We know students thrive on routine, but how does the concept of routine work in the classroom setting during phonics instruction? Join us as we explore what the ideal classroom environment should look like, sound like, and be like during foundational skills lessons. Picture this: Students eagerly engaged in activities like listening, repeating, decoding, encoding, and applying skills to text.
Jessica Farmer of Farmer Loves Phonics will highlight several routines for different aspects of the primary reading block and what literacy coaches, administrators, and others should look for during an observation of these lessons—and how to help classroom teachers integrate these routines.
During this episode, you'll discover:
- What phonics instruction looks like and sounds like in the primary classroom
- Lesson structure breakdown for whole-group instruction
- Routines for decoding and encoding practice
- The benefits of choral response during word blending, dictation, and fluency practice exercises
