These are video lessons for teaching literacy based on the science of reading.

You'll need: a whiteboard and a dry erase marker - or a virtual whiteboard (E.g., Figjam) if teaching online.

Be sure to go through the lessons in order and do not skip the introduction lessons.

Heart Word Magic is a complimentary teaching tool designed to help students learn to read and spell high-frequency words and sight words, particularly those that aren’t very decodable.

Show your students the animations, then try the fun, hands-on free Student Practice Activities.

This site offers instructional activities for irregular and high frequency words. Not all words use the most common phoneme-grapheme correspondences, but most words are at least partially decodable. Many words appear so frequently in text that children need to learn them before they have been taught the necessary phoneme-grapheme correspondences. The resources on this site provide a range of options for you to teach such words.

This video demonstrates at home make and beak word literacy strategies that you can do at home with your kids.

"The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.

Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials."

Activities for: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension

From UFLI - "An irregular word is one that cannot be readily decoded because either:
o it includes grapheme-phoneme correspondences that are unique to that word or a few words (permanently irregular words), or
o the student has not yet learned all the grapheme-phoneme correspondences in the word (temporarily irregular words).

Contrary to popular belief, students should not be taught to memorize irregular words by sight. In most irregular words, only one or two letters do not conform to their usual sound correspondence. This means that most irregular words are at least partially decodable. Rather than relying on visual memorization, instruction in irregular words should promote students’ orthographic mapping. This means that the focus should be on connecting the letters in the word to the sounds they represent, even if the correspondence is an unusual one. To teach new irregular words, you should guide your students in
identifying the irregular part of the word—the letter or letters that don’t follow regular phonetic rules. These are the parts of irregular words that must be learned “by heart.”

These short videos (about 5 minutes on average) teach all about how words and reading works!

There are videos for:
*Phonemic awareness
*Syllable types
*Blending words
*Grammar skills
*Vocabulary
*Story elements

I suggest you click "playlists" as well to find playlists for: fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, syllable types, etc.
