Introduce the focus sound as a school
Sound Waves 1/1/19
Please note: A new and improved Sound Waves Years 3–6 program is on its way for use in 2027! Information in our professional learning articles may differ in the updated edition.
Sound Waves has been carefully structured so that for any given week the focus sound is the same across Years 1 to 6. This consistency makes it easy to introduce the focus as a whole school.
Try these ideas at your school:
- Announce the focus sound in your newsletter or on your Facebook page.
- Have students perform the Chant and Action at assembly.
- Set up a box in your library where students can drop newspaper clippings of unusual words that feature the focus sound. Why not make this into a competition where the most unusual entry receives a prize?
