MUST HAVE UNIT!

This unit will give you the reasons WHY the words are spelled the way they are and HOW they are orthographically mapped.

If you are looking to implement the Science of Reading to teach high-frequency words this is the bundle for you! It has been a year in the making as I tried the pages in primary classrooms and collaborated with teachers to make a product that gave high yield results. I made some important modifications along the way as I learned more about key teaching strategies, such as "look alike words". The results I saw was unbelievable! Students were learning to read the words and with targeted review they were using the words independently in their writing. Wow!

I have done a great deal of research and reading on orthographic mapping and I truly believe that mapping high-frequency words is the missing puzzle piece. For years I implemented a variety of strategies to help my students learn to read and write high-frequency words. Some students were able to memorized the words but rarely spelled them in their everyday writing. Upper elementary teachers continued to say that students were coming to them unable to spell words like said, come, and what.

What were we missing? Orthographic Mapping!

To learn high-frequency words with flash cards it requires 5-500 repetitions for students to learn them. With orthographic mapping it takes 1-4 mappings to learn the word. It is the "special sauce" to turn high-frequency words into sight words.

In this bundle I have done all the work for you. This unit is pack with 1174 pages and I assure that you will use it all!

I have included a phonics scope and sequence. I sorted all the high-frequency words by their phonics skill and further sorted them as decodable words or heart words.

Teacher Tip Pages: I have given a written explanation of how and why every word is spelled the way it is. I learned so much about the history of words! The teachers I worked with said these pages were absolutely invaluable in helping them to have a deeper (but quick) understanding of the spelling rules.

I have included 2-pages for each word that are for your students to complete while you are introducing each new word. It will give them several opportunities to hear the sounds in the word, map the word, see the spelling pattern, and find the word (I have used look alike words to ensure that students need to decode the whole word).

I have included several literacy definitions that I found helpful on my literacy journey that I felt would be useful for you. As well as a description of orthographic mapping and why it is such a successful way of teaching high-frequency words.

I have included the pages in 3 different files so that you can decide what suits your needs best.

(1) Phonics Scope & Sequence, Mapping Explanations, and Mapping Pages

* All the pages in order for you just to print and go in the best sequential order.

(2) Phonics Scope & Sequence and Mapping Explanations (no student pages)

* This file is best if you are limited on student copies and really just want a teacher resource book.

(3) Phonics Scope & Sequence, Mapping Explanations, and Mapping Pages in Alphabetical Order

* This file works best if you would prefer to follow your own scope and sequence and choose words more randomly. The words are quickly found in alphabetical order.

Please have a look at the preview. I have given you a snap shot of what you can expect when purchasing the unit. I assure you will not be disappointed!
