Things to Ponder this Summer

Hello!

Though the title of this post is Things to Ponder This Summer, I realize that many of you have committed to not pondering anything work-related until you’re officially back to work. I get it. :)

However, I hope you will at some point check out the links below as these are topics all kindergarten teachers should know about and consider when planning their programming. I find it valuable to reread these posts in order to refresh my understanding and think again about how best I can use this information.

Phonemic Awareness - How is proficiency determined?

Orthographic Mapping - You’ve heard of it, but do you really understand it?

How to Promote Orthographic Mapping - Word study activities for the kindergarten classroom

High Frequency Words - Is memorizing a dirty word?

Let me know if you have thoughts or questions!

Sincerely,

Randee
