Reading Made Simple |
Read all of this page before starting. It is important that these instructions are closely followed. Although this looks a lot, in practice it is very simple once you understand what is needed. These are general instructions for all four Levels of Reading Made Simple. General notes:
* Special needs pupils with severe difficulties may need to stay on a sound for longer, depending on how much teaching can be accomplished each week. But even so, keep moving forward as quickly as you can. Build in more review weeks if necessary. Follow the simple Lesson Plan
See here for further instructions as to how to revise flashcards. On Monday Each sound should be studied for one week. This looks a lot of information, but once you understand what is needed it will become simple.

Teacher assessment of a dictation: · Any sight words incorrectly spelt must be practiced before the next dictation. · Any words incorrectly spelled should be noted and appropriate revision made of any weak sounds. · If a child is still struggling with punctuation towards the middle of Level1, provide extra activities for practice and make it a real focus to help the child to get it correct. Some do just need much more reminding than others, even if they know how to do it. For these I offer some small incentive. You can print these instructions by clicking on the picture below.
