Embedded Picture Mnemonics Webinar Recording

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.
