Puppetry Path Leading to Reading and Clappity Clap

Join Mother Phonics and her Puppet Children on a journey to learn the mysteries of phonetics!

Puppetry Path: Leading to Reading is a hands-on, multisensory approach to phonics that incorporates all three major learning styles: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic/tactile. Drawn from numerous well-known theories of learning and psychology—Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Gardner’s eight (and more) kinds of intelligence, and emotional intelligence—the text guides teachers in sculpting an environment ideal for learning. This playful, research-based pedagogical method ensures that students absorb the content material in a plethora of ways, resulting in a meaningful and engaging educational experience.

Puppetry Path: Leading to Reading:

• Utilizes rhymes and songs for memorable lessons that maximize the creation of learning pathways in students’ minds.
• Links new information to prior knowledge, stressing relevance, patterns, and meaning to build upon information processing cycles.
• Allows struggling readers to succeed with phonics because of the abundance of connections and the wealth of learning styles addressed.
