Help me give my students an opportunity to learn phonics skills through games - they can have fun without realizing we’re filling in skill gaps they’ve had for years!
I teach Reading interventions to middle school students. It’s especially challenging because these 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are often missing primary reading skills like phonemic awareness and phonics. These are essential skills to decode and comprehend text. While I want to help fill in skill gaps, I don’t want to deliver that instruction like I would at the elementary level, and my students wouldn’t be receptive to that. But… we could play weekly word games that target phonics skills in an indirect way to complement my direct instruction! My students could put their knowledge to practice by manipulating sounds, letters, and words with games like Upwords, Topple, and Boggle. These games will offer fun ways for my students to build skills through fun and friendly competition.
