In this session, we will cover Phonics & Fluency constructs that will be tested on the ACAP this spring.
-
- ACSS 8: Apply knowledge of phoneme-grapheme correspondences, multisyllabic word construction, and syllable division principles to decode and encode (spell) words accurately in isolation and in context.
- ACSS 12: Read high-frequency words commonly found in grade-appropriate text accurately and automatically.
Notes
Students will bring home a packet of resources that align with the focuses of the workshop session. Additionally, current BTA Tutoring clients will be able to find supplemental practice online in IXL.
What you’ll learn
- Decode multisyllabic words with common syllable patterns, including open/closed, vowel-r, vowel-consonant-e, vowel teams, consonant-le, and odd or schwa syllables.
- Apply knowledge of multisyllabic word construction and syllable division principles to decode grade-appropriate multisyllabic words.
- Decode and encode words with three-consonant blends, digraphs, trigraphs, quadrigraph eigh, combinations, diphthongs, and silent letter combinations.
- Decode and encode words with graphemes that represent multiple sound-symbol correspondences by applying knowledge of most common to least common frequency.
- Decode and encode multisyllabic words using knowledge of stress or accent to pronounce a word correctly, including the schwa sound when appropriate.
