Research shows that 84% of words in the English language are decodable. Why not teach children to decode, or read, using decodable readers? In each of the five sessions, students will use decodable readers to practice blending consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern words through phonics instruction. Phonics instruction is the process of teaching reading using letters and sounds. Decodable readers allow children to practice learned phoneme letter patterns in a systematic progression. Decodable readers also strengthen orthographic memory. As children are exposed repeatedly to letter sequences, their ability to recognize these patterns with accuracy and automaticity, leads to greater fluency and comprehension in later grades. The objective is to use phonics instruction to promote accuracy and automaticity with decodable readers. Each session will also focus on encoding or spelling each of the CVC patterns with short vowels. Among other activities, we will listen to short read-alouds and create animals out of Play-Doh and construction paper This class is for students who know their letters and sounds but still struggle with blending these sounds into words with accuracy and automaticity. Each session will include: Practicing short vowel sounds Week 1- short A Week 2- short O Week 3- short I Week 4- short E Week 5-short U Blending skills Reading a short decodable book Learning a few sight words Understanding content vocabulary Writing Playing Games Having Fun! Materials Paper, Pencil, Play-Doh, Colored Construction Paper
Learning Goals
Students will focus on decoding or reading cvc pattern words with an emphasis on a different short vowel each week using decodable readers.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Salem College
Hello! My name is Benita Brown. I teach reading through phonics instruction. I have an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Appalachian State University and a graduate degree in Language and Literacy from Salem College. I also have a National Board Certification in Reading Studies. I have an additional certification with the North Carolina School Improvement Project.
When I was a very little girl, my mother, a teacher, would bring home books from her school library for me to read. I loved to hold the books in my hands and feel the smoothness of the front and back covers. I loved to turn each page and look at the letters in black ink. When I would open the books and begin to read, I became lost in a world of fun, fantasy, and even fright as the words unfolded before me. There is nothing like the joy of settling down with a good book and becoming immersed in new stories and fresh ideas. I want to make sure that every child has the opportunity to not only learn to read but to learn to LOVE to read. I believe that learning to read can be accomplished with explicit instruction in phonics and decoding. Once the sound-to-symbol
(sound/letter relationship) connection becomes automatic, a child can learn to decode almost anything. When that happens, the brain is free to focus on the content of what is being read. In other words, when decoding is effortless, a child can read for meaning- and more importantly, enjoyment. Let me show your child how fun learning to read can be. Join me as I show your child the wonders that life has to offer by opening up the pages of a good book.Reviews
