DECODING PRACTICE 4Note: There are multiple uses for Decoding Practice 4.• Use the Sound Review rows in place of Sound Card Practice.• Use the whole page at the end of the unit for fluency buildingand/or to informally assess skills.• Have students complete the page as a partner review.• Build spelling dictation lessons from the sounds and words onthis page. SOUND REVIEW ACCURACY AND FLUENCY BUILDING TRICKY WORDS MULTISYLLABIC CHALLENGE WORDS DAILY STORY READINGSee Daily Lesson Planning for story suggestions.BUILDING FLUENCY• For students who aren’t sufficiently accurate:Set up regular practice sessions to improve accuracy on previously read Solo Stories. Havea volunteer or older student work with the student on a regular basis. If you have theRead Well Homework and Extra Practice, make copies of the Solo Stories from previousunits. As the student reads, have the tutor make a star above every word read correctlythe first time. Have the student practice any words without a star and reread the passage.On the second reading, have the tutor make another star of a different color above eachword. If a student continues to have difficulty, re-evaluate placement.• For students who are accurate but very slow:If a student reads accurately but slowly, set up a program of regular timed readings.Daily, have a volunteer time the student as he or she reads Solo Stories or Extra PracticeFluency Passages from previous units. The student should read each story two to fourtimes. The tutor can chart the highest score (i.e., number of words read correctly perminute) for each passage practiced.50
