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)

In this course, we will start building the bridge to reading comprehension by focusing on the basics of decoding.  Once they have learned about a syllable type, they will go on word hunts in their favorite books and practice using their new decoding skills. This will help transfer their decoding skills to real life reading.

In each lesson, students will gain a deeper understanding of the Closed Syllable type (D).  Students will also be introduced to high frequency words (HFW) that look like they should follow the syllable patterns, but break the syllable rules.  They will be given strategies to help remember these words. Once students have finished a class presentations, other activities are included to help solidify their new skills. 

I will use an interactive Bitmoji classroom. to post the videos.  A video will be posted on how to use the classroom. 
Each lesson will contain a recommended sequence guide to help navigate the recommended order of activities and videos. The guide will also explain any extra activities to enhance the lessons.
