Looking ahead to the new year? Be ready when school resumes next week. A lot of classrooms will be talking about “resolutions” in early January. Here are two possible cues for re/sol/u/tion:
Red/sold (like a “sold” sign in front of a house) or red/salt (in the upper right hand corner of the picture). The picture is tiny…there is “red salt” sprinkling out of a salt shaker. I actually bring a salt shaker with red sugar and have the kids sprinkle it on the table for red/salt/u/tion. It’s so good to get all those different senses involved!
Remember to make the syllables very explicit. Clap them, tap them, pound the table, hop up and down. Repeat, repeat, repeat! And don’t forget to have fun!
