126 puzzles, divided in 3 categories (Sounds, Syllables and Words) for a total of 30 activity suggestions for teachers and parents. - Why sounds, syllables and words? Because many Literacy experts and researches support a phonics approach that capitalizes on the high degree of similarity and orthographic equivalencies between English and Spanish (Goldenberg 1994).
- Sounds (Isolating phonemes, matching sounds, substituting sounds)
- Syllables (Blending phonemes and Discriminating syllables)
- Words (Phonemic Awareness)
- How can I apply this program in my classroom? The most effective approach is to use these puzzles in small group for reading intervention, or in learning centers. Also see research behind Cometa.
