– In my current classroom, 25% of my students need more time practicing foundational skills because they simply do not know how to read in 3rd grade or are EL students who need more practice. Another 70% needs more multisensory approaches to cement the skills they have but are not totally permanent as yet. The other 5% are doing well because they have mastered these skills.
– Some of my favorite strategies for teaching phonemic awareness and phonics are dance and movement.
