letter tiles and print to accelerate the process since many are quite behind. Love these explanations though! Do you follow a specific program?
Susan please show some class demo for more clarity. It will be really help me. I mean to say please walk the talk for me so that i can do the same in my class
Hi, Susan. My name is Victor. I am from Venezuela and I need to learn Reading and Spelling perfectly. Then, what is the best to learn English reading/spelling? My mother tongue is Spanish, then I need so much information, VERY!!! Thanks!!!
Hi😁🖐, I'm wondering if you think it's ok if my kiddo is learning the phoneme already with the written word? I think he's pretty visual so seems I need something he can see too. But I don't want to skip anything. I'd love to know your thoughts on this?
I am teaching English to a group of students from Nepal. They are mostly 60+ and they are semiliterate in their L1. Phonemic is particularly difficult for them as they can say the names of the alphabet but not the sounds these alphabet make. Any advice on that? Many thanks 🙏!
Question! What about during this pandemic? It's hard for my students to see my mouth sounding out the words because of our masks. What should I do to compensate for this?
With phonemic isolation the focus is just on one sound. Either the initial, middle or ending sound while phoneme segmentation focus is on identifying all the sounds in the word.
Thank you for providing an example of each step of the ladder in phonemic awareness. Love your content 🙌 Are you doing a 2 year program? When will you graduate? 😃

Hi Susan. I love this video. Where can I access the phonemic awareness graphic that illustrates the simplest to complex? Thanks.

great job. how do you teach the final phoneme (isolation)?

I’ve been doing PA with my tutoring students but incorporating letter tiles and print to accelerate the process since many are quite behind. Love these explanations though! Do you follow a specific program?
Is phonemic awareness under the umbrella of phonological awareness? or are they used interchangeably but mean the same thing?
Susan please show some class demo for more clarity. It will be really help me. I mean to say please walk the talk for me so that i can do the same in my class
Thank you for this great idea
I love this video..Really helpful.
I need you to do a video on strategies that can be used to teach kindergarten the long Ee sound in a creative way

Would you have any tips on sentence recall for students in primary who have auditory challenges?
Is there online games to practice the levels of the phonemic awareness for my students
love this! I teach my students this.

@Susan Jones Teaching I request you to make some videos on the activities for the subject ENVIRONMENT for K.G. kids. thanks
Thanks for the sharing✨
What is an eal? I know eel. Can someone tell me what is the meaning of eal?
Question! What about during this pandemic? It's hard for my students to see my mouth sounding out the words because of our masks. What should I do to compensate for this?
Record yourself before the class doing the sounds and describing how you do it.
Thanks for the tips.
Awesome.
It's confusing knowing the difference between Phonemic isolation & segmentation. Can you elaborate?
With phonemic isolation the focus is just on one sound. Either the initial, middle or ending sound while phoneme segmentation focus is on identifying all the sounds in the word.
Anyone have any ideas of how to use technology in the classroom with Phonemic awareness?
Thank you! Amazing 🤩
Thanks
