Word Work, the Reading Recovery Way -- Pt. 6

It's about time, teachers, for onset changes with harder analogies.  Begin by displaying the letters for a KNOWN word, plus another letter than can change the onset to make another KNOWN word.  



Say, "Make he.  Now change he to me."  After she has done so, ask her to run her finger under it and say it slowly.

In the same lesson, have the child construct a different onset change, for example, can / man.  

Always have the child run her finger under it, saying it slowly, to check that the sounds match the letters.

The next step is a little harder.  Make a known word, such as look.  Say, "You know this word -- look."  Give the student the letters for cook.  Instruct her to "make a word that is like look."  

Continue making analogies with onsets until the child demonstrates that she understands.

Next time, we will work with rimes.

In the meantime, I'd like to share some Pinteresting news.  Being a pragmatist, I decided to create 2 new boards on my Pinterest account especially for you, my readers and followers.  One board is a visual archive of my blog posts.  Because I’m a visual learner, it’s what appeals to me.  Hopefully, it does to you as well.



The other board is a collection of my free products on TpT.  

I’ve seen that several top sellers on TpT have done this and, since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they must be blushing!  When you have time, check these boards out.

Have time for a giveaway?  Who doesn't??  Enter for your chance to win nearly $200 in teaching materials at Rockin' Teacher Materials.  

Until next time...



It's about time for Halloween.  Have you picked up these Halloween freebies from my TpT store?
