I’m glad she deciphered “decodable text” because the term is so ambiguous and subjective. The term has always confused me a little, in the back of my mind, so it’s great to hear her challenge it. 😊
I think what this shows is the importance of teaching direct and explicit phonics to kids and in a repetitive nature, so that they can get a good handle on decoding words to help them become fluent readers. Without the skills decoding any text will be difficult for children. We must teach the phonics skills they need. I have a great question. Why has education shifted from spelling in language arts? I know for a fact that spelling is how I learned to read or decode words. Spelling and phonics goes hand in hand if you ask me. I could be wrong.
Good question! There has definitely been a shift in the last couple of years. I encourage you to read more about "Science of Reading." Here's a blog I recently wrote - learningattheprimarypond.com/blog/what-do-all-these-terms-mean-a-dive-into-the-science-of-reading/
Hi Alison, I was watching your videos and I'm trying to learn more about phonological awareness and blending sounds. I just taught the last 2 days of First-grade class. I noticed that my students are deficient in reading and I would like to help them improve more because the school year is almost over. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hey there! My decodable books include decodable words as well as high frequency words: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Learning-At-The-Primary-Pond-Alison/Category/Decodable-Books-Passages-505219
