What Are The Best Strategies?
Systematic Approach
What is it?
“Systematic phonics instruction enhances children’s success in learning to read and is significantly more effective than instruction that teaches little or no phonics”

What I Did
Final Assessment
After several weeks BOTH students showed improvement!!
Student A- went from 3/7 to 6/7 correct on assessment
Student B-went from 4/7 t0 7/7 correct on assessment
Impact on Student Achievement
Provided the students with several examples of vowel sounds and strategies to break each word down
What did I learn??
The teachers attitude will effect the students attitude!
Have several opportunities for practice
Things I would Change
Differentiate the assessment- the students caught on and just memorized the answers
