Orthographic mapping explainer

[@mindispenner3323]

Can you say a bit more about why Chunky Monkey was off base? I see the reasoning behind the rest. Why is it not good to look for chunks/phonemes they recognise? Keeping eyes on the word. This part confused me a bit. Just trying to understand I really appreciate this video. Thank you for creating it.

I thought the same, would love to know her reasoning.

Sorry Mindi, didn't get this until now! Yes I do understand why you would ask kids to look for 'chunks', but 'chunks' can mean anything. Why not state the names for the chunks instead? Digraphs/prefixes/bases/suffixes. Beats 'chunks' any day!

Still a classic! Thanks, Lyn, for the video, and for the recent reminder.

Lyn, This was so interesting to me! I've always had a problem with flashcards. I often felt it wasn't transferring and spent most of my time on making words. This video was new information for me and gives me so much more understanding about why making words/studying word parts is so important. Thank you!

Thank you, Kathy!

Thankyou for this clear presentation of these concepts. This is the best explanation I have come across.

[@LynStoneliteracy]

That's very kind of you to say so! Thank you.

I'm also wondering about your opposition to the chunking. Isn't this what Kilpatrick advises in what he calls "backward decoding?"

Thank you for this presentation. We are working towards helping to build this knowledge with teachers in my district. It is going to be very helpful.

[@LynStoneliteracy]

Glad to be of use! And doubly glad that there are people out there keen to build this knowledge with teachers. That way, we all win!

[@ruthwasilwa7184]

@@LynStoneliteracy I'm glad that someone somewhere has the same thoughts as mine! Thank you for sharing.

Great video! It makes me crazy when my tutoring students bring sight word lists and those awful "word solving" tip sheets from school. It seems like they almost had some useful advice with the "Chunky Monkey" tip. If they suggested that the child look for prefixes or suffixes that would have been helpful. So close, yet so far away.

I fear that the cute animals are to help under-educated teachers feel better about themselves rather than educating children.

[@suepoole1743]

That was very clear and concise. Thank you

Nice work, good communication skills. I took two language classes in my college, although I was not studying to become a speech pathologist
