Phonics, Reading and Me by Learning Without Tears

PHONICS Reading Reading, PHONICS, Me and Me™ and PHONICS

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

ESSA Level III

Phonics, Reading, and Me (PRM) demonstrated statistically significant impact on high-utility phonics skill growth among K-3rd grade students in an efficacy study conducted by LearnPlatform, resulting in Promising Evidence ESSA Level III. Students’ literacy skill proficiency grew significantly over the course of PRM’s lesson sequence. Those students who started with below-level literacy skills increased at a faster rate compared to other students over the course of PRM’s lesson sequence.

For students overall, their skills grew by 17.5% over the course of four lessons (slope = 0.175, p <.001); for students who started below level, their skills grew by 32.7% (slope = 0.327, p <.001), and for students who started on level, their skills grew by 8.8% overall (slope = 0.088, p <.001).

Ways to Manage Phonics, Reading, and Me in the Classroom

LEARNING CENTERS

CO-TEACHING

The teacher leads one small group while practice takes place in centers where students rotate. If there are multiple adults in the room, the teacher leads one small group and a student teacher, paraprofessional, or parent volunteer facilitates the other groups.

TEACHER GROUP AND CLASS

While the teacher leads one group, the rest of the class works at their seats. If the class has access to 1:1 devices, all students can go online for practice in Student Digital Learning.

Teacher Lesson Card

The Lesson Card provides teaching points for each phonics skill and every book in the text set

Lessons in each unit are connected by a knowledge-building theme and broad skills category

The first page of the Lesson Card provides everything a teacher needs to get started

Long e Spelled

ABOUT

THIS LESSON

Primary Phonics Skill Objectives

• Decode and encode long e words spelled with ee and ea

• Read long e vowel team words in connected text.

Secondary Phonics Skill: long e words spelled ey Phonemic Awareness Skill: blend and segment spoken words with medial long vowel sounds

Comprehension Focus: describe characters in a story

UNIT 4

Use the Read Aloud Card to review the unit theme, vocabulary, and phonics skill category. Use the Formative Assessment Card for more responsive support.

Theme: Animals in Groups Skills Category: Vowel Teams for Long Vowel Sounds

ABOUT THIS TEXT SET

Knowledge Building: In the nonfiction texts, children continue learning about animals that live in groups. They learn about the traits of sheep. They learn vocabulary such as bleat, group, flock, and sheep

Figuring Out Feelings: In the fiction texts, children explore habits of Belonging and Kindness.

BEFORE READING

Warm Up with Phonemic Awareness

Phoneme Segmenting and Blending: Say the word. Guide children to segment the word into its sounds, and then blend those sounds together to say the whole word.

seat /s/ /ē/ /t/ week /w/

cheek /ch/ /ē/ /k/ please /p/

Introduce Phonics Skill: Long ee, ea

• Introduce the skill with the Long e SoundSpelling card for the sound /e/ and spellings.

• Say: The letters ee together and ea together both stand for the long e sound.

• Write the vowel teams ea and ee on a whiteboard, as well as sheep and beach Say the words aloud together as you underline ee and ea.

Prepare to Read

IF NEEDED

Review words, concepts, and other text complexities of the book to anticipate children’s challenges. Consider the oral language

WORDS TO WATCH IN THE STUDENT BOOK

Primary Skill Words ee: whee, need, green, see, sheep, feet, meet, beep ea: neat, beach, please, sea, bleat

Secondary Skill Words ey: key

High-Frequency Words Regular: this, is, I, it, that, a, can, see, will, use, at, not, with, no, on, get, in, with, we Irregular: what, for, the, do, to, have, you, my, of

Story Words (not decodable) group, belong

Knowledge Building Words bleat: a sound that sheep and goats make group: a number of things, people, or animals that are together sheep: animals that have a lot of wool (a kind of hair) on their bodies

WHAT MAKES THE STUDENT BOOK RICH

Get to know the book so you’re ready to support children when they need it. BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE LANGUAGE PRINT AND TEXT STRUCTURE

• Sheep often need to have their wool sheared. Having their hair taken off means they don’t get too hot in the summer.

• Inflatable inner tubes are water toys. Chidren know other meanings for tube

• Sand can be very hot at a beach in summer or at a tropical location.

• Sheep is a word that is both singular (one sheep) and plural (three sheep).

• The word whee can be said when someone sees or does something fun.

• In this story, belong means something is in the right place, like children belong at school.

• “This is neat!” means that someone really likes something. Neat also means clean.

• This story is fantasy with talking animals as the characters in the story. Speech bubbles are used to show when each character is talking.

• Words for sounds (beep and bleat) appear on the page, outside of the body text.

TEACHER LESSON CARD

Invite children to discuss responses with a partner before sharing with the small group. Encourage speaking in complete sentences and provide oral sentence frames, as needed. Examples: I felt like I did not belong when ___. I was upset because ___.

Point out when future tense appears in the text, starting with p. 4: “I will use it at the beach.” Have children practice building off the “I will” repetition in the book, and challenge them to use long e words, such as: I will eat. I will meet a friend. I will need new socks.

Progress Monitoring

Spelling Quick Skills Check: Dictate words with short and long e. Have children write them on double-lined paper: leg, feed, bed, heat. If children have difficulty, segment the sounds, model stretching continuous sounds (e.g., /sss/, / mmm/,/lll/, /rrr/) or bouncing stop sounds (e.g., /t/, /p/, /g/), inserting pauses between the sounds for further support. For challenge, use sentences: We need a meal. He sets up a feast. See p. 56 of the Program Guide for more spelling dictation as students use p. 57 of the Reading Response Journal.

MAKE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS

Reading Response Journals give students the opportunity to apply new phonics skills to meaningful writing about the text through prompted writing exercises As students learn to decode words with each skill, they also write them This reading-writing connection strengthens key literacy skills

• A Reading Response Journal is provided for each set: A, B, C, and D The two pages per lesson practice the targeted skill while engaging students with the connected text

• Tips for differentiating the response pages are provided in the Teacher Lesson Card, providing more support or challenge to students based on their level of proficiency

SET B

The interactive pages encourage students to practice the targeted skill words and connect to the unit themes by responding to text

SET A

At the earliest level, students are asked to draw then encode/ spell words with the target skill from the connected text sets

“Your teeth are green!” said

“Green?” asked Finley.

“Still green?” asked Finley.

“No, Finley,” said Bree.

“Bleat! Bleat” yelled Finley.

Finley drank a tall glass of sweet peach tea.

Finley drank a big jug of sweet cream.

“Are my teeth clean yet?” Finley asked.

Write about Bree and Finley.
