Spelling & The Phonics Dance Revised Alphabet Walk Revised Phonics Dance The Phonics Dance Philosophy -By Author/Creator Virginia Dowd The Phonics Dance was inspired by my inability to read first graders' stories. Decoding their words was almost impossible for me. So I came up with an approach that would give these six, seven and eight year olds a strategy to sound out words. As first and second graders dance their way through chants and rhymes they start a journey through sound, continually looking for “hunks” and “chunks” that are part of our language. The decoding process is made easy because of the rhyme and movement in the learning. Children of all developmental ages benefit from daily reinforcement. The Phonics Dance is a spiral approach to language arts. Initially you will see huge progress in each child’s writing. As the students in your room learn how to “hunk” and “chunk” the carry over into Reading will be an easy one. The Phonics Dance gives young children one more strategy to use in their journey towards literacy. Dancing all the way of course.
