Phonics Suite Training Modules

This engaging 45 minute session is designed to help you understand the first few lessons of Phonics Suite. It’s appropriate for educators who are just about to start instruction.
It includes information about:

• The structure of the lessons and why the first few lessons are atypical
• An overview of the scope and sequence
• The rationale and procedures for the Oral Reading section of the lessons
• The procedures and routines used in phonemic awareness and phonics skill building
• A guide to the manipulatives you’ll be using in instruction

This engaging 45 minutes is designed to help you understand "The Early Lessons". It’s appropriate for educators who are actively teaching or are just about to teach Boost Lessons Blitz 5-10 or Boost 5-22. It includes information about:

• The procedures and routines found in the early lessons
• How best to teach the basic phonics concepts found in the early lessons ( Digraphs, Trigraphs, 2-sound blends, 3-sound blends, digraph blends, and some spelling rules.)
• How phonemic awareness is practiced and taught, including segment and blending phonemes, identifying and categorizing vowels, etc.

This part of the scope and sequence helps transition students to reading and spelling multi-syllabic words. They take their knowledge of complex single-syllable words, the phonemic awareness associated with them, and apply it to complex multi-syllable words. In this session you will learn about:

• How the lessons teach phonological awareness skills necessary to read and spell multi-syllabic words
• The “lose the rules” functional approach to reading unfamiliar multi-syllable words
• How this instruction fits into the overall scope and sequence

In this session you will learn about:

• How words are changed by adding consonant and vowel suffixes
• The strategies students will look for when spelling with suffixes
• How to easily identify the multiple spellings of -ed

In this session you will learn about:

• How to best teach the 1-1-1 Doubling Rule and Hard/Soft “c and g”
• The Consonant –le and Y as a vowel “basics”
• How to incorporate the comprehension component into Oral Reading Fluency in Boost 41/Blitz 26
• How to implement r-controlled vowels, open syllables, and Latin ending with fidelity

In this session you will learn about:

• How multiple spellings for long vowels are taught systematically
• The multiple spellings for “other vowels” are taught
• How two vowels can spell “two sounds”

The BDS proves it. The Grouping Matrix now shows you who these students are and now we have a systematic way to start them in a more appropriate place.

You can use the materials you already – Phonics Blitz and its corresponding manipulatvies.

We will show you how to give them a crash course on the first 10 lessons. Instead of 10 hours of instruction, you may be able to get thru it in just a few hours.
