Description:
Have you ever lost anything in your filing (or piling) system? You know you have the paper, but you can’t find it. No doubt your students know things about letters and sounds, but sometimes they also have trouble retrieving that information from their mental files. Knowing is not enough. We have to apply what we know.
Can we teach phonics so that students not only retrieve letter sounds, but also word meanings? Discover ideas for teaching real-word phonics so that reading becomes an adventure your students can understand and enjoy.
