Great question! Honestly, it depends on the students. Some kids need more time on foundational skills like phonemic awareness and phonics to build strong reading abilities, while others benefit more from multisensory approaches to keep them engaged and reinforce learning in different ways.
For teaching phonemic awareness, I love using sound manipulation games—like breaking apart and blending words with claps or using letter tiles to physically move sounds around. Phonics, on the other hand, works great with interactive activities like word-building races or using sand trays for writing letters while saying the sounds out loud.
Mixing in movement, visuals, and even rhythm-based activities (kinda like getting into the flow of Geometry Dash, where timing and coordination matter) makes learning stick better. Gotta keep things fun and engaging!
