Hey Reader, When I first started working at a dyslexia school, I was introduced to the science of reading by the trainers and other educators there. I was both fascinated by all this new knowledge that explains reading and the English language, and upset that I had not come across any of this before. (maybe you’ve been in this situation too 😞) And I decided I needed to learn more and become a better educator, no matter how much time it took. And it took years! But it was totally worth it because my students were FINALLY reading, and I can’t wait to share some of the things I learned with you during the Back to School SOR Summit in a few weeks!

Hi Reader, The long U sound can be tricky because it has two different pronunciations—/ū/ (as in music) and /ü/ (as in rule). A great way to help students hear the difference is to sort words into two categories. Write words like cube, unicorn, and use in one column, and words like blue, moon, and truth in another. Then, have students say each word out loud and listen for the two distinct sounds. This simple sort builds awareness and helps them recognize patterns in spelling! Need a visual...
Hi Reader, Teaching phonics rules can feel like a constant challenge—some students get it, while others need constant reminders.

Hi Reader, I received a few questions about why -nk was split into 2 sounds on my worksheets when -ng is not. The simple answer is that -nk is 2 sounds and -ng is 1 sound. Here is an example that helps clarify: Say the word seen. Segment it: /s/ /ē/ /n/ Now say the word sin. Segment it as /s/ /ĭ/ /n/ Now say the word sing. Segment it as /s/ /ē/ /ng/. Notice the /ng/ sound is not the same as the /n/ in seen and sin. Also notice that you don't pronounce the G in /ng/ (you don't hear the same...
