I honestly appreciate these videos so much! Watching all of them in order. This is helping me shift the balance. Thank you very much for your effort putting these together! ☺️

These ideas are so helpful! Thanks so much for putting this series together!

Thank you for this series! This has been so informative. I was dreading going back to school after the break but now I am eager to use these new strategies! Eager for the next videos! ❤

Thanks for the information towards reading and how us as teachers can break down the reading process

I'm a follower of your store. You're so experienced and create wonderful materials, like this video. Many good things here to help teachers shift away from how teachers were taught to teach back in the day. As an experienced teacher, I would like to share some thoughts and clarify a few things from your video. #1 You say that decodable texts for guided reading levels A-F are contrived and boring. That's not so with the decodable stories in the Hooked On Phonics set that I bought used off Craigslist and taught my own two kids to read, starting at age 4, when they already knew the alphabet. Both my kids could read before kindergartenfrom this program. I'm trained in Wilson Fundations which is Orton Gillingham-based. OG reading programs come from research on dyslexia in the early 1900s, and was kind of like the original Science of Reading. And the science hasn't changed. OG programs teach phonics, phonological awareness, decoding, and encoding. In Wilson, students are also taught multisensory methods like to tap out each sound in the words and to mark each sound, like marking a digraph differently than a blend, and marking short vowels differently than long vowels. And even Wilson's stories are 99% not contrived, in my opinion. (Unfortunately, Wilson doesn't have daily or weekly stories; the quantity of stories is small. Yet, the program still works to teach students how to read and how to write through 6th grade, or maybe 8th. I don't teach that high.) #2 Since decodable books are books that are written with a focus on a particular phonetic pattern or word family, when we feel inspired to write our own decodable stories to use or sell, yes, the stories often are contrived and we feel the need to add in words with phonetic patterns that we didn't teach, yet, like reading a CVC book or other skill decodable that you wrote with the word "home", a CVCe word that wasn't taught, yet. It is no easy feat. You said your work-around is to do an impromptu mini-lesson and teach that CVCe skill before your curriculum unit on CVCe words, in the middle of reading a text. That's fine to do, but, the other scenario is to use decodables that ONLY contain words of known word families that were already taught, and separate out the other words as "High Frequency Words" to teach PRIOR to the story. For example, Hooked on Phonics has two types of pages prior to every decodable story. There's a page with words in the new word family, and another list of high frequency words that will be found in the story. No other words are in the story at all. That is what makes it decodable. Wilson Fundations and Wilson Reading also separate out and teach the words prior to a story. Daily lessons and homework contain the "New words" or new word family skill, and contain "Trick Words" which are the HFW such as: a, the, like, as, etc... I love that you made this video to help teachers make the shift to cuing students to the phonemic skills going on in the stories instead of the pictures. I just like preparing students to feel successful on an emotional level, by having been introduced them to the new words, first (as in Hooked on Phonics and Wilson), and not having to stumble on new words when they get a new passage to read. And I think teachers trained in MSV cuing might not recognize a true decodable story, at first. That's why I'm writing this comment. #3 I was an apprentice under a 3 cuing reading specialist back in the 1990s. One of her cues was to say, "Make your mouth say the first sound". When I'm doing reading intervention, I, now, do something similar that works with kids who are diagnose with a processing disorder or dyslexia. They are often 2 or more years behind- really struggling. They kind of race with their eyes, and come up with what they THINK the sentence says, instead of focusing on the actual words, the VISUAL cue you mentioned in your video. So, when the student stumbles on a word and just rattles off 10 different possibilities without focusing on the letters, I say, "Make your mouth say the first sound," or ,"Make your mouth say what's there. Is that a digraph or a blend?" Then, they stop. Stop guessing, and move their mouth to form a sound that matches the letters they see. It really works.

Marie Clay: Reading Recovery New Zealand

[@RebeccaRedWolf]

I was trained as a Reading Recovery teacher and I definitely taught students how to decode words. It is an essential strategy. However, almost half of the words in English cannot be systematically decoded. So I encouraged my students to read strategically and check whether the words they were reading actually made sense to them in the context of the sentence and the whole story. To only teach students decoding is to limit the reading strategies they can learn and use to be readers who actually understand what they are reading and use it to construct knowledge. Structured literacy has to take place within a meaningful context!
