Study Notes
Scarborough's Reading Rope
- Guided reading is not one of the strands in Scarborough's Reading Rope.
Effective Phonics Instruction
- Code-emphasis or phonics-emphasis instruction is most effective when organized around a logical progression of pattern words.
Consonant Blends
- Lesson examples for consonant blends may include words such as blink, frog, and twist.
Consonant Digraphs
- Words like thorn, show, and chase can be used in lessons reviewing consonant digraphs.
Phonics Lesson Activities
- Partner reading of a trade book is typically not included in a complete phonics lesson lasting 30-40 minutes.
Learning Patterns in Phonics
- The pattern "gale" is likely to be learned after other phonics correspondences.
Sound-Symbol Correspondences
- Approximately 50% of English words can be read and spelled accurately using sound-symbol correspondences alone, without knowledge of syllable patterns or word origins.
Graphemes in "Weight"
- The word "weight" contains three graphemes.
Letter Formation Practice
- Tracing a model following numbered arrows on lined paper is an effective practice for learning letter formation in kindergarten.
Ehri's Early Alphabetic Phase
- In this phase, students can progress with instruction focused on blending and reading simple words such as at, an, mad, and man.
Teaching Short Vowel Sounds
- The best keyword for teaching short e, /ĕ/ is "echo."
Application of Phoneme-Grapheme Relationships
- Decodable texts are ideal for providing practice in applying phoneme-grapheme relationships taught in phonics lessons.
Word Chaining Activity
- An example of a well-designed word list for a chaining activity includes words like rat, chat, chap, chip, rip, and rap.
Teaching High-Frequency Words
- To ensure first graders recognize and spell words starting with 'a', systematic decoding of sound-symbol correspondences beginning with short a should be taught.
Reading vs. Spelling
- Spelling is generally more challenging than reading, as it requires recalling the exact letters in a word.
