All About... Cued Articulation!

Term One is all about learning to :

recognize all 26 upper and lower case letters 

identify the dominant sound each letter represents

make plausible attempts at writing letters in Victorian Modern Cursive font

We have been using a cuing system created by Jane Passy called cued articulation to help students identify the type of sound each letter makes and to cue them into making this sound.

As a prep team, we have found that pairing a visual of the letter, it's name and finger cue has increased the students accuracy in recalling the letter names and sounds.  A vital skill needed when learning to read and write.

Below is a clip which demonstrates the formation of each cue.  Some of the cues for the vowel sounds and blends are not used currently in the classroom with the students.
