It can feel overwhelming when a student comes to kindergarten with zero letter or sound knowledge. But I promise, there’s no need to panic. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I approach this situation with compassion, confidence, and a clear plan. Just because they don’t know their letters yet doesn’t mean they won’t. Most students just need time, exposure, and support. This episode shows you how to give them all three.In this episode I share:Why starting with name recognition and phonological awareness is keyWhat to actually focus on in those first few weeksHow I build foundational literacy skills in just 5–10 extra minutes a dayWhen to loop in families (and when it’s not necessary yet)Easy ways to track progress and offer extra supportRelated Episodes:Teaching the Alphabet - 6 Things To Do with Each Letter w/ Droppin' Knowledge with Heidi ~ Ep. 104How I Teach my Students Letter Names and Their Sounds ~ Ep. 54Engaging Families in Supporting Struggling Learners ~ Ep. 67Learn More:Empowering Educators with Effective Student Progress TrackingPhonological awareness versus phonemic awareness: what and how to teachResources:Year-Long Literacy Support for Small Group Instruction BUNDLE -Reading & WritingConnect with Zeba:Instagram - @kindergartencafeFacebook - @kindergartencafeWebsite - www.kindergartencafe.orgTik Tok - @kindergartencafeMentioned in this episode:Kindergarten EssentialsGrab the year-long, mega-bundle kindergarten activities here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Kindergarten-Teacher-Essentials-Year-Long-Mega-Bundle-Kindergarten-Activities-8356704
If you're deep in the alphabet trenches like I am right now, this episode is for you. I'm joined (again!) by Heidi from Droppin’ Knowledge with Heidi to talk all about how to teach letter sounds and letter names using research-backed best practices in ways that are practical and doable for real classrooms.Heidi is a national LETRS Early Childhood trainer and a former K–1 teacher, and she’s here to help us rethink some of the most common teaching habits around phonics instruction… like whether to teach letter names and sounds, why you should clip the sounds, how to avoid confusing keywords like “elephant” or “giraffe,” and what to do instead.*Make sure to stay to the end because we have a very important P.S. for you!!!In this episode we share:What the science of reading says about teaching letter names and letter soundsThe six components to include every time you teach a new letterWhy "B is for ba" might actually hurt blending and decoding later onWhether to teach letters in ABC order, or a different research-supported sequenceWhat embedded mnemonics are and why they help kids learn fasterSmall tweaks to your language (like switching "says" to "represents") that make a big differenceWhy repeated alphabet cycles work better than “letter of the week”Previous Episode with Heidi:Science of Reading 101 With Heidi from Droppin’ Knowledge ~ Ep. 81Resources:Tips for Teaching the Alphabet & ResearchConnect with Heidi:Instagram - droppinknowledgewithheidiWebsite - droppinknowledge.comConnect with Zeba:Instagram - @kindergartencafeFacebook - @kindergartencafeWebsite - www.kindergartencafe.orgTik Tok - @kindergartencafeMentioned in this episode:Caring Critters BooksFelipe the Feeling Frog: https://www.kindergartencafe.org/felipe/ Trixie the Thoughtful Turtle: https://www.kindergartencafe.org/trixie/

We’ll talk about how routines help kids feel safe, reduce anxiety, and build independence. And how you can stay motivated, even if you’re tired of singing the same songs every day.

But no matter whether you are already on summer break or soon to be, it is so important to create an intentional summer plan that balances rest, reflection, and preparation.

Did you just find out you are moving to Kindergarten? In this episode, I share my experience as a first-time kindergarten teacher, giving you some tips that helped me my first year. It can be pretty emotional when discovering your new teaching assignment and what helped me most was seeking mentorship from an experienced kindergarten teacher. Reviewing lesson plans helped me manage classroom activities and alleviate stress. Familiarizing myself with the teaching space and understanding the curriculum's big picture were also crucial steps I took to prepare. I advocate for three main actions: finding a mentor, organizing lesson plans, and assessing the teaching environment, while encouraging new teachers to embrace the journey ahead.
