I'm so glad I saw your comment, I was thinking the exact same thing for my artifact! What kind of feedback did you get when you did a lesson similar to this one?
Your idea with the white board is really great. If you're working with sounds (phonemes), help me understand why you're using the vowels and consonants in your lesson? I have been taught that sound manipulation is working with sounds only; not to use letters. The students could use counters or cubes for the sounds in the words instead of the letters you're using. I also have to do an artifact for a reading academy, and our assignment was specific to sounds. When I watched your video, it contradicts what we were taught, and I got a bit confused. Thanks for your time.
Hi Eunice, This activity is one you can use to help bridge phonemic awareness skills to phonics skills. Ideally, you would be working on a phonemic awareness warm up lesson daily, which is mainly done orally. Once students are able to do this skill orally, you want to add in sounds to connect it to phonics. The end goal of phonemic awareness is to help your students decode and spell, so the sooner you can add in letters to represent the sounds the better. It is actually a common misconception that phonemic awareness must be done orally only.

THIS IS AWESOME! I have to create a lesson for my TEA Artifact 6 and this was a great suggestion.
Yay! I am glad you found it helpful!

Just found this channel. I'm going to do this with my kinders in a slightly different way. Many of my students are still working on letter sounds.
