Meredith Holmes introduces the program and
explains how parents will learn to help their
students improve reading comprehension and
fluency.
3
Amanda Long explains how to divide words into the
sounds we hear as the words are said.
4
Cubes that represent the sounds heard in a word
are placed in the circle.
5
As each sound in the word is said, a cube is
moved to the arrow below.
6
First you demonstrate the process to the child,
next do it with the child, finally, the child
moves the cubes independently as they say the
sounds in the word.
7
Words may have 2, 3, 4 or more sounds. It is not
necessary for the child to see the word to do
this activity.
8
Making words involves changing only one letter in
the word to make a new word.
9
Children work with a mat and letters to make
words. They change the letters to make new words
at the direction of the teacher or parent.
10
Vowels are a different color than the consonants.
11
Children point to the letters as the word is
said, connecting the letter to the sound that it
makes.
12
Reading stories aloud with the child and using
question stems helps them improve comprehension.
13
Each parent received a set of questions to use
with their child to develop comprehension.
14
The questions cover a wide range of skills, from
recall of information to analysis and synthesis
of information read.
15
Jane discusses the importance of reading to and
with your child to help develop comprehension.
