How to Teach R-Controlled Syllables

If your learners can read words like bird, her, and fork, they may be ready to learn how to apply that knowledge to read longer words like yogurt, hermit, and burger.

Unfortunately, it’s not that always simple for our struggling readers. It’s important that we teach R-Controlled syllables in an explicit way, breaking down the process of decoding so all our readers can be successful. That’s what you’ll find in this video, How to Teach R-Controlled Syllables. I encourage you to…

1. Watch the Video to Learn:

• How to make your instruction build off what learners already know

*The steps share in this video come from the things I learned while getting my grad certificate in Dyslexia and LBLD and two curricula based on Orton-Gillingham- Wilson Reading and All About Reading.
