Learning & Teaching

Students in Foundation to Grade 2 participate in daily Heggerty lessons. The Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum provides everything you need to teach daily phonemic awareness lessons in 12 minutes or less. Each level of the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum provides up to 35 weeks of daily lessons, focusing on eight phonemic awareness skills, along with two additional activities to develop letter and sound recognition, and language awareness. Lessons are designed for a classroom setting, and only take 8-12 minutes each day. Lessons provide daily opportunities to develop phoneme awareness and proficiency through:

Rhyme

Phoneme Isolation

Blending syllables and phonemes

Segmenting syllables and phonemes

Adding syllables and phonemes

Deleting syllables and phonemes

Substituting syllables and phonemes

In the videos we have the Foundation and Grade 1- teachers modelling with their class the different skills.
