The Sound Wall materials provided here align with the UFLI Foundations lessons. Included in the UFLI Sound Wall set are the following:

phoneme cards with mouth pictures to represent the articulatory gesture associated with each phoneme,

labels for the sound wall displays, including the place and manner of articulation for consonants, and

grapheme cards that can be added to the sound wall one at a time, as the grapheme-phoneme correspondences are taught.

We have also provided printable version of the Individual Sound wall charts. You may choose to glue them into a file folder for each student or print them front/back to laminate. These may also be enlarged and printed as posters if your classroom space does not allow for the full UFLI Sound Wall displays.

The technique of phoneme-grapheme mapping, which uses a grid to show how sounds map to letters and letter groups.
Mapping begins with students segmenting the sounds in a word and moving chips into boxes in a grid (Elkonin Box) as they say each phoneme.
Fundementals:
1) one box always represents one sound
2)there is no inventive spelling
3) dialogue matters, ask students: "What sounds do you hear?" and "What letters do you write?"
4) as students name the letters for each sound, they write them in each box.

Yes, yes I'm guilty of participating in one minute timed fluency tests, which encourage students to read as quickly as possible. And if the kid is really experienced in the one minute timed test, he knows that skipping over words is fine because reading as many words as possible is all that matters.

Fluency - The Bridge Between Decoding and Comprehension

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fluency is the ability to read a text with accuracy, automaticity, and prosody (expression) sufficient to enable comprehension. Fluency is a key skill to becoming a strong reader because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension.

Letter of completion

After completing this module and successfully answering the post-test questions, you'll be able to download a Letter of Completion.

Why fluency is important

When fluent readers read silently, they recognize words automatically. They group words quickly to help them gain meaning from what they read. Fluent readers read aloud effortlessly and with expression - their reading sounds natural, as if they are speaking, an aspect of fluency that is termed prosody. Readers who have not yet developed fluency read slowly, word by word. Their oral reading is choppy and lacks prosody.

Fluency is important for several reasons. First, fluent reading is a foundation for good reading comprehension. Because fluent readers do not have to concentrate on decoding words, they can focus their attention on what the text means. They can make connections between the ideas in the text and their background knowledge.

In other words, fluent readers recognize words and comprehend at the same time. Reading fluency also affects a child's motivation to read. Children (and adults!) typically do not enjoy activities that feel burdensome and difficult. When children's reading is not fluent, they often don't enjoy reading, and they are less inclined to practice reading, which may contribute even further to a decline in their reading skills.

In addition, learning to read fluently helps children become better prepared for the demands of the upper grades.

In the middle school and high school, students are usually expected to do a lot of independent reading. Even if students can read accurately, if they are not fluent, they may take much longer to complete their schoolwork.

Fluent reading is a product of strong decoding and strong language comprehension. Less fluent readers,however, must focus their attention on figuring out the words, leaving them little attention for understanding the text.
Fluency is important because it frees students to understand what they read!
Adapted from: Put Reading First: The Research Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read Kindergarten Through Grade 3, a publication of The Partnership for Reading.

Phonics Instruction: An Excerpt from The National Reading Panel

Phonics Instruction: An Excerpt from The National Reading Panel

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As a licenced teacher and later as a principal, I have successfully educated more than 300 students ranging in age from 5 to 20 at a private school I founded and operated for 9 years. All my students were failing in either public or private schools when they came to me. The one main thing that all my students had in common regardless of the medical designation they had was that their reading comprehension skills were extremely weak. This is a common occurance for a full one third of the population. Hence my brand name...One Third.

We did not focus on Phonics at this point as my research indicated that until someone has mastered the art of a basic reading vocabulary (alphabet, 150 words that mean nothing, sentence formation, the parts of speech, punctuation), it is impossible to progress with success to a writing vocabulary which of course includes sounds and blends, etc.

Most schools today blend the reading and writing vocabularies. That is one of the main reasons why fully one third of students today are failing in school and have difficulty in the workforce.

If schools want to allow all children the opportunity to reach their potential, it is my opinion based on solid evidence that we must change how we introduce our children to reading. If you cannot add....you cannot subtract. If you cannot add and subtract, you cannot multiply. If you cannot add, subtract and multiply, you cannot divide.

The same is true for listening, spoken, reading and written vocabularies.
