This is meant to be quick! If students make an error, correct the error and put the card at the back of the pile to flash again before moving on. There should be a mix of graphemes that our students have learned, but are not using (reading or writing) automatically. We will gradually add more graphemes as we provide explicit instruction, and we will remove graphemes once our students have mastered them. </li> 738</ul> 739</ul> 740<li><b>Auditory/Tactile practice</b></li> 741<ul> 742<ul> 743<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ_h7HJYQcCUs-D0rBKE7oI0ft9b-hM82BHSugIxe8XI2tyXafwbXNNNzzJCxtz5Ti1LIXqfzmIBiMcSO_wPPHxe360i9C0Ai-nbgC_U2vlcWtvtukXPvAMxVecxtfkqpFlyvBTCFr1-w/s1600/tactile+practice+Orton+Gillingham+three+part+drill+phonics+instruction.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1334" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ_h7HJYQcCUs-D0rBKE7oI0ft9b-hM82BHSugIxe8XI2tyXafwbXNNNzzJCxtz5Ti1LIXqfzmIBiMcSO_wPPHxe360i9C0Ai-nbgC_U2vlcWtvtukXPvAMxVecxtfkqpFlyvBTCFr1-w/s200/tactile+practice+Orton+Gillingham+three+part+drill+phonics+instruction.jpg" width="200" /></a> 744<li>during this drill, (without showing our students any visual) we produce the phoneme, and the students produce the grapheme in rice, sand or on a felt square. Additional auditory support for our students comes from hearing themselves and peers re-produce the sound for the grapheme after writing it. If students make an error, correct the error and immediately have them re-write the correct grapheme, and produce the correct phoneme. </li> 745</ul> 746</ul> 747<li><b>Blending practice</b></li> 748<ul> 749<ul> 750<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Orton-Gillingham-3x5-Phoneme-Grapheme-Card-Pack-1923874" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="745" data-original-width="750" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0wGWfBV7Bvm8T_EH_3vVf-OnRfl4MpjeEZMUf4Ry8dyR5nm_IYUAjahwG4c9rELNKLsyLxwFOOU8uCqnT7W4QHQyAllzhgGaAkyMop4bFidxQW5_bc8XmO77biXcBkqfks715e8clEU/s200/phoneme+grapheme+cards+in+blending+binder+to+practice+real+and+nonsense+words+in+small+group+literacy+block.png" width="200" /></a> 751<li>
751during this <a href="http://www.thymetoread.com/2019/03/all-you-need-to-know-about-orton.html" target="_blank">drill</a>, we show a string of initial, medial and final graphemes, and together with our students blend real/nonsense words/syllables. When introducing this routine, I always start with "I do" examples - this allows me to set my expectation - students do not make the phoneme without me tapping the grapheme. This gives me a moment to check the word for "rule breaking". For example, we do not want our students to blend the word KAT, because K is not the initial letter when A is the medial vowel. (Check out the <a href="https://brainspring.com/ortongillinghamweekly/multisensory-monday-c-k/" target="_blank">Cat/Kite</a> rule)</li> 752<li>Once expectations have been set, and students know to only make the sounds when I have given the signal, I change ONE grapheme at a time so students can build up some familiarity. This ends up being very similar to a chaining activity. </li> 753</ul> 754</ul> 755</ol> 756</div> 757<h2> 758How do we teach a new concept?</h2> 759The three part routine is perfect for quick practice and spiral review. It keeps concepts current and we control the practice, giving our students exactly what they need, when they need it. When we introduce a new phonics skill, we need to provide explicit practice before including it in the three part routine.<br /> 760<br /> 761<ol> 762<li><b>Phoneme/Grapheme Discovery </b></li> 763<ul> 764<ul> 765<li>We can say three words that include the new concept (m<u>ai</u>l, p<u>ai</u>nt, ch<u>ai</u>n), and ask the students what sound the words share (they all say A). Then we can write the same words on the board, and ask the students to begin to make a phoneme/grapheme association (AI says A). This would also be the time to introduce a <a href="http://www.thymetoread.com/2019/02/easily-improve-phonics-instruction-with.html" target="_blank">concrete object</a> to help solidify your students understanding a little more. </li> 766</ul> 767</ul> 768<li><b>Guided dictation practice</b></li> 769<ul> 770<ul> 771<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Thyme-To-Read/Category/Interactive-Mini-Books-284919" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="748" data-original-width="750" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsylGkoSuhT2jsVXxmv6xJ4EkF5pitBdhbc7OIFdi2VG-5xxEGZi8HOlzWYXAsLvJ5hEmufDcUEMkQebLXG8CidSxPONOQ6Y3fwTRQgwWaCNZCZQ6jz0bD_t5jDDoZZ5FDCeLGHkX35H0/s200/dictation+using+phonics+interactive+notebook+for+practice+during+ELA+phonics+block+small+group+instruction.png" width="200" /></a> 772<li>This can be repeated as needed, and I like to mix it up by occasionally including words from review spelling patterns. I do NOT give "gotcha" words like wait and play UNLESS I have explicitly taught that AI is a beginning and medial phoneme/grapheme and AY is a final phoneme/grapheme. </li> 773<li>During this part of instruction, we use a gradual release model (I do with think aloud, we do, you do) to write words that follow the new concept (paid, sail, stain, waist, etc.). We can even dictate a full sentence so students have a chance to practice correct conventions. </li> 774</ul> 775</ul> 776<li><b>Guided reading practice</b></li> 777<ul> 778<ul> 779<li>We can give our students words to read. Early in the week, I will show my students a word on a flash card/or written on the board. Then, I have them tell their hand a secret. One the count of three they let the word go and say it out loud. This allows students who are not quite comfortable yet some time to become more familiar with the new skill. By mid week we tell our "secret" to a neighbor, there is a little more accountability there AND the skill has been added to our three part routine. By the end of the week, I may call on some students to read words/sentences aloud. </li> 780<li>This is also the time to provide our students with systematic decoding practice by teaching syllable types. You can learn more about the <a href="http://www.thymetoread.com/2017/07/how-to-teach-decoding-by-teaching.html" target="_blank">seven different syllable types</a>
780 from this post/video.</li> 781<li>During this time, we also introduce a phonetically controlled text. This is so our students can get more authentic practice (beyond words and sentences). These phonetically controlled readers provide our students with the opportunity to read a text that has only the patterns they have been taught. We are asking them to foremost rely on the spelling and sound patterns to read. </li> 782<ul> 783<li>Side note: leveled readers rely more on inferential learning (or the use of context to learn to read). We often say with our littles to look at the pictures, or read around a tricky word. With phonetically controlled text, the hope is that pictures and context clues are not needed. </li> 784</ul> 785</ul> 786</ul> 787<li><b>Centers</b></li> 788<ul> 789<ul> 790<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Digraph-Literacy-Centers-3337969?utm_source=TTR%20Blog&utm_campaign=Proven%20Strategies%20Phonics%20Blog" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1334" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJsnIamzDurJEQIm5Y1qSkmaCRmgQDn8tsY4UlwgLyaRRfc48TtauH9RRhyphenhyphenLnkP9Cm7Z04oGs0ua-YHK62f379kuP9qreT5wGwn53eHc0TI-GpIc-mv-hbBCfYRG59LOzfYSw8ZDCznEQ/s200/centers+to+reinforce+phonics+instruction+during+a+systematic+phonics+block.jpg" width="200" /></a> 791<li>When introducing a new concept we want to give our students some exposure time before expecting them to apply it.

When using these routines with your whole class, you teach what the majority (80%) of your students need practice with. If you are held to strict scope and sequence, your skills will come from there. When you are differentiating in your small group, you teach what the majority (80%) of THOSE specific students need. If you have made your small reading groups based on reading level, it is possible you will see correlation between reading level and phonics need. However, I like to use a quick <a href="https://www.reallygreatreading.com/diagnostics" target="_blank">diagnostic decoding survey</a> (this one is a free download) to help organize my reading groups (K-2) by phonics need. By differentiating your instruction in small groups like this, you can provide more exposure and practice for the students who need it a second time around.<br /> 799<br /></div> 800<div> 801<div style="text-align: center;"> 802What else do you want to know about starting up a phonics block in your classroom?</div> 803</div> 804<div> 805<br /> 806<div style="text-align: center;"> 807SAVE FOR LATER:</div> 808<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 809<a href="https://pin.it/tgg4iiyc6ic37r" target="_blank"><img alt="how to incorporate a phonics block into the primary classroom using a multisensory orton gillingham approach" border="0" data-original-height="1322" data-original-width="882" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCAH7Lx3IerUGJBEGhyREmmvpM1J4IpAtPCV_bHcxbQV2HaOedvHsHHJl59ZVc-RtdoHFZppFtm_Fkv0iUETrq50vNNFaAZkpiusZLNmDEXO3Bhkvwt4esEjy6SsmagJFRWLLggFMYBA/s400/how+to+incorporate+a+phonics+block+into+the+primary+classroom+using+a+multisensory+orton+gillingham+approach.jpg" title="how to incorporate a phonics block into the primary classroom using a multisensory orton gillingham approach" width="265" /></a></div> 810<div style="text-align: center;"> 811<br /></div> 812</div> 813<br /> 814<i>Together everyone accomplishes more.</i><br /> 815<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ3Err6Fj7N22PsuzdbqpFhABg4sOS8IY1oi5q753cXnIOyKxqm91-laN2CZFM4p1MSqHQRnOsR7yhR33bybp56V5cJEApJpGM_PV7gQxyV8tnhOlIeen8aobQX9LUsbO1H_FFV_q7uv0/s1600/Signature.png" /><br /> 816<br /> 817</div> 818<div CLASS='cls'> 819<div CLASS='cl'> 820<span CLASS='post-comment-link'> 821<i class='fa fa-comment'></i>

I love how flexible it is. It can take five minutes...or if we are coming back from a long weekend, and my students need some solid review, we can practice longer. I can even do parts of the routine in line. I have complete control of the phonemes/graphemes that my students are practicing. That darn 'qu' is just not automatic yet for some of my first grade readers, and so it remains in our three part routine, including our blending binder.</div> 871<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 872<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="31" data-original-width="1373" height="14" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s640/Untitled.png" width="640" /></a></div> 873<h2> 874What is a Blending Binder?</h2> 875<div style="text-align: left;"> 876Very simply, it is a three ring binder filled with index card sized consonant and vowel graphemes. The binder helps to keep the cards organized and easy to use for the last drill of the three part phonics routine. </div> 877<div style="text-align: left;"> 878<br /></div> 879<h2> 880How do I Set it Up?</h2> 881<div style="text-align: left;"> 882I think the easiest way to set up our binder is to start with two sets of phoneme/grapheme cards. The <i>first pack</i> is a set of <i>flash cards</i> to use with steps 1 (visual) and 2 (auditory/tactile) of the phonics routine. This set can be shuffled as needed, and cards can easily be taken out of the deck once they are mastered. You can read more about parts 1 and 2 <a href="http://www.thymetoread.c
882om/2019/03/proven-strategies-to-fuel-your-phonics.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br /> 883The <i>second pack</i> of cards, is to arrange in the <i>three ring binder for blending practice</i>. Having a second set exclusively for the binder will keep the cards organized based on initial, medial and final sounds, and ensure we are set to blend without needing to reorganize cards. </div> 884<h3> 885What cards go in the initial, medial and final sound spots?</h3> 886I get this questions a lot from teachers who have already started setting up their binder. The cards that are the "hardest" to place are the A-Z consonant cards. Most of the other cards have a distinct place in the binder.<br /> 887<h4> 888Initial Sounds</h4> 889<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> 890<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0x7GLt8CFkAeUF1Ybw16OE28adLaSjhu_GAwQ1cTao2x7HIwktpSsczDsIuW_UAgFfObvJ4wwqiLZIrWu3GhNLlt0Wu8M4n2VZTJ8k96tZUipuAtG5AAoVeMt5Id0xWdekYnHHUMxozs/s1600/practice+blending+with+initial+and+final+blends+in+the+blending+binder+.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="633" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0x7GLt8CFkAeUF1Ybw16OE28adLaSjhu_GAwQ1cTao2x7HIwktpSsczDsIuW_UAgFfObvJ4wwqiLZIrWu3GhNLlt0Wu8M4n2VZTJ8k96tZUipuAtG5AAoVeMt5Id0xWdekYnHHUMxozs/s200/practice+blending+with+initial+and+final+blends+in+the+blending+binder+.png" width="149" /></a>Any letter that will create a vowel sound (like y, r, w) MUST go in the initial position. We also want to be conscious that some consonants can change the sound of our vowels (m and n). It does not mean these consonants have to go in the initial position, but only move them to a final position (or include a second copy) when your students are ready. Also having initial sounds that can be elongated into the vowel can help when it comes to blending "S-A-T >> SSSAAA-T >> SAT"</div> 891So here is MY list. This does not have to be your list, it is good to experiment.<br /> 892<b>c, l, h, j, k, ch, r, f, s, th, w, y, v, z, qu, followed by the initial consonant blends.</b> We know the blends are initial sounds because the consonants are <i>followed</i> by a dash. I also know these consonants are out of order (I follow the sequence from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Recipe-Reading-Revised-Expanded-Traub/dp/0838805051/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=reciepe+for+reading&qid=1550973896&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spell" target="_blank">Recipe for Reading</a>)<br /> 893<br /> 894<h4> 895Medial Sounds</h4> 896This is where all of the vowel sounds go. I have chosen to print my vowels on yellow, but some people choose pink or blue. Really, you can pick any color you like, but having your vowel sounds on a special color help our students start to identify those sounds as a unit, and begin noticing patterns within words.<br /> 897Some vowel sounds do not go IN the binder. They are meant solely for parts 1 and 2 of the drill. An example of this are the silent e cards. a-e should not go in the binder because it will not help our students to read silent e words (however it does have a great place in parts 1 and 2, because our students should choral response with "a silent e, says a").<br /> 898<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 899<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz9nHKU3Xzc98IQwKW3yrG-k6eFDNL5wsO789lh_qbikERRDa6hVdSrrlQL4-XKIeXB3lLZP0pvLxKavPXl1vFL9S6UHSr-hVImeCePisQtQH8AZbu91FMj1kFcuNqH85vhYq-Awu0t_A/s1600/explicit+practice+of+blending+sounds+can+be+very+powerful+in+supporting+our+students+to+become+proficient+readers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="516" data-original-width="1520" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz9nHKU3Xzc98IQwKW3yrG-k6eFDNL5wsO789lh_qbikERRDa6hVdSrrlQL4-XKIeXB3lLZP0pvLxKavPXl1vFL9S6UHSr-hVImeCePisQtQH8AZbu91FMj1kFcuNqH85vhYq-Awu0t_A/s640/explicit+practice+of+blending+sounds+can+be+very+powerful+in+supporting+our+students+to+become+proficient+readers.png" width="640" /></a></div> 900<h4> 901Final Sounds</h4> 902Much like the initial sounds, there is not a hard rule about what consonants go in the final location. I try to
902save some of the consonants that are used frequently in word families.<br /> 903Here is MY final sounds list.<br /> 904<b>d, g, m, t, p, b, n, sh, x, th, followed by the double consonants, and final blends.</b> We know the blends are final sounds because the consonants are <i>preceded</i> by a dash<br /> 905<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 906<br /></div> 907<h2> 908How do I Use My New Blending Binder?</h2> 909<div> 910In the binder, real and nonsense words can be created. Eventually, I start to have my students look at these nonsense words as potential syllables in bigger words - with this, they are able to read open, closed, silent e, vowel team, diphthong, r-controlled and c+le words/syllables.<br /> 911<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 912<br /></div> 913Then we follow the "I do, We do, You do" gradual release model of practice. I model how I tap each grapheme, while verbally producing the sound. Then, using the same word, we do it together, and finally the students on their own. Then I change ONE grapheme. At this time, I check to make sure the word follows correct phonics rules - for example I would not want to have the word KAT, because initial /k/ when with vowel a should be a C).<br /> 914<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 915<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpwXNO2LKf2ePzoCvEaGy3xcqKCpwGqQcnJqYeQn9ECa9cwxFVspRZ6JrBt7cUtT0aZftQYkwxRxDFi5rtKdn2n9bx6Q0YBKCFEtXSD6urCcgIsNXnMbaVE0vGe4OvKfalW6xRh_QqtqE/s1600/using+a+binder+to+help+with+the+blending+of+letters+sounds+into+words+with+a+chaining+literacy+activitiy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="514" data-original-width="1497" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpwXNO2LKf2ePzoCvEaGy3xcqKCpwGqQcnJqYeQn9ECa9cwxFVspRZ6JrBt7cUtT0aZftQYkwxRxDFi5rtKdn2n9bx6Q0YBKCFEtXSD6urCcgIsNXnMbaVE0vGe4OvKfalW6xRh_QqtqE/s640/using+a+binder+to+help+with+the+blending+of+letters+sounds+into+words+with+a+chaining+literacy+activitiy.png" width="640" /></a></div> 916</div> 917<div style="text-align: left;"> 918<h2> 919Do I Need More Than One Binder?</h2> 920Having more than one binder is definitely helpful. I have a binder for each of my primary groups. This is so I can add appropriate graphemes as my students are introduced to them. Because my groups are all at different levels, each binder has different cards. </div> 921<div style="text-align: left;"> 922<i><br /></i> 923<i>Full disclosure: Because I will never lie to you! </i><br /> 924The <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Orton-Gillingham-3x5-Phoneme-Grapheme-Card-Pack-1923874?utm_source=TTR%20Blog&utm_campaign=Blending%20Binder%20Post" target="_blank">phoneme/grapheme cards</a> I have available in my TpT shop, do not create a low prep binder. Even with the various print options (direct to index cards or cut apart), it takes some time to prep. When I first started using a blending binder, I only had one.

We have discussed what we are currently doing, and why it is not quite enough. We have decided to be responsive to our students' needs by implementing a consistent phonics block - a time for explicit, high quality instruction that will support all of our learners, and help them to become more proficient readers and writers. We saw a gap, and something tells me that my school isn't the only one, that is seeing this need. So, why is a phonics block so important? 1011</div> 1012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1013<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="31" data-original-width="1373" height="14" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s640/Untitled.png" width="640" /></a></div> 1014<h2> 1015<span style="text-align: center;">1. </span>High quality instruction</h2> 1016A phonics block <b>IS</b> the time to pull out research bases strategies that support all learners. It is a time to be flexible and responsive to our students needs. This means teaching and re-teaching phonics skills/spelling patterns as needed so our students have automatic retrieval in reading and writing. It is a time to provide our students with controlled texts that contain the spelling/sound patterns they have already learned.<br /> 1017A phonics block is <b>NOT</b> time consuming and difficult to plan for. We all know that we are tight on time (both with our students, and during our planning period). The good news is that our phonics block can be pretty much the same each week, with small tweaks to keep it fresh and engaging for our students.<br /> 1018<br /> 1019<h2> 10202. Sacred time for consistent exposure</h2> 1021We know that incremental exposure (the mixing of new concepts and not yet mastered concepts with a few fully mastered concepts) is a great strategy to use with sight words, math facts, vocabulary, etc. and it is the perfect strategy to use with phonics as well. In less than <a href="http://www.thymetoread.c
1021om/2019/03/proven-strategies-to-fuel-your-phonics.html" target="_blank">10 minutes a day</a> (maybe a little longer on the day we are first introducing a new concept), we can work in spiral review of previously learned skills to keep them current, and build more automaticity. We can also provide new teaching (introduction of a new spelling pattern) in a way that allows the brain to focus on the learning rather than the method. Meaning, by being consistent week to week, our students know what to expect from our phonics routine and can focus all of their brain power on learning the new content, rather than focusing on directions.<br /> 1022<br /> 1023<h2> 10243. Phonics = Fluency = Comprehension</h2> 1025When applied phonics knowledge become automatic, it leads to improved reading fluency. Our fluent readers are also more successful with their comprehension of texts, because the brain can move from learning to read, to reading to learn. This does not mean that phonics instruction trumps or takes the place of fluency and/or comprehension instruction. It just means that one skill is helping the development of the others, and together, they can propel our students along their reading journey a little faster.<br /> 1026<div> 1027<br /></div> 1028<h2> 10294. Support the readers who struggle</h2> 1030As with anything, some students may only need minimum exposure/instruction to make connections between phonetic patterns, and the associated sound. However, plenty of our students need repeated exposure and explicit instruction of spelling patterns/rules to make sense of these reading and writing building blocks. For our students who take to reading and writing like it is common sense, we can use this time push them forward and discuss multi-syllable words. For the majority of our students, we need to be aware that there is no natural connection between groups of letters and their sounds. It is our job to assign sounds to groups of letters and bring forth meaning with words. We also cannot assume that our students will master phonics by JUST reading more and practicing spelling.<br /> 1031<br /> 1032<h2> 1033<span style="text-align: center;">5. Spelling does not equal </span>phonics</h2> 1034<span style="text-align: center;">Unfortunately, packaged reading programs (typically) lack in the area of phonics. It is often marketed as an included "spelling curriculum". Well, I'm sorry to say providing students with a weekly spelling list, and a set of homework pages is </span><b style="text-align: center;">not the same</b><span style="text-align: center;"> as teaching phonics and spelling patterns. This kind of TEACHING follows a strategic, systematic, building block approach that cannot be outlined in a series. </span><span style="text-align: center;">When a series assigns a weekly (get it, and forget it) spelling list, they are missing the structured lessons that introduce students to spelling/sound relationships, thus unlocking the countless words that can be read/written with that pattern. </span><br /> 1035<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span> 1036<span style="text-align: center;"><i>Just some food for thought: </i></span><br /> 1037<span style="text-align: center;">Are we </span><span style="text-align: center;">limiting our students to 20 words that fit the pattern of the week?</span><br /> 1038<span style="text-align: center;">Are we limiting our students to single syllable words when they should be learning how to read and write multi-syllable words? (Which is good for all students, not just our high performers.)</span><br /> 1039<span style="text-align: center;">Are we limiting our students by assessing their spelling ability on a once a week test, rather than authentically and regularly assessing how they apply skills they have learned in their reading and writing?</span><br /> 1040<span style="text-align: center;">So, by teaching spelling, are we limiting our students, and cutting their instruction short? ... Which in turn, could have a big (negative) impact on their ability to read and write?</span><br /> 1041<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1042<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="31" data-original-width="1373" height="14" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s640/Untitled.png" width="640" /></a></div> 1043<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1044This is a topic that I have been sitting on for quite a while. I think it's because it is controversial to challenge what so many people are doing - and I'm a very non confrontational person. I'm NOT saying that teachers have got it all wrong by not having a phonics block, or by following a spelling curriculum from a reading series. I AM hoping to challenge the norm a little, and provide some points to think about. The key is to provide all of our students with explicit and thorough phonics instruction that will lead them to reading and writing success. </div> 1045<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1046<br /></div> 1047<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1048PIN FOR LATER:</div> 1049<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1050<a href="https://pin.it/bmwxhx64ysa3vr" target="_blank"><img alt="Begin implementing a phonics block during ELA to improve reading and writing proficiency with elementary students" border="0" data-original-height="1322" data-original-width="882" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRilewB8UmgbUHYusxv_n5Nxxexg95PrjknBwfdwkcCrum

I'm a big fan of color coding, and my school uses the Fountas and Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) system, which is also rainbow color coded. These bins made for no-brainer organizational alignment. </div> 1128<div> 1129<br /></div> 1130<div> 1131The bins hold materials for the small groups I see throughout the week. Each grade level gets their own bin. In each bin is a folder for each student, which contains student references (such as Fundations cards and comprehension posters), our group book, progress monitoring materials, and anything else we might need for the week. You could easily modify my color coded "grade level" bins to hold materials for the small groups you meet with, just within your classroom. </div> 1132<div> 1133<br /></div> 1134<div> 1135Storex is a storage solution company based out of Montreal, QC, and they were generous enough to send me a set of their newest storage option to try out before the school year ended. </div> 1136<div> 1137<br /></div> 1138<div> 1139As I said, I have been using the "<a href="https://www.storex.ca/collections/book-bins/products/copy-of-large-book-bin-6-pack" target="_blank">Large Book Bins</a>" for a few years, and couldn't be happier with my day to day classroom organization. However, three times a year when benchmark screening comes around, I cringe at the sight of the intervention room. It has always looked like a tornado rolled through at top speed, until this last assessment period! I was gifted the BRAND NEW "<a href="https://www.storex.ca/collections/book-bins/products/6-pack-double-xl-wide-book-bin-asst" target="_blank">Double XL Wide Book Bins</a>". My team and I used these super large bins to hold everything we needed for end of the year assessments (both reading and math in most cases). They housed our student packets, teacher administration packets, grade level checklists and student folders (for every student on our caseload - that needed to be "stuffed" before end of the year filing). The color coding made organizing a breeze, because my Type A teacher crazy has rubbed off a little bit on my teammates too. </div> 1140<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1141<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJb_-YWQAdxYf6cBnn-gXBdYJt5ZecQKqHqjq2EJt6HFAmBDydB9_WV1-h1gyvF97Z93RkX3Grgt59nOk-C7KkvIInSUpRQgct2dk1UM3EhE11CTLW4UEwtFqDQ28lxvY8R51VSP5yK44/s1600/Double+XL+book+bins+storex+organization+review.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJb_-YWQAdxYf6cBnn-gXBdYJt5ZecQKqHqjq2EJt6HFAmBDydB9_WV1-h1gyvF97Z93RkX3Grgt59nOk-C7KkvIInSUpRQgct2dk1UM3EhE11CTLW4UEwtFqDQ28lxvY8R51VSP5yK44/s640/Double+XL+book+bins+storex+organization+review.png" width="640" /></a></div> 1142<div> 1143I would regret not mentioning that Storex has expanded the Wal-Mart selection for this Back to School season!

The caddies and cubby boxes are available in a gorgeous turquoise color, so run fast to get them!

1188For several years, I tried different organization options for my small groups. I've used mailboxes, a rainbow cart with drawers, even magazine boxes - which got me close to happy, but they were just not sturdy enough. I spent more money than I care to admit trying to find something that worked. Since stumbling upon Storex, and all they have to offer for classroom organization, I have not turned back!

I personally do not keep EVERY single item on this list in my special kit, but I do have most of it. It really comes down to what you need, and what you have room for. I have dedicated a filing cabinet drawer to my special kit. The only thing that doesn't fit is my blanket (I keep that rolled up and stashed in the closet). I have a friend that uses a good 'ol fashion <i>Cabodle, </i>and another that keeps only a small clutch of things (I'm amazed at that).<i> </i>I also do not keep full sizes in my kit, I use travel sizes to save a little bit of room. When I run out of something (like mouthwash or Tylenol), I just replenish the travel size from my home supply.</div> 1303<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 1304<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="31" data-original-width="1373" height="14" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3pV8hyxPlZp744OJKpLzEA8T8L9X-HuAF2sSPUGXtgvaworl9Hf1A9ihyphenhyphenRsv-yG-ExSEnjEA8xC6iZPVt_JcmT-xdfs6FjvVwKg0RSILZxwKo4uNZcqHR97ZvNBaVESmol9EQJoeJ24o/s640/Untitled.png" width="640" /></a></div> 1305<div style="text-align: center;"> 1306 So, what do you include in your "Teacher Survival Kit"?
