Teaching Guide In order to use this book, students should know the sounds of the letters of the alphabet and be able to blend the letter sounds in a word from left to right ( sound it out ) to pronounce it. If the students can t do this yet, they should begin with Learning the Alphabet and Short Vowel Words, available from Sound City Reading. After students have mastered the alphabet sounds and have learned to read short vowel words, they will still be frustrated if they try to read regular books. That is because there are many sounds in our language that are not represented by the letters of the alphabet, such as sh/ship, th/thumb, oy/boy, and ow/cow. In order to read even the simplest material, students must learn these beyond the alphabet sound patterns. This book is designed to teach these patterns as quickly and efficiently as possible. The print is large, with color coding highlighting each new pattern, so that young readers can focus on the desired letters and follow the print easily. After their initial introduction, letters that work together are underlined so that students will see them as a single unit of sound. The words taught are carefully selected to include many of the most common words that the student will encounter in materials for beginning readers. To avoid confusion, sight words are kept to a minimum. In many of the most common sight words, a single vowel, usually a or o, represents the u/umbrella sound, instead of the normal a/ant or o/ox sound. Examples include the words a, was, what, of, from, and son. To help students read these words, a small umbrella is placed over the vowel to remind the student to use the /u/ sound. Other words are difficult to read because one or more of the letters are not sounded. Examples include the words wren, lamb, and through. Whenever this type of word is introduced, a small x will be placed above the silent letter to show that it is not to be pronounced. Have the student study the pages in order, starting with page one. First, the student will read words with each of the five short vowel sounds. Then, six sight words are introduced so that the student can read sentences with the short vowel words. Next, the student will study the patterns needed to read Hop on Pop (Random House, 1963) by Dr. Seuss. The patterns are taught in order, so that the student can read a page or two from the book with each pattern studied, starting at the beginning, and continuing until the book is finished. After completing Hop on Pop, students will read other children s books, learning patterns from those books, until all of the common 3

phonics patterns have been studied. To introduce each new pattern, read the pages with that pattern from Hop on Pop. Point out the word with the new pattern. Pronounce the word slowly so that the student can hear each sound in the word separately. Show the students the letters that represent the new sound. Then show the letter pattern and sound picture on the related page in this book. Model the sound and have the student repeat. Read the key word at the top of the page, point out the picture, and have the student repeat it. Have the student read the words and sentences on the page containing the new pattern. Help by modeling and giving guidance as needed. Reading the page more than once will build confidence and fluency. If the student stumbles over any of the words in the sentences, go back to the previous page that teaches the pattern in that word. Go over the pattern, and have the student reread the page. Then, have the student read the new pages in Hop on Pop. Next, have the student start at the beginning of the book, and reread any pages that have been studied previously, up to and including the new pages. The parent or teacher may read ahead in the story any day while the student listens. Adjust the pacing to fit the need of the student. Many students will do well learning one new pattern per day. Some students will need to go more slowly. Students who are already reading may work through the material quickly as a review. A spelling workbook is available to reinforce the patterns that are taught in this book. At the end of the lesson, have the student complete the appropriate page. Other beneficial activities include having the student spell several of the new words and one sentence from dictation. The student should not copy the material. He or she should learn to listen to the sounds in the words and write them to produce the correct spelling. Sight words (such as the umbrella words mentioned above) should be posted for easy reference. Students who find the dictation activity difficult will benefit from using small plastic letters to build each word from dictation. The teacher will be able to see where the student is making mistakes and help the student see how to correct them.
