    LE Podcast #50: Moving Students From Letter Sounds to CVC Words: The Secret Sauce

    I want to share with you essential building blocks that can help your students move from letters to reading CVC words.  Before we begin, let’s start with some vocabulary we’ll use during these show notes today. Phonemic awareness - the ability to blend, segment, and manipulate phonemes.  This is oral and doesn’t involve letters or print. Phonemes - our smallest units of sound. Alphabetic principle - taking the sounds and connecting it to written letters.   The Checklist That Students Need Before Reading CVC Words These foundational skills must be in place if we want to support our students efficiently. Letter name knowledge - They have to be able to look at the letter and know the name and sound of that letter. Automaticity - Simply knowing their sounds isn’t enough.  Students must be able to say their letter sounds automatically, which is what will help them blend and decode words. Phonemic awareness - blending and segmenting is critical for our students. FULL SHOW NOTES HERE

    Structuring Literacy Blocks

    Scheduling literacy blocks and finding enough time in a day is an ever-present challenge in our classrooms.  How do we do it, and where do we start?  Today, we’ll go over some of the challenges we face, what to do about them, and how we can get in the time we need to teach literacy.   The Challenges of Literacy Blocks Not enough time Teachers are interrupted many times a day with student needs, broken copiers, announcements, and so on. There’s sometimes simply not enough time in our day to implement literacy blocks in the way we’d like. Overload of materials You may have a phonics program, fluency program, a comprehension program, etc.  All of these materials are simply too overwhelming.  And when we get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, what actually happens is that we don’t end up starting at all.  Over-adopting curriculum With the rise of the science of reading (yay!), many districts have adopted new curriculums.  Although the intention is good, this leads to an overwhelming amount of resources. When we over-adopt curriculum, start valuing quantity over quality. FULL SHOW NOTES HERE

    Letter Formation

    The Complexity of Letter Formation Letter formation is the foundation for literacy development. This is because practicing letter formation helps students with shapes and sounds of letters, which is important for foundational reading skills.   Students also need fine motor skills in order to accomplish appropriate letter formation.  Good letter formation needs good fine motor skills. Writing by hand engages the parts of the brain that enhance memory and learning.  When students are writing the letter and saying the sound, we’re helping them make the sounds stick.   One study found a significant correlation between letter recognition and handwriting fluency in students who were practicing their letter formation and had handwriting fluency.  This proves that children who practice writing letters become more familiar with their shapes and sounds. Another study showed that explicit instruction in letter formation is effective.  As educators, we need to guide students through the correct strokes, use correct visual aids, and even teach students chants so they can understand how to write each letter.    FULL SHOW NOTES HERE

    Alphabet Quest

    The Birth of Alphabet Quest During the pandemic, I was asked to leave my literacy coaching role and teach kindergarten.  When I went back to the classroom, I discovered that we were in desperate need of speeding up and enriching how we learned our alphabet. My time in the classroom was what birthed a really fun and effective idea I had:  Alphabet Quest!  Alphabet Quest is the idea of teaching the alphabet in an intense, systematic (and faster) way.  I returned to my literacy coaching role and introduced Alphabet Quest to my co-workers.   Instead of teaching one letter a week and spending 26 weeks inside the alphabet, Alphabet Quest was designed for children to learn their alphabet and letter sounds in only 5 weeks’ time.     FULL SHOW NOTES HERE
