Bubble Gum....Bubble Gum
We all have stretched out words in our classroom using a yo-yo, rubber band, slinky, or a fun stretchy toy. During RtI this week, we are working on S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G OUT WORDS with REAL bubblegum! From the Pond Blog has a great unit called, "Stretch it OUT like Bubblegum".
Click {RIGHT HERE} to go to her blog post about S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G OUT WORDS and where to purchase her unit.
During my RtI group time, I have 3 students come up to the front of the room and chew their bubblegum until it is soft and stretchy. When we stretch out the words, the 3 students slowly stretch their bubblegum so it does not break; the rest of the class makes the sounds out loud for each sound in the word, as I write the sounds on the board. Our lesson could have lasted an hour and I would have not lost their attention.
My RtI group thought this was just the greatest thing ever! The excitement on their faces during the lesson was priceless, and they cannot wait until it is their turn to stretch out the word with bubble gum. I also have heard of using silly putty, instead of icky sticky bubble gum!

Sizzling Summer Tip # 2
PHONEMIC AWARENESS CAN BE TAUGHT AND LEARNED!
Effective phonemic awareness instruction teaches children to notice, think about, and work with sounds. You may use many activities to build phonemic awareness. Here is an example of each:
Phoneme Isolation:
Children recognize individual sounds in a word.
Teacher ~ What is the first sound in "wig"?
Student ~ The first sound in wig is /w/.
Phoneme Identity:
Children recognize the same sounds in different words.
Teacher ~ What sound is the same in "dog, dip, and den"?
Student ~ The first sound, /d/, is the same.
Phoneme Categorization:
Children recognize the word in a set of three or four words that has the "odd" sound.
Teacher ~ Which word doesn't belong: "hen, hat, rug".
Student ~ Rug does not belong. It doesn't begin with /h/.
Phoneme Blending:
Children listen to a sequence of separately spoken phonemes, and then combine the phonemes to form a word. Then they write and read the word.
Teacher ~ What word is /b/ /e/ /d/?
Student ~ /b/ /e/ /d/ is bed.
Teacher ~ Now let's write the sounds bed: /b/, write b; /e/, write e; /d/, write d.
Teacher ~ Writes the word on the board. Now we're going to read the word bed.
Phoneme Segmentation:
Children break a word into its separate sounds, saying each sound as the tap out or count it.
Then they write and read the word.
Teacher ~ How many sounds are in "frog"?
Student ~ /f/ /r/ /o/ /g/. Four sounds.
Phoneme Deletion
Children recognize the word that remains when a phoneme is removed from another word.
Teacher ~ What is "smile" without the /s/?
Student ~ Smile without the /s/ is mile.
Phoneme Addition
Children make a new word by adding a phoneme to an existing word.
Teacher ~ What word do you have if you add /s/ to the beginning of "park"?
Student ~ Spark.
Phoneme Substitution
Children substitue one phoneme for another to make a new word.
Teacher ~ The word is "bug". Change /g/ to /n/. What's the new word?
Student ~ Bun.
Resource ~ Put Reading First...The Research Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read
Have five or ten minutes to spare in your classroom....grab one of these activities to help your kiddos become better readers!

Sizzling Summer Tips
Summer brings us warm thoughts and there are so many sentiments that capture sunny days, outdoor fun, and nature's luxury. I have a long summer TO DO SCHOOL LIST…believe it or not…and I would like to share some tips this summer with all my blogging friends. Hopefully, my "Sizzling Summer Tips" will give you a boost of confidence to help you to remember to BELIEVE in yourself!
Sizzling Summer Tip Number #1:
Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds~phonemes~in spoken words. It is important because it improves children's word reading and reading comprehension.
