GUIDING DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION:
WORD RECOGNITION AND FLUENCY
MOMENTUM |MŌˈMENTƏM; MƏ1 Physics, the quantity of motion of a
moving body, measured as a product
of its mass and velocity.
2 the impetus gained by a moving
object : the vehicle gained momentum
as the road dipped.
3. the impetus and driving force
gained by the development of a
process or course of events: the
investigation gathered momentum in
the spring.
[ORIGIN late 17th cent.: from Latin,
from movimentum, from movere ‘to
move.’]
Voyager required a great amount of energy to launch, but it
will now continue forever, propelled by its own momentum!

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
If oral reading fluency is weak
And nonsense word fluency is
weak
Use an informal diagnostic
assessment – a phonics inventory
If ORF is green … this is the wrong group
If ORF is red or yellow, check NWF.
If NWF is green … this is the wrong group.
If NWF is red or yellow, give phonics inventory.

Once you have identified a focus for your phonics
instruction, the trick is choosing enough words
for a sequence of lessons.
We will show you how we’ve planned for each
group.

CHOOSING HIGH-FREQUENCY WORDS
After children are grouped because of their needs
in decoding, use an inventory to identify HF words
each child needs to learn
 List the words unknown by any child and plug
them into your lesson plan; for all children, that
will mean some words are known and some are
new
 Don’t worry about trying to find a decodable text
that matches the HF words; they are called HF
because they are!

CHOOSING DECODABLE TEXTS




Remember that our target is generalized decoding skills;
you needn’t match the texts directly to the words that
have been taught
Choose decodables that reinforce this principle: when
you see a word you don’t know, you can usually sound
and blend it
Almost all texts have words that the students don’t know
and can’t decode; you can simply teach them just before
the reading starts
If you don’t have enough decodables, recycle them in
later lessons rather than using them several days in a
row – we don’t want the children to memorize them

WHICH BOOKS ARE INFLUENCING US?
Remember that these are already in
your professional library!
TEACHER MODELING
Sounding and Blending
When you come to a word that you don’t know,
you can sound and blend. The way that you do
that is you look at each letter, make each
sound, and then say them fast to make a word.
I’ll show you how to sound and blend today’s
words, and then you try.
COMPARE-AND-CONTRAST PHONICS
Vowel-Consonant-E
We are going to work with vowel sounds. First,
listen for those sounds. I will say a word, and I
want you to point to a picture of a word with
the same sound.
When you see a final e, the vowel says its
name. I am going to say a word. Find it on
your list, and when I say go, spell it out loud.
ANALOGY-BASED PHONICS
Decoding by Analogy
We are going to work with other long vowel patterns. The way
we’ll do it is, we’ll learn a set of clue words, and we’ll use
those words to read other words.
Your clue words today are rain, May, and eight. They all use
patterns to spell the long A. In the word rain, the letters AI
represent the long A. In the word May, the letters AY represent
the long A. In the word eight, the letters EIGH represent the
long A. We are learning three different ways that the long A is
spelled. I am going to show you a new word. I want you to
point to our clue word with the same pattern and then say
“I know_______. This must be ______.”
FULLY ANALYZING WORDS
High Frequency Words
I am going to teach you some words that you see all
the time. The first word is said. What word? Watch me
count the sounds in said. S-e-d. There are three
sounds. Now watch me write the letters: s-a-i-d. There
are four letters. Let me show you how this word works.
The first sound we hear is /s/, and it is spelled s. The
next sound we hear is /e/, and it is spelled with a and i
working together. The last sound we hear is /d/ and it
is spelled with d.
EVERY PUPIL RESPONSE TECHNIQUES
Choral Response
Teacher models the sounding and blending
process for a word, then says “your turn” and
students sound and blend that same word. This
allows us to use more difficult words because we
are ensuring success from the start.
EVERY PUPIL RESPONSE TECHNIQUES
Constant Time Delay
Children read a word first in their head, and then,
with a cue from the teacher, read it aloud
chorally. This procedure ensures that all children
will attempt to respond on their own, without
being influenced by children who might respond
more quickly without the cue.
