      For the love of a story, learn to read!

      Picture%20004.jpg

      Some students learn to read because of us. Others learn to read in spite of us. The purpose of this book is to give some handles to the student who needs assistance getting launched in the act of reading.

      The tempo usually starts slowly and then picks up as the student gains skills and confidence. Show that you value reading and writing by getting caught in the act of doing these activities. Enjoy reading new and old favorite children’s books with your student daily.

      Increase your student’s vocabulary by talking up to him/her. Try to use specific vocabulary. Be sure it is age appropriate.

      Some General Comments for Decoding

      1.  Learn which lowercase letters the student knows. Use the enclosed page. Start with the lowercase letters. Most of the words that the student decodes are written in lowercase letters. The student should give the name of the letter, name of a picture that starts with that letter and the first sound of the picture. (Work on short vowel sounds first.)

      A suggested list of pictures for the letters has been included.

      2.  Learn the Alphabet Song. Have student point to each letter as you sing it together. Learn a portion of the alphabet. Then add on a few more letters until the entire alphabet is mastered. (You can do both capital and lowercase letters at the same time.)

      3.  Master a small group of unknown letters at a time. Make multiple copies of each letter. Do about five letters at a time. After they are mastered, bundle them and set aside for review. Start with lowercase letters.

      (See specific steps at #5.) Go back frequently to review. Work on the capital letters after the lower case letters have been learned.

      4.  Make an alphabet book. Make one page for each letter. Write the capital and lowercase letter at the top along with a clue picture having the first sound of the letter. See enclosed page for clue pictures. Work on hard c as in cat and hard g as in goat. Add pictures to each page. (Work on short vowels in this book. Might want to leave blank pages for the long vowels to do later.)

      Some Specific Steps

      5.  Present the cards individually. Student tells the name of the letter, gives the picture and then gives the first sound of the picture. Remember that the sound should be short and only give the first sound! Student keeps the cards that he/she responded to correctly; and teacher keeps the ones that need to be mastered. Make it gameful. It reduces stress! (Can do this in a small group situation.)

      6.  Move to telling name, saying pictures in head and then saying first sound. (Can do this while doing the activity stated in step 4.)

      7.  Finally, move to having the student name the letter and picture in head and then give the first sound orally.

      8.  Learn high frequency words as sight words or phonetically. On a large poster board, print these high frequency words multiple times randomly. Circle the phonetic words. Underline the word I and the letter r in the word are; say those letter names to say those two words.

      Dictate sentences leaving out the high frequency words. Say blank for the missing words. The student gives the missing word each time and locates each one on the poster board. (Do a few words at a time.)

      HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS/SIGHT WORDS

      You can add other words to these lists when they become frequent in the readings. Also make these words in the plural. Eventually, make cards with the words starting with a capital letter.

      Create a deck of picture cards. Students don’t need to know how to read their spellings yet. However, print the word on the back for future use. Also make some punctuation mark cards.

      Using tagboard, make a pocket chart to put on the bulletin board or on an easel. Give students
