Session Description:This session will deepen educators’ understanding of phonics and how to support students without holding them back from doing their best reading. This least restrictive process will immediately impact teaching and learning in your classroom, and you will see students improve their fluency in a short amount of time. This will change how you approach whole-group, small-group, and intervention support in your classroom.
Success Criteria:To understand and be able to use the least restrictive blendingn routines that meet our studnets' needs when they are practicing words in preparation for reading text.
Lesson Objectives:1. I know what is meant by "least restrictive" blending.
2. I know the continuum of blending routines.
3. I know how to scaffold isntruction to meet the needs of my students.
4. I know "why" behind the concept of "least restrictive".
Reflective Questions:1. How does the curriculum you currently use compare to what you have learned about scaffolding blending routines today?
2. What do you need to do as an educator to feel confident in supporting a student with a word they are unfamiliar with at the spur of the moment instead of just giving them the word?
3. Why is it critical for the students to do the work for blending words?
