How To Find the Root Cause of a Child’s Reading Problem
This video was really helpful, thank you! Your eyes open or shut comment was so very clarifying!
I'm so glad!
Do you have your alphabet chart available? I’m having a hard time finding one with the correct “x” sound for my homeschooler. Thanks!
You can get the folder alphabet chart for free here! www.learningattheprimarypondresources.com/free-writing-folder-tools
Yes
Great points and interesting information.
Yes
Yes
Great thank you
First grade
Decision fatigue is rough for me. By the time i get home, I can't think anymore.
Totally!
Your "eyes closed" comment did it for me! Phonics requires us to have our eyes OPEN so we can see the letters associated with sounds; whereas Phonemic awareness & phonological awareness do NOT require us to have our eyes open. We can keep them closed and analyze sounds without the use of letters. Thank you!
You're welcome!
After the first few weeks of school, I only stay late during assessment reports and parent teacher conference season. But my school has us contracted 9 to 430 ( class time is 930 to 215) plus forty minutes of lunch with the kids but we are allowed to grade or whatever since we have an assistant.
That sounds manageable!!
@@learningattheprimarypond it really is. This management is also amazing. I feel so lucky to work there
Yes
You're brilliant!!
I would say 2-3 hours a day
This way doesn't always work. Sh ou ted , not sh out ed.
The word "shouted" would be divided shout-ed into its syllables.
@@learningattheprimarypond but then it sounds robotic. As I say, the syllable method doesn't always apply. It only teaches the letters, not the pronouncing.
Would love to know - how much time OUTSIDE of normal school hours are you spending on school-related tasks?
The last half was great! Actual, useable techniques! Spend more time on the actual answer than introducing it and telling us what we already know. Duh we’re over worked. 😂 I joined the waitlist. Looks like a ton of great materials! Any plans to go above grade 2?
For now, the plan is to stick to K-2! I do have the Reading Intervention Collaborative which has a broader range, K-5: www.readinginterventioncollaborative.com/
Yes
Yes
Love the video but the smacking 😊
I love the idea of color coding words for differentiation. Thank you!
Hello, we are beginning fluency, pre-K! And yes, my son is spending a lot of time sounding the word out which isn’t upsetting. I just want to be sure he is up to par with other classmates.
Hope you got some ideas from the video!
I just found your podcasts today as I am taking a class and reading the book Build Reading Fluency by Timothy Rasinski. . I love your podcast on fluency. Thank you for posting.
Wonderful!
We use Total Physical Response (TPR) for reviewing letters and sounds. I used Literacy Links for this in years past. This year in kindergarten, we are adopting the actions that Preschool is using (Launchpad) to provide continuity and consistency. We also use Heidi Songs to review letters and sounds and heart words. 😊
Wow! Sounds like you have a lot included :)
Do you have any movement activities you currently do for phonics time? Let me know in the comments!
I love write the room for ELA/math.
yes I do spelling before I start my lesson
I love your pictures 😃
What book is that? Just curious.
They are my Intervention materials put in a binder! Here's the link - www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/learning-at-the-primary-pond-alison/category-reading-intervention-576478?TpT&

Love this idea! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Confusing!!!!!
So helpful! I CANNOT WAIT for the literacy club to open!
I love write the rooms! I think it also allows kindergarten students to practice their handwriting (letter formation) as well. 😊
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes
How do I get the fluency feedback form?

Kindly share some tips to make my child can write.
Hey! If you take a peek at my channel, I have lots of videos on tips for writing - ruclips.net/channel/UColaTHGD5ioNQ6JYfSFEfvQ
@@learningattheprimarypond I found some. I think my child is still struggling in spelling. She can't write numbers with letter, she often forgot the letter and its sound.
Starting to homeschool this year my 4 year old. Where do I start with regard to learning to read. Do you have a recommendation for K?
Hey! I definitely recommend starting with phonological awareness (video on that here - ruclips.net/video/foCy3r470k4/видео.html) and some letter name/letter sound identification at that age! - ruclips.net/video/aZOga43qK9E/видео.html
I’ve used you assessments with advanced readers lately and found some gaps I was able to address! Thanks!
That will be so helpful moving forward!
No, thanks to the Reading Recovery monster's grasp on teacher training and public schools, I wasn't taught this or basically ANY phonics rules when I got my Masters in Teaching ten years ago. I'm grateful for the advancement of the Science of Reading and videos like yours!
Glad this is helpful!! I think many are in the same boat that they weren't taught this :)
How do you coordinate all the needs at the same time for the varied levels? Do you have them all reading in small groups during the period? Do they actually stay on task when you aren't with them?
During small group instruction, there are usually 3-4 small groups. The groups are based on needs of students - so for instance, one group may need word on CVC words, another group may need work on words with blends, etc. (I would use assessments to gather this type of data.) The teacher would meet with one group while the others work independently. To get them to work independently, you have to start the beginning of the year by modeling and practicing each center in great detail! This definitely takes time to build up that independence. Then, they rotate so that I'm eventually able to meet with all the groups. Depending on the time constraints, you may be only able to meet with some of the groups each day.
