Class experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - Kindergarten
This 4 lesson self paced course is a deeper dive into my one-time class, Phonics Instruction for the Closed Syllable in my Crack the Code series. This class includes extra activities for letter and sound work and learning about High Frequency words that break the syllable type rule.
My Crack the Code series focuses on the decoding side of the Simple View of Reading.
The Simple View of Reading is:
Decoding (D) x Language Comprehension (LC) = Reading Comprehension (RC)

Week 1Lesson 1What is a Syllable?In this lesson learners will gain understanding of what is a syllable. Syllables are words or word parts with one vowel sound. The learner will also review consonant and vowel sounds along with digraphs and beginning and ending blends. This lesson will also introduce the most common syllable type, the Closed Syllable.Week 2Lesson 2More About the Closed Syllable TypeIn this lesson learners will continue to practice beginning and ending blends. An introduction to the Blending Board activity will be included in this lesson with some materials and instructions on how to create your own blending board to practice with at home.Week 3Lesson 3Using Dictation to Strengthen the Closed SyllableIn this lesson learners will apply their knowledge of the closed syllable to write words and sentences.Week 4Lesson 4Irregular High Frequency Words that Break the Closed Syllable RuleIn this lesson learners will be introduced to orthographic mapping and how it can help them remember rule breakers or irregular pronunciations for the closed syllable.
Students will be taught the closed syllable type and how to recognize it quickly. Once they can recognize it, they will know how to use the correct vowel sound when decoding unknown words in everyday life.
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.
