YouTube Kindergarten Reading


Do you use songs and music in your classroom to enhance instruction?
This is a great way to promote skills in a fun way! It is also a sneaky way to promote memorization of skills without any pressure. :) 

Here are some great songs I have found for certain reading skills:


ABC - Letter Sounds



Sight Words



CVC

Blends


Digraphs




CVCE


Vowels


Vowel Teams




I have these songs on ALL the time: during transition, in the mornings while students are entering, during clean up, when coming to the carpet after Daily 5. I love to SNEAK it into their day! 

Do you have OTHER great reading songs that are high quality and skill based? Post in the comments! Thanks & happy singing!  :)

Stop, Swap & Roll!

Hi Everyone! Time for another Stop, Swap & Roll! 
Something fun to carry us into the BUSY month of May :)


I am so lucky to be paired with Suzanne from Kindergarten Planet for a product swap. She is the sweetest and she has great things in her TpT store! 




I got to use her Rhyming Rocks pack in my classroom. It couldn’t have been a more perfect unit.  I used it in my Kindergarten intervention group, my grade level group, and my enrichment group! It fit all of my students’ needs. 



Here are some of the things we loved!

The students had a great time matching picture cards to their word chunks! We played it like a memory game. 

When they found a rhyming match, they put the cards into the pocket chart. 




We have been working a lot with reading strategies and my kids made a connection between rhyming words and "chunky monkey!"



 We enjoyed working on CVC words and vowel sounds. We also enjoyed making matches at Word Work! This week we were practicing CVC words with "short u" -- This rhyming page fit perfectly with our curriculum. 

               
   



Rhyming Rocks was so much more than just practicing rhyming words. It had students thinking about providing rhymes, matching rhymes, and listening for sounds. The students worked on word family words and finding words with the same word chunks. 

You definitely need to enter to win Rhyming Rocks! Please like Kindergarten Planet on Facebook & follow on Instagram & Teachers Pay Teachers. Keep hopping along and entering for other great resources! Kindergarten Planet will be on sale for 3 days :)
