We use the Elmo throughout our reading lessons.

•The students become the teachers in this lesson identifying words with the initial sound of Fifi Fish or the letter F.

•Upon arrival every morning the students copy their daily phonics practice. Not only do we use the sentence for reading but for blending onset and rhyming as well.

•The Document Cam also makes it easy to transition from the LCD on the laptop for UnitedStreaming back to blackline masters with the click of a button.

Small Grouping is one thing but throw in the document camera and it’s a whole new world.

And yes, she got it!
