Reading+Interventions+-+Decoding


 * This video from Neuhaus Education Center gives great suggestions of how to teach accent.

 * If you are not teaching syllable rules, you should. Once a student has learned the six syllable types, they will be able to read most words they encounter in texts. This will also help with spelling as they will not have to simply memorize words.




 * Teaching students how to divide a word into the syllable types will help them learn to decode even unfamiliar words.



Fundations is a research based phonics instruction program that serves as an adjunct to a core reading program. To make it an intervention, provide a "double dose" during the day. The large c=sound cards are used to teach students the letter name, a keyword and the sound for the letter. It is important to have the student say the information in that order (name, keyword, sound). These sound cards should be used with students in Kindergarten or those that are not proficient with letters and sounds.

The Level 1 cards are for 1st grade and up. Each page is labeled for the Level (1) and the corresponding units within the Fundations Instructional Program Manual.
