Hello! how are you guys? Today if you have kids that come to words with spellings like this
or this and they say the wrong thing then you need to tune in today to
Reading Simplified, where you are right here, to find out a quick and easy way to
cope with this problem. We are in our Spring Forward challenge, a 25 day event
where you can win prizes and get some freebies like this full 25 days of
lesson plans. And, really, if you started with just at the beginning you could be
on week 4 and in week 4 we move from short vowels into teaching advanced
phonics and we talked about this Sort It activity and if you were here earlier
you learned how we can teach advanced phonics like the long vowel o and sort
by spelling and also by remembering a key sentence such as, "Go home to show the
boat to Joe," so that sentence, "Go home to show the boat to Joe," have keyboards that are
high frequency that teach the main spellings of O and are sorted in a way
that helps the child quickly remember those spelling so that's how you sort of
introduce the concept that our language has selling's that can have...or sounds
and have many spellings. It's complicated. But we had a great reader
question. She said well my kids haven't been--they're kindergartners--they haven't
been introduced to the long vowels yet but they know they know this spelling and
/ow/ and you're teaching it up here as /oa/ what do I do?
okay what do you guys think what would you do so that you don't use a lot of
rules you don't use a lot of confusion what's the fastest way to cope with it
because this will come up a lot this can be Oh as in know like I know something
or show or slow it can also be ours and cow or down or brown so what's a kid to
do this is even worse you know this is
probably as II maybe if you know it as a even as a great or even as inbred if
you're a robotics geek so that's hard to do but especially when with reading
simplified we're talking about getting kids really quickly into advanced laws
because with the tool that you have with a couple of key activities such as
switch it and read it and sort it they can handle it really early and earlier
than other traditional reading programs but then what there's still this
variation is unpredictability of our language so what are you to do so if
you're just tuning in so glad you're here say hi say where you're from let me
know if you've been doing the spring forward challenge if you haven't gotten
springboard challenge it's 25 days of lesson plans for a beginner or a
stripper who is working at the early first-grade level but even if you don't
use the exact format for that level if your kids a little higher your students
are a little higher the orchestration of the activities is a great an entree into
reading puzzle time and also along the way you get great freebie just by
clicking into each of these pages you'll get access some more freebies
so this freebie unlocks other freebies so Diane I'm glad you're here thank you
good to see you too anyone else Wednesday hi I'm so glad you're here so
let's get into the answer to this question okay so a student sees this hi
Aleta a student sees this and she says and it's the word cow NAB she just did
this activity and so she says Co and she looks at you and and you could give her
the word you could just say cow and that's what happens a lot of time but
you could also use this moment as a teaching moment so here's what I
recommend you saying well oh this isn't quite fit right the farmer and the co
and you know you look at her and you make a little joke and you both are
amuse so then you point with your pencil say what
else could this be and then hopefully she can figure out
that it could be out as in cow and if she can't figure it out that's fine if
it will try out that's your backup tryout and then till she rescale and
then you're like features
you
don't say sorry if I lost you guys I had a little trouble with my signal so say
you've done that and she figures out that it's a cow
great now is a great time to teach her the flex it strategies that's the next
strategy that kind of lives on top of build blend as you read so the blended
you read strategy is taught in the spring forward challenge under the
activity read it so if you don't know what I'm talking about what blend as you
read go back to that springboard challenge and you'll find out more but
after we teach lend as you read then flex it is the next great strategy that
your student will need and so you can cheat you can kind of give them the
discovery opportunity to learn how it selects it so what I like to do is have
my students write on a board all the spellings of oh that they know so I
first I used to do so this to this it's all that you go so they've done that and
maybe they've actually encountered this problem where it could be overtly out or
maybe you're just doing this as another level academic Marco Rubio spelling do
you think do you remember the set keys and for Oh something about a vote and
they hopefully come up with go home shows votes Jeff okay I want you to
write all of the O Spelling's that you can remember I start let's go go oh oh
oh whoa Joe okay great so you've read look at all those oh now maybe they've
also done sort it the same activity but with the owl sound and that key sentence
is now get out it's a crocodile eating a monkey so those are is a little bit that
keep in it let's see go now get out they right now get out and you can say now
I'm going to if you see the problem with I see what do we have here and here
what's this Oh as in show and this is on now as in how an owl as and now so what
are we going to do when we come for that spelling it can be
Oh working me out what are you going to do so this is the discovery moment with
a student and a lot of kids are really clever and they say some of them can
figure this out you ask your whole class or a small group of students some of
them will figure it out and you ask that question what do you do when you come to
the spelling if it can be O or can be up and you prompt them today well I try one
if it doesn't work I'll try Atta exactly right that is the flex it strategy and
if you can get your students articulated and put it into practice in word work
activities or most importantly during guided reading so it transfers into real
reading you are you are on the road to having a great reader because flexing it
moving themselves in and out of words it's really a hallmark of good readers
we come to where we don't know and we play around with the sounds in the word
and we come up with something that makes sense and it starts the foundational
ability to do that starts with switches which is one of the first activities
that we encountered in our spring forward challenge because you helped
save the word fan and you switch it from fan to fun you have to pull out that app
and plug in the up and that's an innocent manipulation required to do
that causes young is really creating cognitive flexibility a quick-thinking
that allows you to deal with this problem and this problem and all the
other problems you're going to encounter multi-syllable works just think about
all the different ways for instance the letter i can be pronounced in a multi
syllable word pretty much six can represent any valve house so I'm Jen to
be sometimes it is sometimes it's a it's crazy so you have to be able to flex it
try one sound oh it doesn't work try another so there's after they
discover that then you can give them a little activity that's simply sorting
the word you could do it with something like this this tactile with different
sorting compartments or it could just be on a board or a piece of paper on the
floor with you know painters tape so give the
kids a handful of words that have been spelling but they are going to sort them
into columns based on the O sound and the owl sound okay so they would look at
this word and they would say mm mm oh no and mix it it must be cow okay put it in
the column under ow mm what's that word if it's not shout it
show okay put it in the back hall so they take that one spelling and they
sort it by
you
that that is about all that it takes to develop a flex Estrada G and then
encourage them to continue trying that when they're reading in a book so
they're come across a sentence the the past was around okay and so they're very
young and they've maybe not recognized Brown at a glance so when I get here and
they say well you just said well well could it be and if they can't figure it
out well then you point to it with your pencil and you can try out and so
they're putting it into practice in the context of real reading and guided
reading and this is it's giving them a hard time and go back to having them
sort by by sound and most kids pick up this strategy because it works for them
but you've given them the switches foundation that strong sounds will
Faldo's foundation hi Alexis I'm glad you're here if you guys have any
successes with this activity or you've seen as promos for let me know because I
want to hear what what's how it strikes you and one of the real world things
that you need answers to well thank you Angelo you said that she looks to have
sheets love what she learned in these videos that's all so what I was going to
say is that once the kids gets the Flex astronomy you don't have to do this
sorting activity that often it can be fun and it can be good for independent
centers but it's it's a strategy bait that they want and they don't need thank
you and that they don't need to probably
practice a ton other than in the context of real reading however there are some
kids who are slower with developing that cognitive flexibility particularly
children who have some learning disabilities they're going to find it
harder to be cognitively flexible and quick enough so then then you can I want
to get more tactile and do the sorting by sound more frequently okay so these
are the two sellings that I use a lot the Oh W
and this ei this one can be three sounds e s and a those are the main ones the e
is in each the a is in great as a as in bread so Alexis said that sort of helped
her son Ottoman she's in the classroom and she's also doing it with her son so
it's a great synergistic thing they're going for Alexis awesome and Diane says
that she's got students who needed help of advanced onyx and he couldn't read
clouded that is kind of hard dead at the end I said try al but she's still in a
difficult is she still has trouble with nuns and she has trouble with nonsense
which it okay so it's not like you probably are I'm inferring that you are
understanding that once since you connected the advanced phonics to the
switches that she is having trouble with that cognitive flexibility and that
pulling a sound out and putting in a new sound in a word that starts with CL
which is that complex consonant combination at the beginning that's a
lot to handle so we could cover up the e d because and just focus in on cloud and
try to help her through it I bet you did but also I think you're right 0e and
more on the the hardest level of switch it which happens to be nonsense word
which is appropriate for tissues older she's about 10 I think if this is the
one line remembering that's great yeah so if she needs more switch it back and
forth and back and forth from switch crisp to crisp to crust to plussed and
all that switching of all the Spelling's and all the positions that will help her
with the advanced phonics and then it will help her later with multi-syllable
but also if she copy may be more explicit sorting with a few of the
advanced onyx by sound when they can be the same spelling that might be
especially helpful for that type of student one of their comments you guys
have that's really all that I have it's important to understand at this level
once you've introduced sort it you taught the O sound and maybe you've
taught out or maybe they just encountered this problem
because they see this and you have just taught them Oh or our
readers question was okay I haven't taught though at all but they've been
taught out how do I cope with it so really it comes back to getting them to
discover ah it can be oh look meow what am I going to do I got to try one if it
doesn't work try another one try to make meaning and then use that strategy from
here on out that's why I'm so awesome if you have a text that's too hard for the
students and you're there in a small group and you can give them feedback
because you can point the things they don't know and that's because they might
not know did I have problem with this that I think de and it should have been
be here did I become a neuron here they don't know the problem is that just by
pointing to it you're zeroing in their attention and if they have to have a cue
that this is a land that little bit of extra help but along the way they're
developing more and more complex ability to attack unknown words and so this is
not just great but they've learned how to do the word Brown this is this
instant incident where this child started I was grown and turned it to
brown and a lot of our friends a lot more mental stuff than just one word
this is basically changing brain cells building more neural networks that tells
a child oh I've got a plane with the sounds and words I got to make meaning I
got a cool sound out and put one in and that's how reading works I don't know
word so Alexa said that her son learned them at school but she's trying to
explain that all the time not sure I got that Alexa so tell me more because I
love to hear more oh maybe I missed the beginning I see what you say your seer
suddenly said owl it comes at the end oh oh at the beginning okay oh okay
so her son was taught that he had more intensive phonics and some kids in
America house he was taught that this would be appropriate at the end as in
cow Thank You Alexa yes I speak find yourself this is Al as in Cal to end the
other spelling 400 you is more likely in the middle or the beginning like an out
and that is generally true but that doesn't help
you cope with the problem of seeing it is show or slow so some rules like that
are good general guideline but they still leave us with this problem more
than we can explain through rules like there is no rule as to whether or not
this is o or ow none of us have that rule by that
because other than just memorization and experience so then we have to have a
flexing strategy and I'd love for you to think about that you have a flex it
strategy when you are reading challenging the material say you read
some kind of medical term you've never come across or a Russian word or some
just fancy word that you get in the pulitzer prize-winning novel they never
rat you didn't learn for the SAT do you play around with the sounds and wonder
like is that mal ami or is it because you've never heard the word before or
maybe you play around with it and then oh I think I heard that word before you
even though you might not know what it means so there could be this kind of
subtle deep deep-seated exposure to a word somewhere in your brain and that's
all it takes to be able at least pronounce the word correctly that's how
I figured out I remember pterodactyl nobody had taught me Petey for instance
was tough but I must have at some level somewhere had heard the word pterodactyl
has never seen it in print in that moment when I looked at the PT and what
what the heck but the rest of the word looks like Aerodactyl I seen that part
before then my brain said oh that must be that thing that you've heard before
and I then I learned opt must be Chuck so that was my brain flexing that that
thing okay so Alexis a says that she plays
with the word so you can see how the words work yet and breaking it down like
this and like the sort of activity and saying each sound as they write it that
is so powerful so your children and your students really do hear each sound in
the word that was great okay so for instance when the child rights vote she
says oh oh the whole time she's writing oh the
whole spelling of it oh ma she should be thanked oh so if you have
been during the springboard challenge it's coming to a close in 11 days so you
have a chance to win so keep working if you're still in school if you're not in
school get your comments up there on the original post where this came from and I
I think I forgot to include it but you could find it at Reading simplify comm
it's the first thing that will come up the spring forward challenge and by June
15th post your your experiences with this challenge whether you did one
activity whether you did two activities whether you did all four weeks whatever
it is there is really no everybody is welcome to post because we're just going
to look at the context of your situation how challenging the circumstances how
many days you had and what you were able to accomplish in terms of transforming
your image in or transforming your students as readers and we'll pick some
winners and we have three prizes the third place prize is for everybody that
includes you just by commenting you get an extra sword at packet so this
actually that you guys have already been given the O sound and all of it
texts that go with it to help kids transfer to real reading but you'll get
the same kind of materials but for the e sound this is her very effective for
kindergarten first grade readers this particular set of materials in the
readings will divide Academy which the first-place prize winner will get we
have the same types of materials but we have harder and harder words harder and
harder levels if you have kids that still need to do the same activity but
needs to be given harder material so third prize as I mentioned everyone wins
the sort of packet second prize is several sort of packets think five and
first first place is three months free to the rating from polite Academy which
really is going to be plenty of time to learn how to teach anyone to read this
is the material in the reading subscribe Academy that I wish I have when I got
reading specialist license or when I had got my masters this is information and
the streamline paths are learning how to teach reading that I've ever had and so
I think in three months you can totally master it and know how to teach anyone
whether he be a beginner or a struggler in a much simpler way so so Alexis is
saying Oh Alexis earlier had talked about how he first on that Trump with
this I think who they able to get sis but couldn't get stiff and we talked
about why that might be in the earlier posts and great he's getting it now and
so yes if she mentions can she write a reflections for this spring forward
challenge on week one absolutely wherever you're coming from whatever you
were able to do I know Alexis's students went to summer vacation a long time ago
so and but she's trying with a big prize excellent Alexis you've been with us for
a lot of time so my best to you but all of you remember everyone will be winning
at least something just by putting up a few comments if you were so Oh Angela
says Alexis if you don't win it a so worth being part of it's fabulous and so
much amazing information Thank You Angela I'm really honored to have you
say that and it's great to have you a member of the readingsseoul fight
academy along with diane who i know they made with your earlier so i think i
should wrap up unless there's any other questions or comments
Thank You Alexis the flexin strategy with today's main trick think about I
homework for you besides preparing for the spring forward challenge and getting
your comments up there I'd like for you to think about as you read do you flex
it do you play with sound pull sound out and put a new sound in
and if that's a strategy that you can you can use to be a good reader yourself
are you going to be able to find ways to help students develop that ability
themselves transfer it from word reflectively into real reading
throughout all of your guided reading episodes or whole class reading that's
really kind of the vision for how this activity or the strategy can really
serve your kiddo so I hope that this was helpful
in kind of wave 2 about how to handle advanced phonics and I will be back soon
to wrap up kind of some of the big ideas of the spring forward challenge it's
really kind of the representation of the core activities that we teach and
reasonable by so dianthus Japanese dude yeah I'm already hearing about that so
Diane can write to me in the teachers lounge which was one of the key features
of the teachers of the arena simplified academy and I can hear what his or her
needs and she can get some tips for me and other teachers who are also in the
community okay Alexis says you are loving being a member of being in this
community so that's great oh thank you very very kind okay so this student has
had a lot of different intensive solar phonics program and so okay that's very
interesting so he did a program is in my old hometown just organ Gillingham base
and also Barton okay so I would start on how old is he Diane definitely you need
to start with switch it because I'm sure he's well cast buildeth you can you know
you must know the letter sounds and two consonants and the short vowels so I
would definitely start with switch it probably with four or five pounds get
our lesson ready with four or five found words real words so for the first day
and then we'll definitely we also probably talked about testing because
you'd be probably good to know what else is going on like what kind of fluency
issues are going on there I'll use ten yeah definitely we'll have to talk about
the assessment we had talked about that before but just in general the generic
thing that I find all the time those kinds of students is that switch it is
really really helpful and then saying the sounds that they write it so
probably after they get in to sort it and doing this type of thing doing a lot
of private as well and making them realize that they have quite a lot of
some sound based information that they can transfer I hear the word cat and I
can translate that even though I don't remember how to spell it I can control a
back ass and getting that connection between
sound and symbol kind of routinized or made into a routine from there from what
they actually realized they have the ability to do and get it down on paper
because it will be hard because they probably will have been taught not to
write something unless they're confident of the spelling and this is you need to
break them of that and be more encouraging oh hey what sounds you hear
and really tune them into sound symbol processing and then also you probably
want to look at the site where dizzy were if he he's definitely a 10 and he's
hella intense instructions he definitely has a phonological processing problem
but he may also have a visual processing problem so disentangling which one of
those is the bigger issue may help you kind of guide how long it's going to
take either way you start with a phonological problem the sound
processing thing which is what's which it will help you with and then if you
recognize that he has a visual problem which you can probably tell based on how
many sight words you know then that will just il is going to take longer that's
really the only difference and then you actually kind of clear up the
phonological problem and you can get sound and simple problems in working
really quickly then you put more effort into fluency building and rereading the
same checks particularly those quick reads text which we have talked about
before is you've never heard of that and you're interested go check out quick
read by El Frieda Hebert it's produced by Pearson so for a series for building
fluency once a kid is strong with their sound symbol decoding and they're
functioning at the mid-late first grade mid second grade level they can build up
a lot of sight words that way because they have a strong sound symbol decoding
foundation but you don't really want to work on fluency until that foundation is
solid okay so you know you've got memory problems yeah
so and there's a few other things that we can think of and talk about that
first workout the sana logical baseline okay I'm so honored that you guys have
been here um I'll be back soon oh and you've got six quick reads complete if
you have if you miss this live feel free to put some comments
in the question and I can keep the conversation going with you and answer
other questions or again keep let me hear your success in the springboard
challenge and if you found this to be helpful maybe you want to share it with
your friends maybe you want to share it out for all of your friends or just
Tiger friends because not only are we giving some tips here that help cope
with advanced sonic but they have some access through what we've said and
what's posted to some 3ds so which teacher doesn't like some good freebies
thanks for tuning in you guys we'll be back soon
