How do I introduce or integrate the KMPs into my day?

KMPs are integrated into the daily routines of shared poetry and songs, and the Language Calendar. The phonemic and phonic focus during the routines determines the KMPs to be highlighted. In First Grade and beyond, the KMPs are integrated into spelling to highlight word features. Specialists support and extend the PIM work individually.

How do you choose the poems and songs? And, what is the order of sounds that you focus upon?

I choose the poems for phonemic and phonic targets and to support curricular themes. The poems are authentic and fun! They expose ALL children to grade level standards for sounds and spellings. Curriculum maps and spelling assessments determine the order of presentation.

Where would I put my Language Calendar? How long to you keep in up?

My Language Calendar is front and center! I write and illustrate on large computer-sized paper; the entries remain up for the whole month and are collated at the end of the month. Anyone who enters the room notes that they can read about our life in our classroom.

Teachers say that children’s early writing is affected dramatically when using PIM. Can you explain?

The Daily Language Calendar is the glue that holds the system together. The children and I construct a sentence or story together and I think aloud as I write. The emphasis is on the message and the KMPs guide the hearing of the sounds. The daily routine of writing is modeled, shared and ultimately taken on independently in their journaling.

How do you get parents to understand what they children are doing?

A copy of a letter to parents is ready in the manual. However, sharing the purpose of PIM at Open House and in newsletters is important. My experience speaks to the fact that the children own it and take it home to share. It is similar to taking an art project home. Parents report that their children love to share the KMPs and the stories.
