Teachers learn how to make the alphabet letters come to life for their students in a playful environment. The program begins with ear training games for children who are 2 or 3 years old. In Book 1 and Book 1A, humorous stories and pictures about “Dave Fun” and his family link the sounds and shapes of the lower and uppercase letters. Singing the alphabet songs for each book, together with actions, pictures, and games, all reinforces learning. In Book 2 Dave discovers word building three letter words through rhymes and songs. Teachers will also learn how to help children enjoy using Workbook 1 and 2. Children love this program. It is ideal for students whose first language is not English. Upon completion of the workshop all participants will receive a certificate. For teachers with ECE, their certificate will give them 3 hours towards recertification.

This workshop is for parents who wish to help their child improve their reading. Children who read well are far more likely to do well in all academic subjects. In this workshop I show parents how to teach their children the phonic structures of our language such as ch, er, oi, ow. Then the children read a story that practices using the phonetic structure. To make this an interesting and fun experience I have invented Fun Family Fair where each Phonetic play group is a different play area of the Fair. Music is a great teaching tool. I have set each play area of the fair to a sing along song. All the materials are included in the price of the workshop. In the workshop I will show you how to use those materials to make learning fun. Here are the materials that come with the workshop: 1) Fun Family Fair Book 3 . This book has a foldout picture of Fun Family Fair which you can take out of the book and use as you teach 2) CD of Sing along songs from Fun Family Fair and the words for each of the 15 songs.( if you do not have a CD player, iI will send these songs to your computer) 3) 98 Fun Family Fair Story Book (Each story contains many words to practice the phonetic structure you have just taught.) 4) Audio lesson for each of the 98 Fun Family Fair stories. This is designed to improve fluency and also pronunciation for second language learners. (I will send this to your computer) 5) Notes for the workshop. If your child has not been in a school that has used my Fun Family Phonics Book 1 to learn the sounds of the alphabet letters, I recommend that you also purchase Book1. You should read the stories to you child so that they become familiar with the characters that come again in Fun Family Fair.
