Teacher Remarks
I feel much more comfortable with teaching the
program to my students.
Teachers of all grade levels working together on
a school-wide instructional program and
assessment process was most helpful.
I appreciate the other teacher input. I am
excited to see our school continue with the
Phonic Dance.

PEERS Phonics Dance
The video presentations worked best during this
project. These showed us physical evidence of
how to do different ideas from the phonics dance.
Most helpful from this program was the TIME to
collaborate with co-workers on various topics.
I think it would be helpful to observe others
using the program in other grade levels.
Kindergartens are able to move quicker through
the alphabet with success.
