HOW TO USE THIS SYSTEM TO

TEACH 4-YEAR OLDS TO READ:

Volume Two, The Manual for   

ArbeZ ZebrA

is a Parent / Teacher Guide based upon principles developed by

Samuel Orton and Anna Gillingham

                                  

  The activities in this Teaching Guide develop necessary skills:

  • Phonemic Awareness through explicit teaching of sound-symbol associations, in logical sequence, with multi-sensory Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic & Tactile Skills
  • the ability to spell short - vowel words by segmenting them into individual sounds
  • correct mouth formations to assist with development of correct vocalization
  • sentence building using word cards and subject / verb / phrase sentence strips
  • correct  pencil grip for proper formation of letters: straight to C-based, to diagonals 
  • ability to make changes to short vowel words using magnetic letter manipulatives
  • various learning styles are accommodated through multi-sensory activities
  • knowledge that sentences contain a subject & verb: sentence building practice
  • ability to create & read sentences within a short time after beginning these lessons
  • letter-sound correspondence is developed through unique pictures and jingles
  • spelling abilities develop as preschoolers learn to blend & spell short vowel words
  • teaches the long vowel trick: fast learners can progress to long vowels before kgn
  • basic  math  skills are developed: recognition, value and counting of 1-10
  • math TRIANGLES are included so math families can be posted on a board
  • shows GOALS in bold italics  to clearly state the objectives of this system

 Adding Handwriting Begins with Art  

provides you with a mini-preschool program that:

  • stresses the link between motor skills and reading readiness
  • develops fine motor skills with crayon, pencil, scissors and pasting activities
  • teaches correct letter formation & provides various types of practice pages
  • helps prepare eyes to track left to right & develop the eye control needed to read
 
  • Children learn SOUNDS as you read ArbeZ each day. They don't just learn one letter a day.
  • As they memorize jingles that include letter sounds,  they’re ready to begin to learn how to blend these sounds into words.
  • They practice putting the ABCs in order as you read ArbeZ to them.
  • You prepare magnetic alphabet boards to help them  learn where to place plastic letters as they segment each word into its phonemes, i.e., individual sounds.
  • Magnetic letters you purchase elsewhere become the “building blocks” of words.
  • Use magnetic letters as long as necessary.
  • Switch to Volume Three’s word cards and phrases as soon as possible.
  • The Manual (Volume Two) has ideas for word and sentence building.
  • As children learn to read and build sentences using  the word cards, they switch to Volume 3's sentence phrases, which they put together to create silly sentences.
  • Sentences are dictated for children to build with word cards or write on primary paper. They write and illustrate original stories.

'     

  • Reading short-vowel-only books is an easy task once children are able  to build and read sentences using manipulatives.
  • As they learn sounds, children develop large and   fine  motor skills, including learning to correctly form  letters, from straight to curved to diagonal.
