WELCOME TO DAY 4

WELCOME TO THE DAY 4 

Please view the below video to get announcements and updates.   I am so sorry, but today's blog got a bit long.  You will NOT be able to just rely on scrolling down to get all items on this blog.  Look directly to your right.  Here you will be able to see the different postings or what I like to call chapters or sections.  This is what you will see: 

BANNED BOOKS WEEK: SEPTEMBER 30-OCT. 6

Celebrate the power of literature and read a banned book!

Banned Books Week is Sept. 30 – Oct. 6

What would you do if you went to the library to check out a book, only to find it wasn’t there? Not because it was already checked out, but because someone else didn’t agree with its content and had it removed?

View the bottom two videos and in the comments section directly below,  post your favorite banned book.

THREE CUEING SYSTEM PART I

Please view the Power Point below. 


 This section addresses the graphophonic system (sounds and letters).  Here we explore how the written characters have a relationship to the sounds of the language.

You are free to leave a comment or questions directly below in relation to this video.


Three Cueing Systems Part II: The Syntactic System

PLEASE VIEW THE BELOW VIDEO/POWER POINT. 

Here we explore how patterns and constraints make up what we call the syntactic system of language, its sentence structure.  It is not a simple task to describe the syntax (also called grammar) of a language in its entirety.  This discussion of the syntactic system here will be very basic.  

Again, please feel free to leave a comment or question directly below this section in relation to this video.
