I highly encourage you to go back to Episode 12 called Student Engagement 101, linked below. So what does engagement even mean? Well, if you’re not clear on what engagement is, that’s okay. Well okay, maybe it wasn’t a wise woman, but it was an experienced woman who had missed up enough to finally figure this out, which is my by the way. So with that, let’s talk engagement.Ī very wise woman once said, “Successful instruction hinges from one vital factor: engagement.” I guarantee that you’ll find more success and less stress when making sure every kid in your classroom masters those 26 letters and their sounds. There is one major concept that I’ve really come to understand and utilize over the years that has changed the game for me when teaching letters and sounds. That is why today’s topic is so important.

Sounds fun, but I know from many years of experience teaching kindergarten that this can be a stressful, and sometimes for certain students a nearly impossible, job. If you’ve come this far, I can bet my bottom dollar that your job is to teach alphabet knowledge to a bunch of young and vibrant little cuties. I’m so excited to bring you part three of our Go-Getters Guide to the Alphabet series.
