What is PAF? - My Learning Springboard. Last edited Feb 27, 2017 @ 9:57 pm Preventing Academic Failure, or PAF, is a multisensory, Orton-Gillingham based reading intervention program that integrates reading, writing, and spelling. PAF was developed by Phyllis Bertin, Director of Reading at the Windward Teacher Training Institute, and Eileen Perlman, former Director of the Reading Initiative at The Churchill School and Center.
The principles and practice of PAF are incredibly beneficial to students with dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities as well as younger students learning to read. The specific goals of the program, or intervention, are to give students the tools to read cohesively, write fluidly, and spell with ease. PAF was designed for classroom instruction but can be modified for private tutoring. While it is not a scripted program and strict set of rules, it is a carefully designed scope and sequence with specific methodologies and materials.

Transcript Hi again, and welcome back to Seattle Learning Academy's American English pronunciation podcast. My name is Mandy, and this is our 159th episode. English is a phonetic language. That means that there is a relationship between the spelling of a word and its pronunciation.
However, as you have probably already discovered, the pronunciation of lots of words in English don't match their spelling. For example, a classic non-phonetic word is the word said. Since the word said is non-phonetic, it is included in the short e lesson, along with the words says, friend, guest, and again. Saidsaysfriendguestagain Not just vowels have non-phonetic words, though. Repeat those words after me, using the sh sound (sh sound): sureoceanissuesugar Let's do one more example. Repeat those words after me, using the or sound: fourfloordoor To help you remember the concept of non-phonetic words, I'll have you repeat these examples after me again. short e (short e): sh sound: or sound:
Struggling with the past tense: Verbal acquisition of -ed forms following monophthongs in verbs. Struggling with the past tense: Verbal acquisition of -ed forms following monophthongs in verbs By Beth Crumpler This is the third in a series of three articles about struggling with past tense -ed and instructional techniques to help. We are continuing the series on ELL pronunciation struggles with the past tense -ed.
The articles published in this series: Part 1: Struggling with the past tense: Verbal acquisition of -ed forms of verbs and Part 2: Struggling with the past tense: Verbal acquisition of -ed forms following monophthongs in verbs. In this third part of the series, we are addressing verbal fluency of past tense -ed following monophthongs, one vowel sound in one syllable. Using -ed after a monophthong is much easier than when it comes after a diphthong. The same -ed pronunciation concept applies to verbs that end in vowels. With frequent pronunciation practice and reinforcement, ELLs will gain fluent acquisition of the various vowel sounds.

Choose a book from one of the Clifford phonics collections or classics such as Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain, Clifford's Puppy Days, The Bike Lesson, New Shoes for Sylvia, or The Troll Music.
Step 2: Explain to students how slight differences in a word spelling can affect its vowel sound. Demonstrate this point by listing on the chalkboard word pairs such as: rat/rate, bit/bite, cot/coat, fed/feed, and cub/cube. Have volunteers read each word pair, noting the different vowel sounds each word in the pair makes. Guide them to recognize that just one added letter changed the vowel sound from short to long. Step 3: Take students to the first page of Emily Elizabeth Goes to School Student Activity. Step 4: Students can click to hear the third sentence read aloud. Step 5: Repeat the same process with the following story pages. Day 2 Step 1: Review the list of words created the day before. Kindergarten Reading & Writing Lesson Plans. Phonics.

Spelling VI: Phonograms – Plumfield and Paideia. Part six of our Spelling Series: diphthong – A complex speech sound beginning with one vowel sound and moving to another vowel or semivowel position within the same syllable (Webster’s II, 1984). Somehow it helps me a little that the definition of a diphthong uses the word “complex?” Because that word sounds complicated. Its roots go way back through French and Latin to two Greek words meaning, “two sounds.” Not so complicated, right? We could also refer to these letter combinations as two-letter (or three or four-letter) phonograms.
We’ve talked about the vowel combinations, phonograms or diphthongs, that can make the sounds of each of the vowels’ names. Ow may not look like a vowel combination, but it has the same sounds as ou, which can have either the sound in now or the sound in know. Sometimes ou sounds more like uh, but this is probably a change in pronunciation somewhere along the line rather than an actual spelling oddity. This story repeats itself when it comes to aw and au. Teaching Preschoolers Phonograms - Raising Robust Readers. Teaching Pre-schoolers Phonogram Sounds Not surprisingly, my daughter-in-law, Mandy, teaches my four-year-old granddaughter phonograms.
She embraces “Wordy’s Way” by teaching Carley phonograms here and there throughout the day. In fact, Mandy started by just singing the jingles to her when Carley was around 6 months old. She did the gestures with the jingles, and Carley would copy her hand movements. Today I received this text message: "Carley and I were playing.
“z oo c ee n e” is what she came up with. Mandy said to me, "I am sure not all moms are asking their children (especially at 4) how to spell zucchini.

Print this page [Click on the photos to see a larger version] Phonics instruction helps children learn and apply the alphabetic principle, which is the understanding of the connection between written letters and spoken sound. Reading is a complex task especially for beginning readers. These readers must manage many cognitive processes occurring simultaneously (e.g., recognizing words; constructing meaning of words and sentences; taking new information and relating it to their background knowledge). A critical part of this complex task for beginning readers involves making connections between letters and sounds and various spelling patterns. Beginning readers must learn to apply these connections to their reading and spelling. Systematic, explicit phonics instruction has been shown to be the best way to ensure that primary grade children become fluent readers, improving word recognition and spelling achievement as well as reading comprehension.

Wandering through Wonders: McGraw-Hill Wonders Second Grade Overview - EduKate and Inspire. My school district recently adopted McGraw-Hill Wonders as our new K-6 reading series. Previously, we were using a variety of series and resources to meet our students' needs. In my 8 years of teaching, this will be the first year I've had a reading curriculum that addresses {most of} our standards! If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you might know that using a basal to teach is not exactly my style, so this is a HUGE change for me.
In an ideal world, I would use a reading workshop model to teach whole group mini-lessons with trade books and then differentiate with leveled readers in small groups. I am still planning on using a reading workshop model, but I will be integrating Wonders into the model. I hope to blog about Wonders throughout the year to share about the integration process. According to McGraw-Hill, Wonders is the first and only reading program designed specifically for the Common Core. 3) Multiple Selections: Both textbooks include multiple selections each week.
