Teaching and response guide
- Model the target skill: recognize and read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words with automaticity. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Read a short sentence and blend familiar letter-sound patterns.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: A familiar-looking word may not fit the sentence; reread the whole sentence after choosing.
Watch for: A familiar-looking word may not fit the sentence; reread the whole sentence after choosing.
