Comprehension in Colors

A key question we as teachers should stop and ask ourselves is …”are my students focusing on learning to read? Or, have they become automatic in their reading, to the point where they can read to learn?” Once students can focus less on their actual decoding of the text, they can let loose and have fun with reading comprehension. This is when learning becomes even more interesting.

Kids love puppets and story time! Here is a fun phonemic awareness activity that you can use to introduce the /z/ sound. Students sit and listen to Ziggy – he has some interesting ways of saying words, and needs your help!
