“Encoding is not simply a step to writing; it is a vital but underappreciated route to reading. It requires a deeper and more consistent practice of identifying the individual speech sounds in words and linking those sounds to letters. It engages children from the beginning with meaningful words, not isolated skills.
The segmentation and construction of spoken words build essential neural networks and provide a meaningful route to phoneme awareness and phonics, as children learn to master the ingenious code of letters that makes spoken words visible.” ( Herron & Gillis, 2020).

Leading our book club on Making Words Stick today. We dug into orthographic mapping, shared ideas, and enjoyed bagels while growing together. Grateful for the chance to learn, collaborate, and learn with my teachers!
Listen to "The Kicker" from Horace Silver's never-before-released 1965 live album "Silver In Seattle: Live At The Penthouse"! Written by the band's saxophonist Joe Henderson, the tune had appeared on Silver's classic studio album "Song For My Father": https://t.co/F7jonUe3Rt

“Orthographic mapping creates connections between graphemes and phonemes to secure spellings bonded to pronunciation of words in memory. However, meanings must also become bonded to spelling in memory.” ~Linnea Ehri
SORticle #11: What Teachers Need to Know and Do to Teach letter-sounds, phonemic awareness, Word Reading and Phonics.
This article should be mandatory in every teacher-training program because it explains what teachers need to know AND do to teach students to read and spell. I’ve shared it with students in my Teacher-Ed program Vancouver Island University because I wish it had been shared with me before I became a classroom teacher. #SoRticle
