Elastic Band Models: Phonemic Awareness Practice for ZERO COST!

Here are a few more examples of phonemic awareness models produced by stapling pieces of cardstock to elastic waistband material (see my April 11th post).  You might also use velcro to stick on different pieces and make the models easily interchangeable.  These are great for direct instruction and guided practice in segmenting and blending, plus they can be used effectively in centers, once students learn how they can be used.  For ideas, see my Name Wall book and keep in touch--I'll post more details here.  Thanks again for stopping by!  Happy Friday!  -j
