@myrahmarquis This looks so fun! Also looks like a great opportunity to teach/reinforce the /r/ sound and use the rainbow as a memory and sensory tool for letter formation :) You're a star, Myrah Marquis!
Ok my friends! It is almost September 1 which means it is ALMOST time for a NEW 5MM video! We will be finishing up this series! Do you need to catch up!? Hurry!

Looking for decodable books to help children practice a skill you're teaching related to digraphs, vowel patterns, blends, or even moving in to reading multi-syllable words? This site is a great free resource to add to your toolkit. https://t.co/gtLFDlMBQg

Taking this activity one step further by asking students to cover the word after they read it and apply their sounds as they write and sort the words, allows them to apply multiple literacy skills they’re learning.
Pairing or contrasting sounds with the same spelling helps students to learn and apply the “Flex It” reading strategy. “Is that a word I know?” & “What other sound could this make?” are important metacognitive questions to ask as we’re reading and require direct teaching.
@CalliCraft Yes! For syllables specifically, we do a little chant/sing-songy thing where I say a word, they repeat it & then count the beats. Then I move to teaching them the ‘chin trick’ as another tool to help them write/spell in sound chunks by stretching syllables. This was the 3rd part.
How are we teaching kids how to read multi-syllable words? There’s so much front-loading that goes into this: knowing the sounds for each grapheme, recognizing the various spellings for long vowel sounds, identifying rime units, flexing both sounds and syllable breaks & much more
"Vocab instr. is the central connection pt. between the word identification system and the comprehension system." Really useful instr. moves listed in this article for explicitly teaching vocabulary FOR LEARNING (for use now & later) vs. performance.
