Sphero RVR - Color Walk Vowel Sounds
Using the color sensor, students will program the RVR to read a list of words related to the Vowel Sounds category and associated to each specific color tile. They will use the Drive tool in Sphero EDU and stop over each color. This also uses speech blocks as well as the "On Color" event block.
Total Physical Response is a fun and time-tested method of language acquisition. Now let's infuse it with some technology! Recording yourself giving students a word prompt and sample action can be a fun way to connect, particularly if they are learning from home. You can also encourage your students to get moving and learning from home by making their own TPR videos.
Build reading and listening comprehension skills for your students by creating videos of you reading a text aloud to them. You don't have to be on camera, but having your students hear your voice can be of huge benefit! Use Screencastify to create this video content and then share it with your students on Google Classroom.
