Strategies for Teaching Irregular "Tricky" Words

[@emhar6858]

Thanks so much for this series - so very excited - I've been taught the MSL approach through Australian Dyslexia Association and everything you say marries with what we've been taught. Love the suggestions in this clip and can't wait to use them!

Thank you very much for this! My kids really struggle with the memorization of trick words and this makes so much more sense.

So well done. Watched your orthographic mapping, as well. So nice to watch a presentation without sections of the brain graphics and the yet-to-be-proven strategies to stimulate synapse connections. First question: In strategy 3 why would you point out/practice/exemplify /oul/ rather than the rime, "ould"? Wouldn't mapping the latter be more useful than the former? Second question: Doesn't some of the orthographic research support analytic phonics, as well as synthetic phonics approaches?

I am thinking /oul/ forms one sound /u/ (with the funny shape at the top.)

I read an old book that pointed out that "wa" is more often pronounced as in "wash" than as in "wax." "Wax" would actually be the "irregular" word :-)
