I’m looking back on today’s work I did with some young pupils I work with, they are a little group called ‘ Super Stars’, they are called the super stars because they aren’t as up to speed with the other children in class but they have a lot of potential to work with.
The super stars are a group of 5/6 children aged up 7-11, today we did phonics we did ‘OI’, we had to pronounce ‘oi’ sounding it so that they can speak it clearly, and I also asked the group to think of words or look at the phonics sheet they were working from, to look at the words that have oi in them and say them, they said Coin, Point, Boil and Oil. Once we had sounded them we wrote them on the sheet (Copy behind) and kept repeating them to each other to get the word stuck in place.
Once we had learnt to pronounce the words and repeat and sign them, they got a picture of a ship and two people standing on the ship shouting ‘oi’. They coloured the picture in lots different colours, the sheet it also yellow because it is clearer for the children to see the words and pictures. When we are doing this activity (Phonics) we
1. Sound
2. Read
3. Write/ go over the letters ‘Oi’
4. Colour
5. Signing
Because all the children are different in their own ways, some children struggle pronouncing or they have trouble reading and some have trouble writing, other cannot hear well so we sign as we go through everything to make sure everyone has a good understanding of what is going on in the group, so that we can work on these things.
Today when I was working with the superstars I worked a little one to one with a young boy who has Down’s syndrome and he cannot speak clearly or read and has trouble speaking so we signed the phonics lesson together, but today he wasn’t joining in he hid his face with his arms and cried but after while he came around and he communicated and we carried on. Looking through his phonics book and he signs ‘Plane’ and says plane and gets excited at the fact he has
