Decoding Skills Developing Phonics Knowledge Structural Analysis Contractions and use of Context Clues By  PresenterMedia.com Problem Solution CRISS Strategy
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Blends, Digraphs and Diphthongs If the student has mastered phonics in the areas of single consonants, consonant blends, consonant digraphs, and long and short vowels, then it may not be necessary to teach the vowel digraphs and diphthongs.
It is not necessary to teach the vowel digraphs and diphthongs if the student has mastered certain phonics concepts. It is easy to assess if a student needs explicit teaching in blends, digraphs and diphthongs. It is extremely important that students are provided with activities to immediately apply their newly learned phonics skills.  - How do you assess phonics knowledge? - How do you teach phonics knowledge? - What do I have to keep in mind for ELL students? - Most importantly, REINFORCE the new skill. - Suggested Activities to teach the skill REMEMBER:

Prefix & Suffix Baseball 1) The pitcher “throws” a root word to the batter. 2) If the batter can add a prefix or a suffix to the root word, he/she hits a  single . 3) If the batter can  also  explain the meaning of the new word, he/she hits a  double . 4) If the batter can  also  properly use the new word in a sentence, he/she hits a  triple . 5) If the batter can  also  add another affix to the new word, he/she hits a  home run!

Editor's Notes

  1. Best way is to ask the stud to read orally, often can decode basic sight words but fail to pronounce acurrate words w/more than 1 syllable. These stud are unable to read above grade 3 or 4.
  2. This series of tests measures a student’s ability to use structural analysis skills. The student may not know the prefix re- means “back again” or the suffix meaning: “condition or degree”. The content usually helps but not provide full understanding of “refinement”. Context clues helps with both decoding and obtaining word meaning.
