Each day as you learn about amphibians, write one word on a page and draw a picture. Add a few words and pictures each day. Teacher guide the students to suggest words that relate to the facts learned about amphibians. Teacher guides the students to spell each sound in the word. Teacher asks for the first sound heard when you say toad .
Students give the sound.
The teacher then asks the students what letter makes that sound. As the students say the letter for the sound, the teacher writes the letter on the chalkboard and the students write the letter in their word book until the word is spelled. Students then draw a picture to correspond to the word. This practice develops letter and sound recognition. Students use a drawing program such as KidPix or Paint to draw and label pictures that illustrates a fact learned about amphibians.
