First, you helped him make those connections by explicit phonemic awareness instruction, and second, back in my day (yes, old lady Love here), we were also explicitly taught aeiou and sometimes y. This was 1970-1971. My much younger collegues who are the product of whole language lament the fact they were never taught about sounds, or word "chunking" or looking for patterns. And now I'm faced with about 130 13-14 year olds who cannot read well or recognize what we would consider high frequency words. <br /><br />Long comment short: Keep doing what you're doing. I wish more teachers would embrace the need for both explicit and whole instructional methods when the learning calls for it.Old Lady Lovehttp://blog0rama.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489135.post-68790500514126426462010-10-06T06:21:15.962-04:002010-10-06T06:21:15.962-04:00I THINK I changed the feed, but I'm not positi...I THINK I changed the feed, but I'm not positive... to be totally honest, I'm not sure what changed in the first place, please let me know if it's 'back' to normal. :)Mr. Halpernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594681597813545284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489135.post-75306983276231863282010-10-06T00:36:12.629-04:002010-10-06T00:36:12.629-04:00Me too.
