Use these materials to introduce parents and caregivers in your community to the science of reading so they can learn along with you. Watch the presentation, then grab the files and make it your own!
Dr. Stephanie Stollar developed a free set of presentation slides outlining basic findings in the science of reading. Slides, speaker notes, and handouts are provided.
Contrary to popular belief, students should not be taught to memorize irregular words by sight. In most irregular words, only one or two letters do not conform to their usual sound correspondence. This means that most irregular words are at least partially decodable. This is […]
What if you only had to teach 20 sight words from the Dolch list? Guess what? You can–because the other 200 words are completely decodable.
Often, high-frequency words are called “sight words” with the expectation that these words are irregular and must be memorized. Integrating high-frequency words into phonics lessons allows students to make sense of spelling patterns for these words. To do this, high-frequency words need to be categorized […]
In this PaTTAN webinar, Michael Hunter outlines a flexible strategy for reading and spelling multisyllabic words. Students identify the vowels in words to determine the number of syllables and where to break the word.
In this video, Linda Farrell demonstrates a lesson focused on teaching a flexible strategy for decoding multisyllabic words.
Linda Farrell explains the process readers go through when they decode new multisyllabic reading. In the video, she highlights set for variability, where a reader flexes sounds to adjust close approximations.
Linda Farrell highlights an instructional approach to teaching multisyllable words with silent “e” and vowel teams in this brief video.
Dr. Stephanie Stollar explains set for variability in this brief video. Set for variability is the set of skills that allow students to correct close approximations while decoding.
In this vocabulary and comprehension lesson, Ontario Teacher Kate Winn provides a step-by-step lesson designed to increase and enhance vocabulary and comprehension. Using the picture book Hana’s Hundreds of Hijabs by Razeena Omar Gutta, this lesson plan provides detailed, explicit instruction on using vocabulary from the book and includes the blackline master for a follow-up writing activity.

“Lorsque vient le temps d’introduire un nouveau graphème, il s’agit de commencer la leçon avec une révision des cartes des leçons précédentes (voir l’exemple). On continue ensuite en introduisant un nouveau graphème qui sera ajouté au paquet de cartes”.
