Guided Phonics: Systematic, Sequential, Structured Phonics Skill Groups

Guided Phonics: Systematic, Sequential, Structured Phonics Skill Groups

A brand new Hello Literacy PD with science of reading in mind. Want or need to group your students by phonics skill not reading level? Jen Jones will walk you through the structures of small group guided phonics instruction + skill based phonemic awareness.

In this one day PD, teachers will grow their knowledge in the following shifts in literacy instruction through the lens of small group guided phonics based using a structured literacy lesson template she created using the essential structures of small group phonics instruction:

PD Agenda/Objectives:

• Phonics terminology to increase teacher knowledge
• Hello Literacy Scope & Phonics Sequence, developed by Jen
• Orientation to the 3-day Guided Literacy lesson cycle
• Administering the Quick Placement Assessment to group students by phonics skill
• Phonological awareness vs. phonemic awareness
• Phonemic Awareness with and without letters
• General phonemic awareness vs. targeted phonemic awareness
• Shifting from sight to sound 
• Orthographic mapping as a mental process to Sound-Symbol Mapping as a hands-on process
• Sound Decks for mimicking decoding & encoding review of past skills taught
• Explicit & sequential instruction of new phonics skills from simple to complex*
• Decoding Practice of new phonics skill
• Spelling Dictation (Encoding Practice) of new phonics skill: Sound, Word, HFW, Sentence
• Use of Decodable Books, developed by Jen & 100% aligned to her Scope & Skill Sequence, to practice reading the new phonics skill in connected, controlled text, aligned to the scope & sequence so the book only contains words & phonics patterns previously taught.
• Continued phonics practice through games & activities like Vowel Ladders, Word Chains, Making Words, Word Sorts, Bridges & Circles, Bingo & Connect Four.

*If you currently use The Secret Stories in your classroom, this PD will show you where you can incorporate the teaching and practice of those phonogram letter behaviors & stories BUT this PD does not require that you have them and assumes that most classrooms do not.
