How to Use Decodable Books to Teach Reading


Book Description

Sixty-five percent of U.S. fourth graders are not proficient readers because their teachers have not been taught how to teach reading using evidence-based methods. Up to 20% of children have dyslexia. Few receive the individualized teaching they need from their schools. To help parents and teachers who want to teach their children using an evidence-based, effective method, Pamela Brookes, the mother of a child with dyslexia, discusses their daily routine as she teaches her daughter to read using the decodable DOG ON A LOG Books series. As the author of DOG ON A LOG Books, Pamela also shares how to choose where in the series to start. She shares how she teaches each of the phonics rules used in the book series along with the reasons for teaching the syllable types and handwriting. Although this booklet is meant to guide parents and teachers using DOG ON A LOG Books, the information can be adapted and applied to any systematic series of decodable books. How to Use Decodable Books to Teach Reading is edited by Dr. Nancy Mather, a professor in learning disabilities, reading, and writing to make sure it follows the scientific research on teaching reading. This edition includes information on Steps 1 to 10 of the DOG ON A LOG phonics rules. Additional steps will be added as the future decodable chapter books are created. All DOG ON A LOG Books follow a structured literacy/Orton-Gillingham based phonics sequence. You can download printable gameboards, flashcards, and other literacy materials at www.dogonalogbooks.com.




Orton Gillingham Decodable Readers: Let's Practice Long and Short Vowels. Workbook with Decodable Texts to Help Struggling Readers to Improve Their Reading Skills. Black and White Edition. Volume 2


Book Description

Orton Gillingham Decodable Readers: let's practice long and short vowels. Workbook with decodable texts to help struggling readers to read. Black & White Edition. Volume 2. The "decodable readers" are books that are contrived to support kids practice a particular letter-sound pattern shown as part of a synthetic phonics curriculum. Books like this have no storyline; they are equally nonsensical whether you begin on the first page, or start on the last page and read backward. A book must be worth reading and provide kids the chance to discover the full spectrum of strategies needed to understand any book. In this book, we have included texts for the student to read and identify certain words within it. You will find that after each text the child is asked questions so that he not only focuses on reading but also on understanding and retaining certain data that the text teaches us. The book is reinforced with other activities that break the monotony and make it fun and challenging for the child, such as identifying the name of the given picture making sentences with the given word finding certain words in a word search and crossword puzzles. In this book we work on the letter 'e' Short 'e' ...................................page 1-17 Long 'e' (ee words).....................page 18-28 Long 'e' (ea words)....................page 29-40 Long 'e' (y words)......................page 41-50 Long 'e' (ey words).....................page 51-61 Long 'e' (e words).......................page 62-72 Long 'e' words activities................page 73-77 Resources..................................page 78-114 Look for other BrainChild titles available on Amazon.com
