Description
These phonics based decoding activities are perfect for students who are learning to read and write words with the long a phonics pattern. Each decodable sheet includes decodable words, nonsense words, sentences, and a short story. The decodables are designed to move students from slowly blending words to a level where decoding is habitual and automatic.
The Research
I created these decodable sheets to improve fluency. According the the National Reading Panel, a few things are critical of good reading instruction.
•Explicit instruction in phonemic awareness
•Systematic phonics instruction
•Methods to improve fluency
Orton Gillingham states that fluency is built from automatic recognition of a word through repeated encounters. Average students need 4-14 repetitions to achieve automaticity. Struggling readers may need more than 20 repetitions to attain true automaticity.
How can I use these decodable readers in my classroom?
•Use with individual students.
•Learn the pattern in guided reading group. Then, use the sheets as a warmup (the first three-five minutes of group) all week.
•Send home with students as a tool to practice at home.
•Parent volunteers
Each decodable sheet includes:
•12 decodable words
•8 decodable nonsense words
•5 decodable sentences
•A short story
