Post: I need help with READING!Posted by ANG on 10/03/03
I was very stressed out yesterday when I got home and NEED
help from anyone! For my reading program my school uses the
Houghten Mifflin reading series AND the land of the letter
series. What I have been doing is just following the
Houghten Mifflin series and then adding the letter people
with that. Anyways with this series the Hougthen mifflin
introduces letters (one letter a week) and the sound that
goes with that letter all in one week. Then eventually each
letter builds on eachother to make words and small stories.
Well I teach a letter a week with this series and I have
taught the letter and sound of a, d and n. Anyways
yesterday we started a book where the children had to sound
out words with these letters in them. Ex: Dad and Dan.
About half of the children were clueless as to what we were
doing. They were struggling finding the sound of the letter
(unsure what sound it makes). They also seemed even unsure
that letters made up words and EVEN what way to read the
word. I just feel at a loss and and unsure what to do.
They struggle SOO much connecting sounds as well to make up
words. What should I do? Is there any really good books I
could use or rescources you have used? How do you introduce
reading and phonics to the children? HELP!!
