Make Decoding Automatic!

A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

by Phyllis E. Fischer, Ph.D.

I. Introduction

A. What is reading fluency and why is it important?

B. How does decoding automaticity relate to reading fluency?

II. Decoding automaticity and the brain

A. How the brain’s reading processors decode words

B. How the brain recognizes sight words

III. How the Decoding Automaticity package of Concept Phonics™
develops orthographic and phonological automaticity

A. Individual phonemes and graphemes

1. Research on teaching multiple sounds for a grapheme simultaneously, rather than successively

2. Vowel sounds — the contrast cards

3. Consonant sounds — discussion and contrast cards (RAN task)

4. Developing orthographic and phonological automaticity on
consonant clusters (digraphs, silent letter clusters, blends)

B. The closed, magic-e, and open syllable structures

1. Orthographic automaticity

2. Phonological automaticity

3. Whole word automaticity for all syllable structures

C. The vowel-R and vowel-team clusters & syllables

1. Orthographic automaticity

2. Phonological automaticity

D. Consonant-l-e words

1. Orthographic automaticity

2. Phonological automaticity

E. Spelling pattern fluency (as time permits)

In this full-day workshop, Dr. Fischer shows you how to use her materials and techniques to develop decoding automaticity in beginning or struggling readers.

These materials are a flexible, efficient, research-based resource to supplement any phonics program. This makes them particularly useful for RTI and Tiered Instruction. Her remarkably effective, timesaving techniques come from more than 30 years of research, teaching, and clinical practice.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to learn first-hand from a successful pioneer in decoding automaticity!
