•
•
💙The continuity and consistency of seeing these little people every day has been good for all of us. ☺️

Blending sounds…. an important foundational skill. 🧨
•
•
🔥It ensures early readers focus on all the sounds in a word not just the first one or two.
•
•
🔥Effective decoding is a result of smooth sound blending.
•
•
🔥Cognitive scientists have shown that accurate decoding is a hallmark of skilled reading.
•
•
🔥This game is packed with opportunities to develop skills.
•

Will you try this one?💜💜

The challenge….
•
Sort some buttons in an interesting way.
•
The result…..
•
A visual journal page showcasing learning for numeracy and literacy outcomes.
•
•
Visual journals allow learners to return to a page several times to add new pieces.
•
•
Building pages part by part allows quality and workmanship to be priorities.
•
•
•
•
Do you use visual journals in your classroom?
