Kindergarten Heggerty

Heggerty/Randall Klein

*As you teach Heggerty, be sure and remember that students are mirroring you with the motions so you will need to use your right hand for the start of a word and your left hand for the end of a word.

 

  • Beginning Sound Identification- Students listen to the word and identify what the first sound is (/b/ in bat). 

  • Middle Sound Identification-In a CVC structured word, students listen and identify the medial sound (/u/ in bug).

  • Final Sound Identification- Students listen to the word and identify the final sound (/n/ in van).                                      

  • Onset Rime-Using only one syllable words, students can identify the first sound and then the rest of the word (/r/ /an/).

  • Body Coda- Using only one syllable words, students can identify the body of the word and the final sound. (/ca/ /b/). 

  • Segmenting 2 and 3 Sound Phonemes-Students can break down words into phonemes (man--> /m/ /a/ /n/).

  • 2 and 3 Sound Blending-Students can push together individual sounds in a CVC word (/r/ /e/ /d/-->red). 

  • Adding, Deleting and Substituting Phonemes

Students add a new initial sound onto the rime (/un/ add /s/).

Students delete the initial sound and say the rime (/s/ /un/, take away the /s/, What's left? /un/).

Students substitute the initial sound with a different initial sound (/s/ /un/ to (/f/ /un/)
