Embedded Picture Mnemonics Webinar Recording
Last updated 2024/11/02
Description
Embedded picture mnemonics are a research-based way to teach children about letters and the sounds they represent. They are letters with a picture of a keyword embedded directly in them, such as the letter z made out of a zipper or the letter r made out of a road. Research indicates that students learn letter-sound correspondences better when they are taught with embedded picture mnemonics (Ehri et al., 1984).
ONlit’s embedded mnemonics were carefully created to support explicit instruction of foundational reading and writing. In this webinar, we highlighted the research behind picture mnemonics, unpacked our process for choosing key words, and explained how these resources can be used in Kindergarten and Grade 1 classrooms.

How were you able to write on the letter pages on the tablet?
Hi! Thanks for your comment. To write on the tablet, I saved the Google slides as a PDF and then uploaded them into Notability, an app on my iPad. This makes it possible for me to take notes and add their thinking to each letter. The kids really like this feature and it helps with engagement. I’m even able to print off the new mnemonic with their words on them which make great anchor charts.
