Students who struggle with traditional phonics readers need explicit instruction and experience with less complex phonological awareness skills. The Onset Rime and Word families is a reading strategy separating the first sound from the rest of the word as a decoding strategy that sets students up for success in more complex tasks of sounding out each sound. Gaps in learning are addressed through instruction that requires verbal rehearsal, tracing, self-checking, decoding, copying, spelling, and

Students who struggle with traditional phonics need explicit instruction in earlier developing phonics skills that provide consistent phonological and orthographic patterns. Onset and Rime with Word Families provides this to struggling students with practices that reinforce connections between and within phonological awareness, orthographic awareness, vocabulary and grammar. These constituents of word recognition are paired with learning practices that include verbal rehearsal, copying, tracing,

Students who struggle with traditional phonics despite adequate instruction and opportunities need explicit instruction in the earlier developing phonological awareness skills. The onset rime and word families curriculum is unique in that it marries consistent phonological patterns to orthographic patterns in lessons that include rhyming, segmentation, tracing, copying, rehearsal and recall.

Students who are struggling with reading and spelling (Tiers 2 & 3) may have difficulty learning the names, shapes, and inherent characteristics of alphabet letters. Mastery is essential because these are fundamental building blocks to literacy and the alphabet sequence is a navigational life skill. Teaching the Alphabet to Struggling Students (Tiers 2 & 3) is the first in my line of products designed to fill gaps in both instructional practices and phonics curriculum designed especially fo

Phonemic discrimination is the phonological awareness skill central to most traditional phonics curriculum. When students don't respond to traditional phonics instruction, parents and educators may presume that more time with traditional phonics will eventually resolve the struggle. Parents and educators benefit from understanding that phonological awareness is a hierarchy of developmental skills. It's important that students at risk for dyslexia - including those children already identified w

Many students struggle with letter reversals, especially when they feel too rushed to self-check their efforts (aka self-regulation). Simple previews and environmental changes can significantly improve focus, attention, and self-regulation, saving precious time that can be reallocated to instruction and practice. These are tried and true methods I've used to help nudge the Student with Dyslexia toward best practices for beginners as well as those students in need of the extra support.

Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes it hard to learn how to read and write. Phonics can mitigate the effects of dyslexia, but are not sufficient to resolve dyslexia. Increasing lexical quality and coordinating executive functioning is a comprehensive solution for Students with Dyslexia who struggle with traditional phonics curriculum.

Knowing where to start with phonics instruction is critical to the student's success.
