Pre-K D3

1. Name of the resource: Between the Lions: The Quiet Game

2. Address of the resource: []

3. This game addresses the following literacy standard: CT.PK.R.13 - Phonics: Recognize familiar letter-sound correspondences

4. Description: The game displays a capital letter and shows and names three different pictures. Children need to select the picture that begins with the sound of the letter. If they select the wrong picture, the game tells them the sound that picture starts with and reminds them to search for the picture that starts with the target sound. This activity is good for preschoolers who have good letter recognition and need to practice letter-sound relationships. Younger students or children who do not have as solid a grasp of letter-sound relaionships will stll benefit from this game due to the verbal directions and reinforcers. My class has enjoyed playing this game in the SMART Room.

5. Rating: 5.



The most useful skill I leaned today was how to post, upload, and link to the wiki. I think we could improve the usefulness of the Wikispace by putting people in charge of organizing the pages (e.g. a person in charge of the math page, a person in charge of the literacy page, etc.) and making sure that the Wikispace is updated and organized in a timely fashion.
