Description:Teaching reading is a complex task that requires considerable educator knowledge and skill. Checklists can be a powerful tool to support teachers in the management of this complexity. This interactive and fast-paced session will demonstrate the use of a phonics checklist paired with explicit instructional routines--all to ease the burden of lesson planning for teachers and increase effectiveness of lesson delivery. Educators will walk away with a methodology for lesson planning aligned to structured literacy principles that they can immediately implement into their classrooms.
Learning Objectives:
Understand how to use the six-step checklist for building an explicit phonics lesson sequence
Determine use of explicit instructional routines for each step of the six-step sequence
Use the checklist as a lesson-planning tool for phonics and spelling instruction aligned to structured literacy principles
Credit Reflection Questions:
1. Describe how the six steps of a explicit phonics lesson scaffolds towards automaticity and fluency in decoding and encoding.
2. Identify two instructional routines from the session that support implementation of the six-step phonics lesson and describe how you can use them in your classroom.
3. Why is it important that each step of the six-step phonics lesson have a common thread/focus for a specific phoneme/grapheme correspondence?
