17.01.2022 The fructificative goosefoot was foveolariously assembled. The frugivorous and frowsy masticator, whose epidermis was of variegated fuchsinophillic consistency..., masticated her chenopodiaceous repast morosely. Were you able to make meaning from this passage? What would happen if I asked you comprehension questions after you read this? Do you think you'd get them correct? If not, would that mean you need help with comprehension strategies? No. The problem is you had to slowly decode the words. The problem is that these words aren't in your vocabulary. Problems with words ----------> Problems with comprehension. Period. (From DIane McGinness "Why Our Children Can't Read and What We Can Do About" It p. 16)

17.01.2022 Phonics vs morphology? Why we need both! Some teachers believe that phonics is redundant once kids are fluent readers. We believe we still need to use phoni...cs alongside of morphology as kids encounter longer curriculum-based words with Greek and Latin roots. Here is our blog post on this. https://www.phonicbooks.co.uk//phonics-vs-morphology-why-/ See more

01.01.2022 How to teach the word 'was' with a phonics approach. The word 'was' will appear very early on in child's literacy journey. How can we introduce it to a student... without encouraging him/her to learn it by sight? The child will most probably already know how to read 2/3 of the word as he/she will have learned the letter and will probably have encountered the letter spelling the sound /z/ as in the words is, his has. So, the tricky part in the word 'was' is the letter spelling the sound /o/. Students need to learn that letters can spell different sounds. Here is how to teach it in a visual way that is consistent with mapping letters and the sounds they spell.
