Orchard Place
Special education teachers at Orchard Place Elementary School have started using a new reading program called Sonday, which helps students learn beginning sounds and letters.
Using the Sonday curriculum, students in Ms. Liberti's class reviewed letter sounds in small groups and then practiced writing words.
If a correction needed to be made, Ms. Liberti would show them the correct spelling on a whiteboard and the students would make the corrections in their notebooks.
The students then moved on to reading words on a page, with the students reading the words together and then by themselves.
They also played a game in which Ms. Liberti would toss a ball to the students while making a letter sound and the student would have to tell her the letter and toss the ball back.
The final activity of the day was a board game in which they would land on a space, pick a card and tell Ms. Liberti what the word was.
The students are not only increasing their reading and phonics skills, but are having fun in the process!
