Consonants, and Phonics Chunks Art Integrated into the Teaching of Reading
Art integrated into the teaching of reading is a great way to promote learning. Art increases interest, nurtures creativity and pride. It is good for brain development and can promote memory by involving the senses. Here Smartsy Reading Teacher is happy to share with you, some of our projects that integrate art. We (my helpers/students) and I will show arts/crafts projects for consonants, and “phonics chunks.” [Vowel art projects, here<<]
In random order, here is our art integrated into the teaching of reading. Separate posts will be given with explanations if the project seems slightly complex. Much of these will only need a few sentences I think, but if you have a specific question, please do not hesitate to ask. This blog is a passion in my life, so I will pay attention and respond as soon as I can.

For this project I cut a “v” neck shaped vest out of a paper sack and my granddaughter decorated it with strips of colorful streamers left over from a previous party:
