I played the phoneme game that Mrs. White posted. The first time I did it, it was fun and easy for me. Then I played it from a child's perspective and that changed things. It wasn't easy anymore. I can imagine how difficult it would be for a child, especially a child with a learning disablitliy. The vowel phonemes sound so similar, it would be difficult to figure out which one to use where. How confusing!
I agree with Leslie about chapter 2 in the text being confusing. I am glad that Mrs. White commented that she would clear things up! =] I am beginning to see how important language development is in education, and I am sure it will become even more clear further into the class.

Melissa, do you think the game helped you to be able to identify what is a phoneme?
Let's think about those levels of thinking we talked about last week...knowledge, comprehension, analysis, synthesis, evaluation. . .
Do you think you now at least KNOW and can IDENTIFY a phoneme? My goal by the end of this week's class is that you will develop a have an understanding or comprehension of how they are used in language. By the end of this course it is my goal that you will begin to evaluate how students language demonstrates their mastery of phonemes.
I am confident all of you will master these goals!!!

I understand that phonemes are sounds that distinguish words. Is that correct? The game is a good way to see phonemes "in action" so to speak. I don't know if I could identify each phonemone just yet, but I bet I will be able to after class tomorrow night! ;]
