This is a whole class oral segmenting game that can be used as a fun and simple warm up activity. Simply enter the words your class is focusing on and have students identify the phonemes contained in the words. Once they have made their decision, get them to make the corresponding animal pose! A great way to get students brains warmed up and their bodies moving!
Manipulate more complex sounds in spoken words and use knowledge of blending, segmenting, phoneme deletion and phoneme substitution to read and write words
Understand how to apply knowledge of phoneme–grapheme (sound–letter) relationships, syllables, and blending and segmenting to fluently read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns
Segment words into separate phonemes (sounds) including consonant blends or clusters at the beginnings and ends of words (phonological awareness)
Orally manipulate more complex sounds in spoken words through knowledge of blending and segmenting sounds, phoneme deletion and substitution in combination with use of letters in reading and writing
Understand how to apply knowledge of letter-sound relationships, syllables, and blending and segmenting to fluently read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns
Draws on an increasing range of skills and strategies to fluently read, view and comprehend a range of texts on less familiar topics in different media and technologies
Uses a range of strategies, including knowledge of letter– sound correspondences and common letter patterns, to spell familiar and some unfamiliar words
Uses initial and extended phonics, including vowel digraphs, trigraphs to decode and encode words when reading and creating texts
Applies phonological, orthographic and morphological generalisations and strategies when spelling words in a range of writing contexts
Builds knowledge and use of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary through interacting, wide reading and writing, and by defining and analysing words
Sustains independent reading with accuracy, automaticity, rate and prosody suited to purpose, audience and meaning
Reads and comprehends texts for wide purposes using knowledge of text structures and language, and by monitoring comprehension
Selects, applies and describes appropriate phonological, orthographic and morphological generalisations and strategies when spelling in a range of contexts
Manipulate more complex sounds in spoken words through knowledge of blending and segmenting sounds, phoneme deletion and substitution
Identify all Standard Australian English phonemes, including short and long vowels, separate sounds in clusters
Understand how to apply knowledge of letter–sound relationships, and blending and segmenting to read and use more complex words with less common consonant and vowel clusters
Have students identify how many syllables are contained in multisyllabic words.
