It’s Giving Tuesday 🥳 and we teamed up with @hand2mindinc to give you something extra special this year…

1. @hand2mindinc will send two randomly selected winners a bundle of their favorite magnetic letters and wands. We used them to play this match and cover game but they’re an addictively fun way to practice spelling names, sorting consonants and vowels, writing CVC words… the list goes on and on.

2. We’re giving everyone this playful match and cover F-R-E-E-B-I-E! Since we love making differentiation easy for you, we pulled together three different versions so you can print off a set for students who are practicing beginning consonants, vowels, or digraphs.

It’s a Giving Tuesday two-for-one!

To enter the giveaway and get the freebie:

🍎 Follow @hand2mindinc and @playdough2plato.

🍎 Like and save this post.

🍎 Comment GIVING below and our friendly Plato-Bot will send you the match and cover activity!

THE GIVEAWAY WINNERS ARE: @angela.nati14 & @sunshinesarah94!🥳

Did you know this?! 😍 S say /s/ at the start of a word and after an unvoiced sound. But 60% of the time it actually says /z/ instead! That’s because it makes the /z/ sound when it follows voiced sounds including m, n, ng, l, b, d, g, v, voiced th, and r.

It helps to remember it this way…

The difference between saying /s/ and /z/ is simply turning on your voice box. If your voice box is already working for the sound that comes right before it, your voice box might as well stay on to pronounce the S too!

For instance, listen for the /z/ sound in these words:

Beds
Logs
His
As
Is

The S follows a voiced sound in every example so the S is also voiced and sounds like /z/. 💡

👉 Be sure to save this, so you remember how to teach it to students later.

👉 And tag a teacher friend who would love it too!

STOP scrolling! 🛑 If you have students who are struggling to read three letter words like TOP, CAT & SUN, you don’t want to miss this!

For beginning readers, those middle vowel sounds can be especially tricky but you can help with a strategy called backwards decoding. Here’s how it works...

Instead of having students read left to right, take off the beginning sound so they can first focus on the ending rime: OP.

Then add on the beginning sound and have them read the entire word: TOP.

Continue reading just the rime and then adding on a different beginning sound to help make that rime really stick: OP, MOP, OP, COP, OP, BOP…

The name “backwards decoding” really says it all – students are starting at the back (the rime), and then popping back up to the beginning.

👉 You can make your own backwards decoding activities like this one using Unifix letter cubes or you can grab a batch of done-go-you Google slides that make it easy to set up whole group practice or small group centers. Just comment BACKWARDS below and our friendly Plato-Bot will send you the info.❤️

Old school sight word lists like Dolch and Fry are organized by how frequently the words are written… But that means students are forced to focus on VERY different phonics skills in the exact same week.

For instance, if you are learning the words THE, AND & HAVE, students will have to tackle:

THE - digraph TH, schwa E
AND - the short A
HAVE - silent E that doesn’t make a long vowel sound

And that’s just with three words, let alone the five or 10 you might actually be studying in a week!

But luckily, there’s an easier way! Instead of sorting words by their frequency, sort them by phonics skill. Then you can dive into all of the AN words one week and all of the AT words the next…

Organizing your list by phonics skill is a simple little tweak that has an incredibly powerful impact on students’ learning!

It’s ba-ack! 🤸‍♂️💃🏼🕺 And we couldn’t be more excited. For the third year in a row, we’re teaming up with Alex from @thekindergartenconnection for a Friendsgiving event you won’t want to miss.

Just like past years, we bundled together a mega pack of exclusive centers you can’t find anywhere else – not on Pinterest, or Facebook, or the blog…

That’s cool but what makes this absolutely *amazing* is that 100% of your purchase goes directly to a nonprofit helping children in need. This year y’all chose to give every penny to @stjude Children’s Research Hospital. That means when you grab a bundle, it’ll be a win for your classroom and a win for catastrophic disease research and treatment.

👉 Comment FRIENDS below, and the Plato-bot will happily send you the link. Just make sure to grab it by November 6th.

👉 Feel free to share this with other teachers, who would love it too!

You’ve gotta try this phonemic awareness activity! 🎃 Just grab some candy pumpkins, orange playdough, or orange Skittles to theme it up and you’re ready to go.

(Research has shown that phonemic awareness is a major key to unlocking students’ reading growth so the more practice we can give kids, the better.)

1️⃣ Children will say a word,

2️⃣ Tap the sound they hear with their fingers,

3️⃣ Slide one pumpkin into each sound box for every sound they hear again,

4️⃣ And slide their finger below the arrow as they blend the sounds together.

That’s it! Easy peasy (but incredibly powerful!) learning.

In honor of our 100K milestone, I created 100 beginning sound task cards that make it easy to practice phonemic awareness (hearing the individual sounds in words) AND phonics (connecting those sounds to written letters).

Just print the cards, laminate if you need some extra durability, and grab a basket of letters.

(Swipe to see three different letter options!)

It’s my way of saying “thanks for helping our community grow 100,000 strong”. ❤️

Every single like, share, and tag has made this possible. I’m forever grateful that you continue to spread the word about the science of reading so we can help EVERY child get bigger reading growth. You are helping create a more successful future for our world.💪

Kids’ favorite literacy center! 🥇 They’ll actually ASK to repeat this one.

To play it, grab your supplies: Matchbox cars, sticker dots, Post It notes and a Sharpie.

1️⃣ Write beginning sounds on one sticker color…

2️⃣ And word endings on another. In this example, I’m sticking with short A word endings like AP, AT & AN.

3️⃣ Attach one sticker to each car.

4️⃣ Stick matching Post Its down to make parking spots.

5️⃣ Then drive & read!

5 simple ways to add the science of reading to your classroom! 💥

1️⃣ Practice phonological awareness every day. Research has shown that holes in students’ phonological awareness are a leading cause of reading difficulties.

2️⃣ Work on phonics every day too. We now know that students do not just “naturally” learn how to read - the vast majority of children must be explicitly taught the letter-sound connections to reach their fullest reading potential.

3️⃣ Sort your sight words by phonics skill so students can hone in on just one letter-sound connection at a time. For instance, work on all of the TH words like THIS and THAT at the same time.

4️⃣ Swap out sight word flashcards for sound maps. (Research has shown they help students memorize words 10 times faster!🤯)

5️⃣ Join The Reading Roadmap to get all of the science of reading knowledge & print-and-go tools you need in one spot. Enrollment only happens twice a year and it’s go time! Snag your spot before the doors close again on October 6.

This is the easiest word chain teacher hack around! 🥇 Instead of getting stuck trying to come up with complete word chains on your own, just print these done-for-you lists.

They’re just one of the hundreds of sanity stating teaching tools you’ll get inside the Reading Roadmap PD! What sets this training apart is that the science of reading-based teaching knowledge you gain is matched with easy to use printables that make implementation a walk in the park. It’s a complete teacher-friendly system!

Our alums’ transformations are so inspiring - teachers leave more confident, empowered, and excited to help ALL of their students have huge reading growth…. Clearly, I could go on and on! 😂

The doors only open twice a year and this enrollment ends on October 6th.
