Keys to Literacy Padlet

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Denise Eide has her hand on the heartbeat of the literacy crisis and is pointing to a way out. Having grown up in a disadvantaged family and struggled with math, Denise understands the hopelessness experienced by students who struggle with illiteracy. She has a gift for connecting people to answers, providing hope, and empowering and motivating others to action.

After completing her B.A., Denise began study for her M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Minnesota. While pursuing her degree, Denise worked with non-profit organizations to develop ESL curriculum. She also taught English at a University in Russia. During this time she discovered that Eastern Europeans think systematically about language. Her students asked many questions about spelling to which her best answer at the time was, "That is an exception. English has evolved; therefore, it is not logical."

When her sons struggled to learn to read, Denise began to research how to help them. She sought training in an Orton-Gillingham approach to reading, where she discovered answers to her sons' reading difficulties, to her own questions about spelling, and to the questions posed by countless students.

In order to share her excitement, Denise put together a forty-five minute presentation called "The Logic of English." While giving this presentation, she began to touch the heart of the literacy crisis: two-thirds of U.S. students read below grade level. Wherever Denise shares, people rush forward to tell her their personal stories. Scientists, mathematicians, and engineers concur that this information would have transformed reading and spelling education for them. Teachers exclaim that everyone is talking about the problem, but that Denise is the first person bringing hope and answers. Parents and community leaders become passionate about changing their communities.

Denise strongly believes that one should not need to be diagnosed with a disability to be taught how English works. In order to empower others, she founded Pedia Learning, the company that publishes the Logic of English series of books and curriculum. Her first paperback, "Uncovering the Logic of English", has won four publishing awards and has been recognized by Dr. Temple Grandin, Dr. Reid Lyon, and Dr. Robert Sweet, Jr.

Many teachers choose to introduce each of the 6 Traits by revealing a text that exemplifies the trait. Teachers point out words, phrases, and sentences that depict the trait in action.

( Download a PDF version of Kristina's 6-Traits Picture Book Recommendations.)

Picture books are a great option. The text is short (which is important for a mini-lesson) and engaging for students-even those in middle school and high school!

Most teachers read a different book to represent each trait. But, if you are looking for a single title that demonstrates all 6 Traits, look for the * at the end of each title/author. These are texts that depict all 6 Traits in obvious ways.

For those looking for mentor text that is NOT a picture book, check out the final page of the download. It includes poems, song lyrics, text messages, and other text types that are authentic depictions of the traits in action.

Welcome to 3 letter Wordle

3 letters Wordle is a word-guessing game. The object of the game is to guess a 3-letter word in 6 tries.

In the original version, you can play only 1 wordle a day. On our site, you will be able to play as many Wordles as you want!

How to play 3 letters Wordle?

Guess the word in 6 tries.

Each guess must be a valid 3 real letter word found on the dictionary. Hit the enter button to submit.

After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word.

Examples

How to start a 3 letter Wordle game?

Think of a word with 3 letters in it.

Type it and hit Enter. You can use your keyboard (desktop) or the letters on the screen(mobile).

The game will now paint the letters in your guess with different colors: green, yellow, and gray.

With this info, you have better information about what letters should or shouldn't be in the word.

Now think of another word with the hints you received. Type it down and hit Enter.

Repeat this process until you guess the right word.

If you haven't guessed the word in 6 tries, don't worry. Although in the original version this means the game ended for you, on our site you will be able to repeat this Wordle at the end of the game.

When you find the right word, don't forget to share it on Twitter/WhatsApp or via e-mail for others to enjoy it too.

Tips for playing Wordle

Start with a word that contains as many vowels as possible and no repeating letters, such as "RADIO." More options are the words "CRANE" or "SLOTH," which mathematicians have found to include many frequently used letters.

If you are stuck and can't think of a word with the hints provided with your guesses. Just type another word that comes to your head. But if you can choose a word that has different letters from your other guesses, you will get as many new hints as possible.

If you are still stuck at the end of the game, you can share this Wordle on Twitter/WhatsApp/e-mail so your friends can help you.

The history of Wordle

Wordle was created by Josh Wardle, a programmer living in New York. He created the puzzle for himself and his partner.

After realizing that his relatives were hooked to the game, he made it public in October 2021.

Wordle gained massive popularity after Wardle added a feature where the game results can be shared on Twitter.

Wordle is similar to a 1955 word game called Jotto.

Is it possible to play today's Wordle?

Yes! On top of playing unlimited number of Wordles over our website, you can also play today's Wordle. Right below the headline of the page, you can click on the daily Wordle, and this will show you today's Wordle. You can share and compare it with your friends.

Please note that today's Wordle link also shows today's Wordle serial number which updates daily. This way, it would be easier for you to follow.

Can I play past Wordles?

Yes! Click to get a list of all Wordles that were ever made. You can choose whichever Wordle you want and play any time you like. You can also play future Wordles and get a head start before they get published elsewhere.

Are there any statistics for my games?

Yes! Each game is being recorded over your browser and will be shown at the end of each game you play. You can also access it by clicking the icon at the top right part of the page. It contains all your past Wordles statistics.

Does Wordle have a hard mode?

Yes! If you find Wordle too easy for you, you can choose hard mode by clicking the icon over the top right corner of the page and then turn on the hard mode option. This will make the game a lot more difficult.

(Partially Editable- You can add your own questions.)

Incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy language and questioning in your daily lessons with this set of Bloom's Button Question Cards. Great to use with any fictional read aloud.

Have students take a button break. Students can choose a button color randomly (I'm using real buttons), and then answer a question that corresponds to that particular level of Bloom's Taxonomy.

They can answer the question orally, with a buddy or group, or even in a journal.

There are 9 questions for each of the 6 levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. There are also blank (editable) cards provided for you to add your own questions as you see fit. There is also a black line master available of the Button Chart, if you would like to have your students color it in and then place it in a journal/notebook to refer to throughout the year.

Black and white button cards are also provided. These can be used for individual or groups of students. Students can color the buttons themselves. This would work great if you wanted to have a set for each of your groups.

There is also a form provided for student to respond to the questions.

***The UK version is available at the link below:

Step 3: Explain out loud what you read.

This step is the secret to paraphrasing. If the student didn't comprehend what the author said, then he can't put it into his own words. After reading the text, students must be able to explain the gist-without looking at the text. (If a writer cannot accomplish Step 3, have him repeat steps 1-3.)

Step 4: Write down the paraphrase.

After stating the gist out loud, then the student writes or types out the paraphrase in his own words.

While initially executing the four steps, teach students the corresponding hand signals, too. Then, eventually add the fifth step to this paraphrasing process.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Many children with literacy difficulties find it hard to blend phonemes together. Word Chains games allow a child to focus on sounds without the distraction of graphemes, as each sound is represented by a counter. A single phoneme is changed and the child 're-blends' to make a new word. The Word Chain lists progress from simple CVC words, like 'dog' and 'cat', to more complex words with initial and final blends, like 'stand' and 'crisp'. This allows targeted practice of a very specific skill in just a few minutes.

To set up the Virtual Blending Board for a lesson, use the grapheme grid provided in the lesson plan to identify the letters you'll need.

This word list generator is open-ended, so it can meet your needs in the classroom! It is a free phonics resource that can adapt to students at a variety of levels and can teach a variety of phonics skills. You can create a free, printable word list or free, printable word cards.

The phonics word list generator currently includes real and nonsense words with the following patterns: CVC, consonant digraphs, consonant blends (CCVC and CVCC), r-controlled vowels, silent e (VCe), and vowel teams. We will add more patterns over time.

To create a word list or word cards, simply select the phonics features you want to include. You can select as many or as few as you'd like. All the words on your list will contain at least one of the phonics features that you have selected.

For a more diverse word list, we'd recommend selecting all of the concepts you have taught. For example, you could select CVC words, digraph words, consonant blend words, and r-controlled vowel words to allow your students to review everything they've learned.

For a more targeted word list, we'd recommend selecting fewer concepts. For example, you could select only r-controlled vowels to create a list in which every word will contain an r-controlled vowel.

If you haven't taught all of the letters or sounds yet, don't worry! You can choose to include only certain letters. This can be a useful tool in the following situations:

You're a kindergarten teacher introducing the letters of the alphabet one a time. You can create word lists containing only the letters that you've taught. Students can learn to read CVC words that contain only sounds that they know!

You're introducing a new concept, such as digraphs or silent e words, and want to focus on a single sound at a time. You can create a word list that contains only digraph words with sh, for example. This can also be useful for extra practice with challenging sounds.

You want to create a word list with two or three easily-confused features for students to compare and contrast. For example, you could create a word list using only the short vowels e and i. Students can sort word cards by the relevant feature or practice reading a word list containing both sounds.

After creating your list, simply click on "Generate word list" or "Generate word cards" to create and download your free, printable PDF. Then, just repeat the process if you'd like to create a new list. Unlimited free word lists are at your fingertips!

What are CVC words?

CVC words are any three-letter words that follow a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. They are the easiest words to read because they contain only three letters and short vowel sounds. Examples of CVC words are: cat, hem, sit, pot, run. Examples of CVC nonsense words are: lat, rix, weg.

Our CVC words do not include soft g or soft c (for example, gem or cel). They also do not include the ending sounds am or an, since some phonics programs teach these as separate glued or welded sounds.

Some of our CVC words have more than three letters, as we classify qu as a single consonant. If you'd like to eliminate qu words from your list, simply create a list that does not include qu.

What are digraphs?

Digraphs (or "consonant digraphs") are two letters that make a single sound when put together. The digraphs we use are: wh, ch, sh, th, and ck. Wh can only go at the beginning of a word, and ck can only go at the end of a word. The other sounds can appear anywhere within the word. Examples of words with digraphs are: which, much, ship, with, pack. Examples of digraph nonsense words are: chack, pash, thex.

What are consonant blends?

Consonant blends are two consonants that go together but still make two separate sounds. These can appear at the beginning or at the end of a word. Sometimes words with consonant blends are called CCVC words or CVCC words, depending on if the consonant blend comes before or after the vowel. CCVCC words are words that have a consonant blend at the beginning and the end of the word. We prefer to use the term "consonant blends" to clearly distinguish between blends and digraphs, which both have two consonants in a row. Examples of words with consonant blends are: slip, tend, grunt. Examples of consonant blend nonsense words are: plag, gresp, posk.

What are r-controlled vowels?

When a vowel is followed by the letter r, the vowel changes its sound. The r-controlled vowels we use are: ar, er, ir, or, ur. Examples of words with r-controlled vowels are: car, fern, fir, port, curl. Examples of nonsense words with r-controlled vowels are: barp, hork, mern.

What are silent e words?

Silent e words, also known as VCe words, are words in which the vowel makes its long sound, rather than its short sound, because the word ends with an e. Examples of silent e words are: make, here, pine, robe, cube. Examples of silent e nonsense words are: gabe, bice, quebe.

Note that g, c, and sometimes s change their sound when followed by a silent e (e.g., nice, page, nose). Our VCe word lists do include words that end with -ce, -ge, and -se. If you would prefer not to include these words, perhaps if your students are in the early stages of learning to read words with VCe patterns, we recommend that you exclude the consonants c, g, and s from your search.

What are vowel teams?

Vowel teams (also known as vowel digraphs) are two vowels that work together to make one sound. Although teachers often use the phrase "When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking" when teaching vowel teams, this rule does not apply in all cases, and we recommend instead teaching each vowel team with its sound. The vowel teams that we include in our word lists are: ai, au, aw, ay, ea, ee, ew, ey, ie, oa, oi, oo, ou, ow, oy, and ue. Examples of words with vowel teams are: law, peel, boat, loot, cue. Examples of nonsense words with vowel teams are: quain, zew, hoil.

Vowel teams can be particularly difficult to learn because they can often make multiple sounds. In our word lists, ie can make two sounds (pie vs. brief), and ow can make two sounds (cow vs. crow). We did not include the less-common sounds for certain other vowel teams (e.g., the sounds in "head," "soup," or "book"), because they are relatively rare and often learned in the context of sight words. Keep in mind when reading nonsense words with vowel teams that there could be more than one correct pronunciation!

Small group practice: Create a word list using Focus Sounds that are challenging for your small group. During small group time, students can practice reading the word list for accuracy and/or fluency.

Morning work: Display a class word list of the day, or distribute differentiated lists to students depending on their individual needs. When students arrive in the morning, their first task is to read through the word list three times to develop accuracy and fluency. Add on a choral read for further practice!

Homework: Send home a word list of the week, differentiated to meet students' needs, or adapted to the skills you are working on in the classroom. Students practice reading the word list every night.

Assessments: Track mastery of sounds or phonics patterns using phonics word lists. Print a copy for you and a copy for the student. As they read, mark errors to track progress and learn what skills or sounds to focus on next. Our word lists are also useful for progress monitoring IEP goals that call for reading or spelling words with certain phonetic patterns.

Spelling lists: Align your spelling lists with the science of reading by creating spelling lists that focus on a single phonics rule or category. Practice with that phonics rule throughout the week in the classroom to help the students master the pattern.

Independent work: Students can practice marking up the word list according to the phonics program that you're using the classroom.

Ideas for using word cards in the classroom

Sorting: Create a word list that contains two to three easily-confused sounds. (For example: e/i, ch/sh, etc.) In a small group or as a center, students sort the words by sound. They can then write the words in a T-chart and practice reading them aloud.

Fluency: Use the word cards as flash cards in whole or small group to review previously-taught sounds and help develop fluency. Alternatively, give students individualized and differentiated word card sets to practice reading individually or with a partner.

Word of the Day: Introduce a new word every day that follows a phonics pattern that you are practicing. Discuss the phonics pattern as seen in the word, the meaning of the word, and any other relevant features.

Matching game: Print two copies of the same set of word cards. Students take turns flipping over two words and reading them. If they get a match, they keep both cards and take another turn!

Go Fish: Print two or four copies of the same set of word cards to create your deck of cards. Students can play Go Fish using phonics cards instead of a regular card deck. It's a perfect way to practice, because students need to read the words over and over in order to ask for the cards they need! Click here if you need a refresher on the rules of Go Fish.

Hangman: Students play a game of hangman, but the word selected comes from a word list or word card deck that matches the phonics patterns you are practicing.

Hi! My name is Miss Becca, and I'm an elementary school teacher in New York. Over the course of my teaching career, I've taught every grade from kindergarten through fifth grade. I'm certified in both special and general education, and I've taught students from both populations. I've also taught reading intervention.

I used to spend a lot of time creating my own word lists and word cards to supplement phonics programs and reading intervention programs. Learning to read is hard, and students need a lot of practice, but it was difficult to find resources targeting exactly what I needed! I created phonicswordlist.com to make my own job in the classroom easier, and hopefully to help other teachers as well!

I hope you find this resource useful! Feel free to shoot me an email at beccatheteacher (at) gmail (dot) com with any questions or feedback!
