Silabario con 320 sílabas y 5 anchor charts. Muestra sílabas en orden aleatorio.
By Ms Garcia Store
El más completo silabario que puedas encontrar, 320 sílabas, diseñado para trabajo en grupo o de forma individual:
126 sílabas directas
80 sílabas inversas
65 sílabas trabadas
41 diptongos e hiatos
8 triptongos
Este silabario interactivo es una presentación de PowerPoint muy intuitiva y facil de usar.
Cada sílaba se muestra sobre las líneas de escritura.
A la izquierda de la sílaba se muestran las distintas categorías mencionadas anteriormente. Al hacer click sobre estas, las sílabas se mostrarán en orden aleatorio. Mostrándolas aleatoriamente puedes jugar con tus alumnos a que te lean o escriban las sílabas que van apareciendo. De hacer click en el botón 'menú', accedes al silabario completo, donde podrás seleccionar la sílaba que quieras.
A la derecha de cada sílaba siempre hay tres botones:
En cada uno de estos anchor charts se tiene la opción, no la obligación, de dar al botón de audio para escuchar la lección, muy útil en caso de estar el alumno trabajando por su cuenta.
Sobre la sílaba siempre aparecen los botones de acceso directo a las sílabas familiares a esa sílaba. Así, de estar viendo la sílaba 'me', tendremos los botones de acceso a las sílabas ma, me mi mo y mu, a las que podras acceder con un simple click. De pasar el ratón por encima, sin necesidad de pulsar, podrás oir cómo se dice cualquiera de ellas, o escuchar la secuencia de las cinco sílabas seguidas.
Importante:Este silabario interactivo para PowerPoint tiene Macros que permiten mostrar las diapositivas de forma aleatoria, pero si no confías en ellas, o no estás habituado al uso de este tipo de archivos (pptm), te recomiendo que te conformes con la primera versión del silabario, que es exactamente igual a esta versión salvo por la opción de mostrar las sílabas en orden aleatorio, y no tiene Macros.
La realización de este recurso ha sido dura, pero también ha sido gratificante ver el resultado de tan buena herramienta. Espero que la aprecien y que les ayude tanto con sus estudiantes como me está ayudando con los míos.
