Wonderful reading, Tin-Tin! I'm really glad to see that you're really reading the words in the book. Bravo :) | Moo Moo! Buzz Buzz! Tick Tick Tock! The K-3 students have been exploring onomatopoeias - or what the kids call "sound words" - through a read-aloud of Dr. Seuss's "Mr. Brown Can MOO! Can You?" They then play with the sounds in the classroom, creating words that capture what they hear. Playing with the meaning and spelling of sounds comes easily to children. A child's first sounds and words come from playful repetition, gurgling, and babbling. The repetition of key sounds or words is instrumental in helping young children learn the sounds of language, ultimately enabling them to associate sounds with their respective graphemes. As students focus on sound words, they begin with their ability to hear and mimic the sounds (phonemes) that they hear. From this beginning step, students move on to use spelling strategies to create the graphemes that represent those sounds. The kids and I had a lot of fun reading and discussing "Mr. Brown Can MOO! Can You?" individually and as a class. |
Our selected reader for this book is Tin-Tin (K-3). You can listen to Tin-Tin read "Mr. Brown Can MOO! Can You?" here on this blog. He did a fantastic job reading each and every word. A job well done for another accomplished early reader in K-3!
