Fresh Look Fridays -- Pattern Sentences - (21-05-2010)

 

Today's Fresh Look Fridays website focuses on a great little website for early readers.  Pattern Sentences allows younger students to work with manipulating words to try to replicate a specific pattern.

What I really like about this website is that when a word is selected to drag around the board, there is an audio component that states that word verbally.  What a great mix of visual and audio elements to help those just entering the world of reading!

 

Happy long weekend!

What a cool site. Thanks for sharing this fun resource. The Middle and Elementary School teachers will love using this in class.

Good point -- I'm actually on a hunt to find a bit of a more refined site (and one with more than 2-3 activities). Thanks for the feedback James! :)

A little bit of poor design there, IMO. If you click on a word while he's still speaking the sentence, you have audio overlap. I remember from my Flash days that you can disable the movie clips (words) until the audio is done.

But that's just me :)

A classroom educator for 10 years, I’m now thrilled to be working full time training teachers and helping them integrate technology into their classrooms.

Originally from Calgary, I’m thrilled to be living and working in British Columbia and starting to get to know the fabulous educators in my new province.

I fully confess that I am a tech-geek, and thus always brought technology into the classroom with my students. As soon as I got my hands on my first SMART product – I was a convert – and never taught without one again! I was fortunate to be part of several technical trials with SMART – including the SMART Table, which I enjoyed using primarily with my Grade One students.

I spent some time as an Education Technology Consultant and developed my passion for bringing technology into the hands of kids & helping teachers to maximize the tech tools within their schools.

I also love sports, movies and am a classically trained singer.
