Orthographic Mapping - Explained!
zhlédnutí 21KPřed rokem
If you've read anything about the science of reading, you've probably come across orthographic mapping. But what is it? Why should we care? And what are a lot of people getting wrong? Oops! When showing the pronunciation of CAT, I should have put /k/ /a/ /t/, not /c/ /a/ /t/. In the interests of time, I'm not going to redo the video. But we typically represent the sound of the hard c with /k/. ...
Where to find the best decodable books for beginning readers
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 3 lety
For years I was sure that all decodable books were boring, stilted, and nonsensical. But when I became convinced that my previous approach to teaching reading (using leveled books and three-cueing) was flawed, I took another look. I spent months finding the best of the best decodable book. Here they are! Order my book, Reach All Readers! themeasuredmom.lpages.co/reach-all-readers/ Join our affo...
How to teach high frequency words with hands-on lessons
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 3 lety
Did you know that kids don't need to memorize long lists of sight words? We can help them remember high frequency words in a more productive way by drawing attention to the sound-spelling patterns through a multi-sensory approach.

Reading phonics passages

I'm teaching my youngest preschooler to read using a phonics-first approach. This is a shift from my previous method of teaching beginning readers using primarily picture and context clues. This method feels slower than what I previously used ... and it is, at first! But it's building a solid foundation. Get the free printable passages on my website.

My daughter has a weakness in this area, resulting in a 5th percentile reading speed despite strong decoding and phonemic awareness. It’s so confusing and hard to know what would help her…and if we can help her.
If you send me an email I'd love to work through it with you! You can reach me at hello(at)themeasuredmom(dot)com.
Very high pitched static noise at the beginning.. :(
What's weird is that only certain people can hear this. I can't - and so I don't know how to fix it! :(
@@annageiger-themeasuredmom haha, i've heard different ages have different sound frequencies that they can hear! maybe that's why. no worries though - great video!
The high frequency word worksheets in your shop look different to the one in this video. Are some words in this bundle taught like this one?
We've revised the lessons/books a bit, but yes they are very much like this. You can get free samples here: www.themeasuredmom.com/free-sight-word-books-2/
Thank you so much❤
Great video!
A very usefel and fruitful video, thanks a lot.
Where can i get them plz
Which book by Dr. Kilpatrick are you referring to at the start of this video?
It's "Equipped for Reading Success."
THe best teacher ever! Thanks a lot.I am from Brazil .
You're amazing- the way you explained it is also amazing. It really help me and it enlightened me. I'm a private teacher in the Philippines and I used your free materials in my students and guess what they loved it. It makes me sad that I really want to purchase your resources but I can't afford it because my salary is not that big and it is below minimum wage. I hope i can purchase one of your curriculum. Thank you so much for the freebies ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
You are very kind, thank you! I hope you can continue to enjoy my freebies!
I really love this. This game is so amazing i will try this one. Thankyou so much for the freebies❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
I am thoroughly AMAZED at how many years it took for people to come up with the term ORTHOGRAPHIC MAPPING and PHONEME GRAPHEME MAPPING!!! It is so, so very refreshing to experience the science of reading and have it explained! I used to CRINGE whenever I saw the word shape technique! I knew innately that we do not memorize words by their shape! We don’t have a logographic language!! We have a phonetic language, based on sound to letter association and letter patterns of the way words are spelled! Also, the “look at the picture” technique never rested well with me, because the student was not actually LOOKING at spelling patterns and mapping it in their brain with letter-sound-meaning associations. It was guessing by looking at a drawing! What would they do about chapter books later on? Anyway, since reading came naturally to me as a youngster and I knew I had automatically memorized many spelling patterns, onsets and rimes, etc., the “new” techniques, such as memorizing how words LOOKED just boggled my mind!! What about a word they’ve never seen before? How would they find out what it says on their own?? I just instinctively knew that children do not learn to read by these inferior techniques! Thank you for this very refreshing explanation of what REALLY happens when we learn to read!
Hi Deborah! I think "orthographic mapping" has been around for a while, but it's only recently been something the everyday teacher knows about. Good for you for seeing through all the whole language and balanced literacy misunderstandings!
Thank you ❤
😮😮 My mind blows 🤯🤯🤯 but thanks for the explanation. Im slowly understanding it. Hoping for more videos of yours ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so amazing and I appreciate the knowledge you share. Please make new videos!! Please and thanks
After I finish the book I'm writing, I hope to make many more videos!
This is why learning onset and rime patterns, the different types of syllables, and irregular words is so important together with phoneme-grapheme correspondence. Add the morphology to it!👍🏼
Yes, learning those chunks is important too!
How can I get this book
Thanks so much for this comprehensive explanation of orthographic mapping! NOW I understand!!! Thanks for all your resources as well!! I love them all!!
Thank you so much, Carolyn! It took me a while to get it!
Were the words "rhino", "fish" and "snake" taught beforehand? I mean because of the silent h in rhino (long i as well), /sh/ in fish and long a in snake. Since is was being introduced I thought it this decodable book would be with no more than cvc words and no digraphs or long vowel sounds. I only want to learn and understand. Thanks in advance for your kind reply! 🙏
No they weren't. I considered them story words. But in my newer version of this book I included more decodable words. It's just too late to make another video because my son is a proficient reader now!
Do you have any book recommendations that teach all these confusing terms? Thank yiu
I'm actually writing one, but it's not coming out until August 2024. :) I don't know of an all in one book that explains everything easily except for the Teaching Reading Sourcebook, which is quite expensive but pretty incredible!
Aww he has such a sweet voice! ☺️ I can't wait to introduce my kindergartners to this next year! Thank you!
He's 7 years old now, but still has that raspy voice! 💗
Nice to witness the MOM part of Measured Mom!
Loved this! You keep everything short and to the point! High Quality! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Jeannette - that means a lot!
Helpful. thank you
It is amazing
Your videos are really helpful, thankyou 🙂
Excellent video - very clear and concise! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Liz!
Awesome video 👌
Thank you, Trivia!
An excellent video explaining differences between phonics, phonemes and phonological awareness. A must view for educators and families to help their beginner readers. Thank you to Anna-The Measured Mom 😊
Thank you so much for that kind feedback, Dawn!
You are AMAZING - clear, easy information that parents can also understand. Thank you for what you do to improve learning for kids and teachers.
Thank you, that's so kind of you, Bev!
You explained this perfectly! #MTEL
Thanks so much, Erin!
This is great! Thanks for the free book, too. P.S. Your kid is adorable and obviously having fun doing this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Vickie!
I remember when Dick and Jane books were frowned upon... I do appreciate your content
I would say that those are still frowned on by those who understand the science of reading. All those that I have seen are focused on teaching words as wholes (the look/say method) rather than teaching phonics patterns.
Anna, I am so excited about your CZcams channel. I love how you present content to teachers clearly and in small bites - we don't have time for 30 minute videos! I always have such great takeaways from what you share.
Thank you so much, Dani! Your opinions and feedback mean a lot to me.
THANK YOU for clearing up the phoneme/grapheme mapping or word mapping vs. orthographic mapping issue. I heard a guest on your podcast keep using it the wrong way and thought...oh, Anna's going to need to clear that up somehow. =) Here it is! Sharing this video with my building and district coach so that they might share it out to our staff! Thank you!
Lol, it's definitely an easy thing to mix up! I try to be as clear as possible, esp. for people who are new. There's so much to keep straight that we don't need to add extra confusions!
"Sight words are words that can't be sounded out" I can't tell you how many times I have heard that! The science of reading makes so much sense. Thank you for spreading the word. I am currently taking LETRS training and I already know much of the material thanks to your blogs and podcasts.
I know what you mean, Debra! When I started studying the research suddenly everything fell into place.
Well done! So nice to have a place to send new teachers to learn some basics. You keep doing more-wow!
Thank you so much, Mary Ann!
Excellent !
Thank you, Anil!
I am thrilled to find you on You Tube.
Thanks for watching, Barbara!
Hi Anna, I first found your website a year ago. Then I started to listen to your podcasts a few months ago. Today I found out your on CZcams!!! This to me is so helpful because I am a visual leaner who is struggling how to go about helping our grandson learn to read. Our little guy is almost 7, and may be dyslexia, so he’s struggling as well. Just one bit of advice? 😊 Please slow down a little. I adjusted the speed of your video to a lower setting and it helped me to follow along better. What your doing is helping me understand what his teachers and tutor are talking about 🙃Your passion shines through in all your hard work. Thank you so much 💓
Thanks for your encouragement, Beverley! To be honest, this was me talking slow. I've been told I talk too fast my whole life. I will try to slow down though!
I'm so happy you are on CZcams now
Thank you!
What a wonderful video, thank you Anna! Your explanation of the key concepts is clear and succinct. Looking forward to your future CZcams contributions! 🙏😊
Thank you so much for the kind feedback!
Such a great explanation, Anna!
Thank you, Katie!
Awesome video. Quality content and video isn't too long 😅.
Thank you!
This video was awesome. It was straight to the point, easy to follow, and teacher-friendly. I love your resources. I have purchased your decodable books and can't wait to use them with my students! Thanks!
Thank you so much, Natasha!
Excellent presentation Anna. I have been following your website for over 8 years now. Your resources are the best. The decodable books will be great for me to use as reading intervention teacher at my school. I like that they are free. Great for teachers on a budget. Oh by the way I am from Trinidad and Tobago
Thank you so much for your feedback, Janelle - all the way from Trinidad and Tobago!
I wanted to tell you, I’ve been on your site today getting things to print off for my kids. I’m so overwhelmed and fearing I’m falling behind for them. First year homeschooling due to Covid. I have 7th, 4th, and 3rd grader. They’re not as good at reading as math but I’m sure my younger 2 can learn off of what you’ve worked so hard to put together. I don’t have much money so I really appreciate the free stuff. My kids shouldn’t suffer or miss out because of my finances but I had to keep them home due to my middle child’s health issues. Thank you and God Bless you with an abundance of His presence & atonement! ❤️❤️❤️
