What is the R-controlled syllable?

Systematic and Explicit phonics instruction
Direct teaching of letter sound relationships in defined sequence
SYSTEMATIC: Useful sound/spelling relationships taught in a clearly defined, carefully selected, logical instructional sequence. (scope and sequence)
EXPLICIT: Concepts are clearly explained and skills are clearly modeled without vagueness or ambiguity
What is embedded phonics?
Children are taught letter-sound relationships during the reading of connected text
Introduced skills informally as needed
NOT THE BEST WAY
Describe the rational for decodable texts?
VS LEVELLED BOOKS, decodable texts:
1) They’re phonetically decodable
2) Words are used within phonics level
3) Can use strategies for sounding out words
4) Irregular/more advanced phonics words are introduced gradually
5) Illustrations are supportive of text
Regular words
Can be decoded by sounding out letter sounds
Irregular Words (2 Types)
cannot be easily decoded: some parts must be learned “by heart”
1) Temporarily irregular: become decodable once students learn new spelling patterns (or, all, ou as in cloud, cve as in hope, oo as in foot)
2) Permanently irregular: once (wuns), of (uv), one (wun), two (too), could (cood)

What are Elkonin Boxes?
Used to build phonological awareness skills by having children segment spoken words into their individual sounds
Used during phonological awareness and encoding instruction (one box for each sound)
Phonological awareness
Ability to recognize and manipulate the spoken parts of words, including syllables, onset-rime, and phonemes
