Class experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
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, which is included in the Science of Reading research.
The Simple View of Reading is:
Decoding (D) x...4 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Review Consonant, Vowels, and DigraphsIn this lesson learners will get a chance to review consonant, single and in blends, short vowel sounds and digraphs. This activity is important for letter/sound fluency that will be needed to crack the code. The trigraphs -tch and -dge will also be introduced.Week 2Lesson 2Let's Review some More and Add Ending BlendsIn the lesson learners will be introduced to ending blends with a focus on the -ng and -nk blends.Week 3Lesson 3The Blending Board and DictationIn this lesson learners will apply their new and old skills in reading nonsense words and spelling through words and sentences.Week 4Lesson 4Introduction to SyllabicationThis lesson is one of my favorites to teach. In this lesson learners will learn the steps to syllabicate multi syllable words. When learners can do this, a whole new world of reading opens up to them.
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.
