Crack the Code and Read Like a Hero: Phonics Instruction for the Closed Syllable
This class focuses on learning about the closed syllable pattern. It is the most common of the 6 syllable types. This is a foundational skill all readers need to master to be able to crack the code to reading so they can read like a hero.

This is one of my one-time classes that is part of my Crack the Code and Read Like a Hero series that focuses on the Simple View of Reading, specifically the decoding side, from the Science of Reading research.
The Simple View of Reading is:
Decoding (D) x Language Comprehension (LC) = Reading Comprehension (RC)
During our time together we will warm up with learning what a syllable is by counting syllables in words. Then we will learn about 1 syllable words with a closed syllable pattern. We will learn that all syllables need a vowel and in this pattern the vowel sound is short. We will review all the short vowel sounds and practice blending them with consonant sounds.
Next, we will learn how to label (decode) the closed syllable so we can recognize it and know what vowel sound to use when located in words. This is a foundational skill needed to be able to decode multi syllabel words in the future. At the end of the class we will play a Roll and Read game I created to practice reading the closed syllable pattern.
*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE REGISTRATION*
I will not teach this class if I have less than 2 students enrolled. If my schedule permits, I will re-list the class to give it more time for students to enroll and I can transfer your student to that class, or I can cancel it. I will talk with you before I make that decision.
However, THIS CLASS CAN BE MADE INTO A 1:1 SESSION FOR YOUR LEARNER FOR AN ADDITIONAL $10. Just contact me with your date and time and I will do my best to accommodate you.
Please feel free to message me with any questions, but I do work at a brick and mortar school during the day so answering messages will most likely be after those school hours. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. I am in the Central time zone.
I look forward to working with your child.
Thank you for your interest.Learning Goals

Supply List
The Roll and Read game is provided Students will need something to write with such as a white board and marker or paper and marker. White boards and markers work best if possible because it is easier to see on camera.

In my 28 years of teaching I have been trained in all kinds of different ways to teach students to read. This most recent method of teaching students to understand how and why letters make different sounds when put with other letters and placed in certain parts of the words has completely changed my way of thinking. I have seen huge gains in the students I work with in my brick and mortar school by teaching students the syllable types and how those syllable types work together to make bigger words. Reviews
