Teaching Tip: Learning with Kyliee
Posted onI am noticing that we have many Emergent readers spending a long time reading at Levels A and B. If we want to accelerate learning, we need to move students quickly out of the highly patterned text and into Level C. At Level C, there are many more opportunities to learn literacy processing strategies.
The Level A and B text is designed to support students learning these early reading behaviors:
- One-to-one matching
- Cross-checking the first letter with the meaning (the item in the picture)
- Directional behavior (left to right and return sweep)
- Learning and using a few simple sight words
- Using language patterns to gain some fluency
