Zip Zoom English

  English-language learners is proven to develop
  and build
• Oral language and vocabulary in English
• Phonemic awareness and phonics
• Sight word recognition and beginning reading
  skills

Build Oral Language
Speakers of English come to school knowing
thousands of words which they will be using to
read and spell in order to communicate
effectively. But beginning-level
English-language learners need to be taught that
same vocabulary before they can participate in
phonics and reading instruction. Otherwise they
are just word callers- decoding but having no
comprehension of what they are reading. Zip Zoom
carefully introduces vocabulary necessary for
English-language learners and teaches high
meaning and high frequency words which will
accelerate and facilitate their learning of
English. With this need for formal instruction in
vocabulary in mind, each Zip Zoom lesson begins
with building oral vocabulary through Read-Aloud
trade books followed by a presentation of lesson
vocabulary through the Word Picture Books.

Sounds Letters
Once students have received instruction in
vocabulary, they will proceed with instruction in
Phonemic Awareness and Phonics skills. Each
lesson in Zip Zoom English targets selected
letters and sounds. In class, students
participate in teacher lead songs and chants that
highlight the targeted sound/letter followed by
teacher lead direct instruction on the same
sound/letter. This is done through the Song
Chant Poster Book and audio CD.

Reading
Readingisnt that why all children come to
school? To learn to read? Well the final lessons
in Zip Zoom bring together the vocabulary,
phonemic awareness and phonics skills taught in
the Zip Zoom lessons to enable students to decode
and read short little books called Critical-Word
Readers. These little books were designed
especially for English-Language Learners and
contain carefully controlled vocabulary which
includes the use of high meaning and high
frequency words which were taught in the Zip Zoom
lessons. Students receive direct instruction in
class on the little books as well as in the Zip
Zoom software Book Blast.
