自然拼讀法培養閱讀流暢性

This ongoing class is designed to help learners practice phonics skills and build reading fluency. Each class will have the same general format but will cover a different phonics skill (digraphs, trigraphs, diphthongs, blends, prefixes, and suffixes). Learners who will be successful in this class already know all of their letter sounds, are able to write all of their letters independently to form words, and have started to practice blending sounds to read words. 

Class structure:
Welcome
*Warm up (activity: word ladders/build a word using word families)
*Introduce and teach phonics sound of the week: A new phonics sounds will be introduced to learners using a mini-lesson that follows the I do, you do, we do format. I will introduce the sound, we will practice saying the sound together, we will practice reading words with the new sound together, and then learners will practice reading words with the new sound on their own. 
*Meaningful reading passage that utilizes our sound of the week with comprehension questions
*Writing practice: Learners will practice writing words that use our target sound as well as a sentence related to our reading passage.
*Goodbye/Exit Ticket: Learners will read a list of words with our target sound for fluency practice. 

Phonics sounds will be introduced and taught directly and then learners will be given opportunities to practice applying their knowledge of each new phonics concept throughout the remainder of the lesson.
