I am very excited at how well each scholar is doing with his/her skill set. The phonograms chosen in your child's skill set is based on phonograms missed during our Bi-weekly assessment, weekly written phonogram test, and newly introduced phonograms. The words chosen are based on the Ayer's list words we have for spelling words and have written in our pink Spalding notebook. The sentence incorporates the words to increase fluency and accuracy of written text.
If your child continues to struggle with the same phonograms, or even a newly introduced phonogram, here are a few tips: 1. Practice phonograms 2. Make 2 piles: 1 of correct phonograms 1 of missed or struggling phonograms 3. With the pile of missed/struggling phonograms: 1. Flash card 2. Hide card 3. Ask your child to write the phonogram as he/she says the sound 4. Flash card and have your child correct if needed. You could also write it separately saying the sound and have your child check and correct. You may do this activity in a variety of ways: whiteboard with dry erase marker construction paper with crayon, colored pencil, or marker individual index cards Writing phonograms leads to reading phonograms in isolation, then to reading words and text. However, do not overload your child with missed phonograms. Practice no more than 15 per day. Each day in class I dictate 15 phonograms so they are receiving practice daily. Also, use the Bi-Weekly assessment and weekly written phonogram test to guide which phonograms your child needs additional help with. You could also give your child a practice written phonogram test weekly. You can dictate 3-5 sounds, check for accuracy then continue with 3-5 more and so on, or dictate all 10-15 and check and correct. Hope this helps!! Please let me know how it is going and feel free to share any strategies you have used with your child that is proving to be successful. I am always eager to hear of new strategies! Reminders:
