Create Rhyming Words While Using Locomotor Skills in Physical Education is a cross-curricular lesson designed by an Elementary Health and PE teacher to support Language Arts instruction. Created By: Cullen Powhatan County Public Schools

The following lesson is an introductory/review lesson for teaching students to blend words at the phoneme level. This activity is great for emergent learners. As students master beginning and ending sounds and short vowels are introduced, students are ready to start blending words using phonemes, which will foster decoding words in text. Students needing extra support can blend at the onset and rime level. This can be done over a span of 4 weeks since there are multiple tiers of 3, 4, and 5 phoneme boards.

Students needing extra support can blend at the onset and rime level. This can be done over a span of 4 weeks since there are a few sets on initial and final digraph phoneme boards.

Multi-sensory Explicit Phonics for Tier 3 Reading Invention provides a fully scripted reading program, assessment tools, scope and sequence, teacher and student instructional materials and embedded professional learning through an overview and modeling, all in one. It is based in Orton-Gillingham and Direct Instruction methodologies and contains additional components of phonological awareness (Heggerty) and visualization during phoneme-grapheme mapping and connecting concepts to semantic networks.

During this activity, students will read s blend words, document the different blends they encounter, and graph the results.This is a practice in reading consonant blends, using tally marks for counting/documenting data, and graphing to represent that data.
