In this Heggerty lesson we focused on building strong phonemic awareness by practicing first letter names and sounds, using Elkonin boxes, and isolating initial sounds in words. Using Elkonin boxes helps students segment words, and become more confident in identifying where sounds occur. Focusing on first sounds strengthens listening skills and gives students what they need to write beginning letters and eventually stretch and spell full words. How do you teach phonemic awareness? ✏️🔤 #phonemic

Discover how to prepare your preschooler for reading in kindergarten with Heggerty! I use the Early Pre-K version, which I find perfect for preschoolers. It focuses on fun, daily phonological awareness activities. In this video, watch as I go through a full lesson with my three-year-old son, demonstrating how engaging and effective this method can be. #heggerty | Preschool Vibes

This week marks week five of using our early pre-K Heggerty book, and I’m excited to share what one of these quick lessons looks like. Each session is designed to be efficient, taking just 3-4 minutes. Join me as I demonstrate a typical lesson, focusing on phonological awareness. These brief yet impactful moments are crucial for building early literacy skills, engaging young learners in fun and foundational activities. | Preschool Vibes
