Videos demonstrating use of Phonic Faces at YouTube or TeacherTube See Jan Norris using Phonic Faces to understand how they can be used for many age groups and purposes. Phonic Faces Book reading Preschooler learns alphabet, letter-sounds and phonological awareness by reading a specially designed Phonic Faces alphabet-storybook (learning letter-sounds is a natural part of reading these stories!). Great research results for Headstart, preschoolers, phonological awareness, and older children with disabilities, as well as speech therapy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIx4HD1k6SE http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=17818&title=Phonic_Faces Phonic Faces Z Here we are reading Zeke's Buzzing Bee's to teach children the concept of sounds that are made with voicing. After Zeke chases the bees away, he can no longer make his zzzz sound so then he wants them back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIx4HD1k6SE http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=17869&title=Phonic_Faces_Z Sound Blending Idea This little train works great to teach children how to sound out words or segment words into sounds. We have them in learning centers in our kindergarten classrooms and the kids quickly pick up on beginning-middle-end sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbI4_Df2XSQ&feature=player_embedded http://www.teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=20792&title=Sound_Blending_Idea Teaching Beginning Reading This is Mark's first attempt to read. I supported his efforts with Phonic Faces (www.elementOry.com) and he was very successful! He is in preschool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkZJ-7Tp7W8 http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=105269&title=Teaching_Beginning_Reading Phonic Faces Words These sight word cards (MorphoPhonic Faces) picture the first sound of the word using a Phonic Face and then the meaning of the word drawn into the remaining letters (the first stage of sight word learning when children learn "look" because the o's look like eyeballs). By picturing all of the Dolch words this way, this 3 year old easily figures out the principle of word recognition in just a few minutes. Kindergarten and first grade kids love these because they can learn words independently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doCUjTjV4Mw http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=18113&title=Phonic_Faces_Words Phonic Faces Alphabet-Dictionary This alphabet book teaches letter-sounds (most teach letter names), and the alphabetic word-recognition principle. In our research 2-year olds learned the words and letter-sounds after just 18 10-minute readings, and first graders learned more words and improved decoding. Why read an alphabet book that does less? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxKsDMCwC2o&feature=player_embedded http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=19606&title=Phonic_Faces_Alphabet_Dictionary 1st Grade Vowel Digraph OU or OW Phonic Faces books (available at elementOry.com) are designed to make children aware of letter-sounds such as the ou/ow sound and a wide range of words containing this digraph. Also a great spelling lesson for pattern words. The stories make the letter/sound easy to remember http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trmZ6GU0RMA http://www.teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=42571&title=1st_Grade_Vowel_Digraph_OU_or_OW_Phonic_Faces Phonic Faces Rules Short Vowel and Silent E This is a demonstration showing how Phonic Faces can be used to easily show the principle of short vowels, and how a silent e changes the vowel to a long vowel sound. Great for beginning readers or any person, young or old, who has difficulty understanding phonics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NRhOCP3MuM http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=18355&title=Phonic_Faces_Rules_Short_Vowel_and_Silent_E 1st Grade Phonics with Phonic Faces First graders need to learn basic decoding principles. Phonic Faces show the differences between long and short vowels and how vowel rules work.

The text provides authentic language, the letters provide visual cues to elicit productions and support self-monitoring. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuRiP90EzfY http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=121308&title=Articulation_Intervention_in_a_Reading_Context Intervention for Childhood Apraxia MorphoPhonic Faces were used to "bootstrap" word and sound production for a nonverbal child with apraxia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmHcdbA0n00 http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=42579&title=Childhood_Apraxia_Intervention_with_Phonic_Faces_and_Books Childhood Apraxia Intervention with Phonic Faces and Books The visual cues of Phonic Faces and Phonic Faces storybooks (available at elementOry.com) help children with childhood apraxia produce and remember how to place their articulators in sounds and sentences. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70AoRIUOjHc http://www.teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=125585&title=Childhood_Apraxia_Intervention Learning Quotation Marks Learning to use quotation marks is a mystery to many children. Using visual strategies to SHOW them what they mean quickly clears the confusion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVZZcHnu6mo http://www.teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=34143&title=Learning_Quotation_Marks____Phonic_Faces Phonic Faces Punctuating Visually Beginning writers (and older poor writers) are pretty clueless about punctuation. I started using visual strategies such as framing to show them what a sentence looks like, and to explain the purpose of punctuation using kid logic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9VhD4TZZrc&feature=player_embedded http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=19744&title=Punctuation_Strategy_that_Works |
