The strategy to teach emergent literacy skill by using Power point FOR TEACHING (B) :
o present the PowerPoint slide sequences used to teach phonemic awareness (e.g., /b/ in ball).
o Each slide and its graphics are accompanied by text of what the teacher says .
o allow for student responses and reinforcement.
o Using First six PowerPoint slides used to teach ‘b’ sound. Then, present new graphics elements (e.g., ball, door, pen, cake)
o Final sequence of PowerPoint slides used to teach ‘b’ sound.
o After the instructional phase in using the PowerPoint™ slides, a series of assessment slides would be presented to the students
o evaluate whether skills have been acquired. If not, the teacher can then reteach the content.
