The class being taught is a first grade class with 17 students, seven boys and ten girls. Some students have ADHD. The teacher aims to teach the students the months of the year in order and their associated seasons and holidays with 100% accuracy over two weeks. Several methods will be used including singing songs daily, displaying pictures and posters, and a WebQuest activity. Games will also be used like having students line up in birth month order and grouping at stations to discuss month characteristics. The teacher will evaluate student progress daily and modify lessons as needed to achieve the goal of 100% accuracy.
The class being taught is made up of 17 first grade students, with seven boys and ten girls. Some students have ADHD. The objectives are for students to recite the months of the year in order and understand the seasons and holidays associated with each month through songs, pictures, and games. Three methods will be used: singing songs daily, displaying pictures of each month, and playing a birth month game. The goal of 100% accuracy will be achieved through games like lining up by birth month and grouping at stations to describe month characteristics. Students will participate in games and song singing. Their progress will be monitored and modifications made if needed to maintain the 100% accuracy goal.
The document provides a lesson plan for teaching vocabulary about toys to first and second grade students. The plan aims to strengthen students' vocabulary about toys like ball, car, doll, teddy bear, block, and kite. Activities include matching toy images to words, coloring toys different colors and counting how many of each, a dictation activity to color toy halves, and a bingo game to practice numbers 1-10. As homework, students will draw their favorite toy.
This unit focuses on developing essential musical skills like singing, listening, aural memory, and physical skills. It contains 8 lesson plans that can be taught in short periods to work on these skills. Lesson plans include activities like exploring different voices, recognizing musical phrases, singing with hand gestures, controlling pitch and rhythm, higher and lower pitches, expressive elements, identifying sounds and memory, and responding physically to music. It also includes additional classroom resources like flashcards, interactive games, and suggested songs to teach musical concepts in a fun way for young students.
The document outlines a series of lessons that use music to help students learn vocabulary. It discusses how music can make vocabulary more memorable and impactful. The lessons have students analyze song lyrics to understand word meanings, create their own songs that incorporate target vocabulary, and present their songs to the class. Assessments include a vocabulary test and measuring any impact on reading fluency.
This document outlines an ASSURE method lesson plan to teach months of the year to a diverse 1st grade class, including some students with ADHD. The plan incorporates various methods like a song video, calendar game, storybooks, posters, real objects, and interactive Voki characters to engage different learning styles. Students will participate by singing, playing games, presenting posters, and creating/identifying Vokis. Their learning will be evaluated through game play, questioning, poster assessment, and reciting the months in order. The objective is for all students to accurately list the months of the year by the end of the week.
This document provides instruction for students on blending and reading words using "green level" and "purple level" sound pictures. It includes:
1) A chart showing the green and purple level sound pictures and accompanying phrases to teach letter formation.
2) Exercises for students to blend sound pictures into words, write the words, and match words to pictures.
3) A recommendation to visit a YouTube channel for Jolly Phonics songs teaching the various representations of sounds.

Choice of readers and decoding strategies are crucial for students learning to read. Students should sound out words they are unsure of by starting from the left and blending the individual speech sounds together into whole words. Underlining sound-letter correspondences reinforces links between sounds and letters, helping with both reading and spelling. Teachers should set up four reading stations at different levels so that each student can work at their own ability.
This short document appears to be random letters with no discernible meaning or story. It does not provide enough context or information to generate a multi-sentence summary.

This document provides a list of phonics activities and words for teaching different speech sounds to children. The activities include "Speech Sound Harry" which focuses on words using a child's speech sound, and "Speech Sound Detective" which includes scaffolded words so children can decode them. It then lists examples of words for different speech sounds including m, d, e, g, o, c, k, u, r, h, b, f, and l. The purpose is to help children learn early reading skills through phonics instruction and decoding practice.
A lack of reading limits one’s quality of life (Bradford, Shippen, Alberto, Houschins, & Flores, 2006) and yet only 1 in 5 students with intellectual disabilities reaches minimal literacy levels (Katims, 2001). Slow development of reading skills may affect more than just one academic subject but may also delay language acquisition, general knowledge, vocabulary, and even social acceptance.
However, “Literacy and reading instruction for students with significant intellectual disabilities is in its infancy….there is a dearth of information regarding complete instructional programs that might help these children learn to read and write” (Erickson et al., 2009, p. 132).
This document provides information about sorting decodable readers according to the Synthetic Phonics Spelling program (SSP). It recommends free readers from SPELD SA and Oxford Owl that have been sorted into SSP levels. It also lists the order of letters and sounds taught in the SSP program and notes that one decodable reader only contains words using the letters s, a, t, i, m, n, o, p. Instructions are given to look at the SSP teaching order to determine which code level box a reader belongs in, with examples provided.

This document provides guidance for implementing the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) reading program in schools. It outlines resources needed for each classroom, including printed materials, apps, and displays. It describes the three phases of SSP: Phase 1 focuses on phonemic awareness without letters; Phase 2 teaches the four code levels to develop reading, writing, and spelling; Phase 3 supports independent literacy. Key aspects of SSP are explicitly teaching the speech sounds and their connections to graphemes using visual prompts and a left-to-right approach.
- The Speech Sound Pics (SSP) literacy program is emerging and promising but lacks published research evidence. However, many successful literacy programs developed by teachers also lack published research initially.
- There is disagreement between advocates of SSP and those who believe only programs with published research should be used in schools. Published research is unrealistic as an initial requirement for education programs.
- Teachers are looking for evidence like student achievement data and testimonials from schools that have successfully used programs like SSP. Published research is only one useful piece of information and should not be the sole criteria for determining an education program's effectiveness.
The document discusses a speech therapist who tried to undermine the professional judgement of a teaching team using the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach, which focuses on developing oral language and phonemic awareness. The author, who created SSP, has extensive qualifications in special education needs and dyslexia. However, some dyslexia awareness groups have been trying to discourage its use for months by distributing fliers. The author asks them to stop interfering and leave the teachers and parents who see results from SSP alone.
According to Reid Lyon and James Wendorf, ninety-five percent of the children that are struggling with reading are instructional casualties. That means THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CHILD, THE ISSUE IS HOW THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT.
"It’s a consequence of an unnatural, overwhelming ambiguity forced upon the child while nobody is giving them a stairway through it before they shame-out to the process. The shame itself then impedes their cognitive ability to process it, as well as diminishes their self-esteem in general with all of its transferred effects.
So we have this massive problem that when we cut it down has to do with the social-educational paradigm-inertia."

The document is a list of words and concepts related to the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach. It includes days of the week, months, colors, shapes, animals, and other common nouns. The approach involves using pictures to represent speech sounds and teach literacy.
Recent research shows that retaining students is generally not the best option and does more harm than good. While a temporary boost in performance may occur, benefits do not tend to last and retained students are 60% less likely to graduate high school. Instead of retention, schools should focus on implementing new interventions, teaching strategies, and learning supports tailored to students' needs. As a parent, it's important to be involved in discussions with the school about retention or alternative options that may help a struggling child succeed.

1) The document discusses concerns with using PM Benchmark assessments for students who have not completed the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) program, as PM Benchmark relies on whole language approaches removed from UK schools.
2) It provides suggestions for alternative assessments that test phonics skills more appropriately for different reading levels, such as the Motif, Castles and Coltheart, and TERC tests.
3) The author advocates using SSP to teach reading as an alternative to whole language approaches like PM Benchmark, which can demoralize students if used before phonics mastery.
The document discusses the SSP approach to teaching reading using a "skills acquisition process" to develop reading brains. It argues that SSP wiring reading and spelling brains simultaneously through a systematic progression of sound-picture mapping. In contrast, traditional "whole language" and PM readers ask children to guess words they cannot decode, slowing learning. SSP progresses through four color-coded levels of increasing complexity. Home readers should reinforce the sound-pictures being learned, using only decodable texts matching the child's current level. The goal is for children to authentically read texts they can fully decode by blending learned sound-pictures.

Code Mapped Songs - The Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach.
Let It Go (Frozen)
Let It Go (Frozen) - Song, Code Mapped, Coming very soon !! youtube.com/soundpics
If the kids know the words (my next door neighbour's 3 year old knows them very well) then USE this to help their brains link the speech sounds to sound pics. They can 'hear' the words in order along with the music, in their minds, so get mapping ! Play Speech Sound Pic Detective. Follow the words along with the music, and stop at one. Ask what the next word is, and then use Duck Hands, Lines and Numbers, and map the lines with the sound pics. They are already coded so doesn't matter what code level they are at, they will figure it out.
Kids LOVE doing this.

This document discusses the importance of phonemic awareness in learning to read and spells. It notes that without adequate phonemic awareness, readers must rely on guessing and visual memory rather than understanding sounds in words. Approximately 10-33% of people have difficulty with phonemic awareness, which can limit their ability to decode words and benefit from phonics instruction. The document stresses that phonemic awareness is the best predictor of early reading success more than other factors like IQ. It questions why Australia continues to use instructional approaches that have been shown to limit literacy development and notes alarming rates of functional illiteracy in the country.
