Support Students and Employees:
Research Based Educational Tools by Laura Zank
According to experts Hallie Kay Yopp and Ruth Helen Yopp,
"Phonemic awareness is one aspect of phonological awareness which is one component of metalinguistic awareness...Without this insight—without phonemic awareness—the symbol system is arbitrary. The task of dealing with the symbol system, then, can quickly become overwhelming...In sum, we encourage teachers to provide their students with linguistically rich environments in which written and spoken language are used to learn, to communicate, to express ideas, to understand the ideas of others and in which language itself is explored and examined—even the smallest parts of language"
Phonemic awareness, good thinking skills, comprehension, and play are key to literacy development and learning. That's why educator Laura Zank designs materials to engage children in the learning process. Her materials are not exclusive to the classroom. Tutors, parents, and employers can utilize the tools too to support learning at home and employee training.
Laura explained, "Sometimes I find myself looking at the teacher's manual and seeing a lot of basic recall questions and not questions that get my students to think about the story. That is when I can easily pop out my compact Question Cards and know that I am really teaching my students to think about the story. The cards, games and file folder games all give back to prep time, which as elementary teachers we are receiving less and less."
