Phonics | Targeted Independent Practice

$ 29⁹⁹

The Targeted Independent Practice: Phonics program has been specifically designed to provide meaningful, diagnostically-assessed phonics lessons for students to complete as independent work while teachers work with small groups. The lessons and worksheets provide research-based explicit, structured literacy (systematic phonics) instruction and practice to quickly and efficiently differentiate instruction, according to the results of the Vowel Sounds Phonics Assessment and the Consonant Sounds Phonics Assessment (included in the program).

Although previous teachers have taught phonics to our students, often students do have gaps in their skills. Your students probably have mastered some, but not all common sound-spellings. The Targeted Independent Practice: Phonics program is ideal for these students. Students practice what they need to learn, not what they have already mastered. Easy classroom management.

The Targeted Independent Practice: Phonics program is divided among seven phonics components.

Short Vowel Sounds
Consonant-Final e
Consonant Digraphs
Consonant Clusters
Long Vowels
Diphthongs
r–controlled vowels

Each of the components takes 4 to 5 days of 15–20 minutes instruction and practice. The instructional design is the same for each of the seven phonics components lessons above.

ü The teacher reads and explains three brief scripted phonics lessons for each of the seven phonics components, using the Animal Sound-Spelling Cards.

ü After the brief lessons, students complete targeted worksheets as independent practice and self-correct to learn from their own mistakes.

ü The teacher administers a 30-second individual formative assessment after students complete the worksheets and records mastery on the Phonics Assessment Mastery Matrix.

No prep. Scripted instruction for the brief teacher lessons. No outside correction. Easy progress-monitoring. Students only work on un-mastered phonics skills, as indicated by the diagnostic assessments.
