Marion Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 There isn't a specific action for Letters & Sounds so she must be using another scheme alongside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 We use Gap House sounds so ours is slightly different. We wiggle our fingers away from our mouth as if a feather was caught on the wind. I think it is slightly different for cued articulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 We were using jolly phonics but with letters and sounds we don't tend to do actions very often because of the type of activities in the letters and sounds phase one pack but we usually revert back to jolly phonics if actions to sounds are used. On L&S course they really emphasised on being careful how you are saying the sound of the letter- not putting 'uh' on the end of the sound e.g. buh, tuh, cuh etc which is actually really hard to say when you are saying the sounds to the children! You end up saying the sounds very quietly, particularly with 'p', but the dvd has a good (but slightly funny) video on someone saying all the sounds. Children always love 'v' as it makes their 'mouths tickle' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
