Imagine being 10 years old and struggling to read a word that only has 3 letters? Scary, frustrating, embarrassing and incredibly challenging when your brain just can't learn this skill automatically. These are my children and their stories vary from my precious second grade twin who is working so diligently on s-t-r-e-tch-i-n-g out words so he hears and feels each sound to spell it to my 5th grader who, when decoding those crazy nonsense words, is perplexed when it comes to following one of the 7 syllable type patterns to read a make believe word. For almost 4 decades, I have been extremely blessed to be a child champion and one of their greatest cheerleaders to hundreds of decoding challenged children, who without prescriptive, explicit, research based intensive instruction, will be the non-readers of our future. Using an eclectic approach to teaching the art of reading, I realize that repetitive practice, using a variety of well created materials, is key. The results have been nothing short of miraculous. but due to a recent move from CT to AZ, I find myself without these opportunities for my students as I left these materials at my school in CT.
