The figure out which letter makes the first sound. If there is hesitancy, supply the appropriate sound prompt to help your student’s recall. Then as child writes the appropriate letter - reference the people line or use the writing prompt to reinforce the program.
Multi-Syllable Words Sheet (#2)
To build confidence in decoding comes from approaching multi-syllable words in a simple step manner.
Directions:
In the brackets under the word syllables, write the correlated vowel with the short symbol over it. Then simple decode the first syllable and then the second. Then put them together to form the complete word.
Applying Xx Sounds
Directions:
Under each word, write the blended sound that the letter Xx is making.
#8 VOWELS
The placement in a word and or syllable often determines the sound that the Vowel will make. So, before decoding a word, first look at where the vowels are in it.
Usually,
in the front = Short Sound
in the middle = Short sound
in the end = Long Sound
Directions:
Look at where the vowel is in each of the words. Then decide whether it would make a long or short sound in that placement. The decode the words.
BONUS
Directions:
Write the letters on the lines above the hands that they are signing. Then see if you can decode the words. [Answers can be found in the Video.]
Directions:
Write the letters on the lines below their morse code symbols. Then see if you can decode the words. Remember, letters are separated by single slashes. Words are separated by double dashes [Answers can be found in the Video.]
Parent/Instructor Reference Materials
Progressive Word List (Up to Xx)
It is essential for securing a solid literacy foundation for students to only be provided words to decode words with only the letters that are correlated to where the program is.
At this moment in time, we are up to the Letters Xx. Prompts are to be used to effectively provide reasoning for greater retain and eventually speed; they also increase student confidence and remembrance. (DO NOT give answers not promote guessing). If a prompt isn’t quickly responded to with an answer- than that letter’s video needs to be watched and interacted with again.
