1Welcome to Readers in Rhyme Language Arts program Level 3. This program is designed to ensure that learning phonics is enjoyable and easy for both teacher and student. At CSS our goal is to create beautiful, rich curriculum that is comprehensive but never overwhelming. Key Features: Scripted Lessons: Our Language Arts curriculum features step-by-step scripted lessons. Each lesson provides clear instructions, guiding you through the material easily. Open-and-Go Format: Easy prep and lesson planning. Multi-Sensory Approach: Listen, see and do. Engaging more than one sense at a time helps students process and retain what they are learning. Saying the phonogram sounds while tracing or writing, building words with magnetic letters or tiles, dictation etc. are just a few examples of this. While this approach is great for all students, it is especially helpful for children that struggle with learning to read. Color-coded phonograms aid with teaching and learning phonics: By using different colors to represent specific phonetic patterns or sounds, students can easily identify and recognize the patterns in words. This visual aid improves decoding skills, and assists in spelling. Red phonograms indicate the letter or letter group makes a vowel sound. Blue phonograms indicate the letter or letter group make a consonant sound. IntroductionPhonological and Phonemic Awareness Exercises: Help with developing crucial pre-reading and pre-writing skills. These exercises focus on recognizing and manipulating sounds in spoken language. These exercises are essential for early literacy development as they lay the foundation for reading and writing. Students learn to distinguish between different sounds, blend sounds together to form words, segment words into individual sounds, and manipulate sounds to create new words. These auditory based skills are a vital foundation for phonics instruction. Reading Warm Up: Have your students point to each phonogram and say the sounds. Reading Warm Up: Have your students point to each phonogram and say the sounds.

2Medial Sounds Say to the student: I’m going to say three words. Two of them will have the same MIDDLE sound. One of them will have a different middle sound. I want you to tell me which one is not like the others. Here is an example: beg, hit, met Beg and met both have the /e/ in the middle. Hit has an /i/ in the middle. Hit is not like the others. (It may be necessary to sound out the words slowly annunciating the vowel sound.)-Auditory Exercise-•hot, hat, mop •nap, slam, box •dig, top, dog •rod, sat, sock •bad, cup, map •mom, log, pinMastery Based Program: Our curriculum follows a carefully designed sequence, covering all essential phonics skills progressively. Each lesson builds upon the previous lesson and includes plenty of review. At Classical School Solutions, we strive to offer the best from the past in art and story. Our Readers In Rhyme feature beautiful vintage illustrations carefully restored alongside newly written stories. We hope the timeless themes of virtue in every day life inspire and delight your student. We are here to support you in any way we can. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at info@classicalschoolsolutions.com. Or visit our website classicalschoolsolutions.com Happy reading!

31. Orient yourself to the flow of the pages and sequence of the activities. •Each lesson’s material is meant to be covered in one week. Each lesson is broken down into four days of teaching material in lessons A, B, C, and D. Day five of the school week is for review. Each daily lesson has activities that include phonics review and handwriting. •The nursery rhyme should be read to the children daily and they can work on memorizing each nursery rhyme. •Phonics exercises can be done in various ways and ideas for activities can be found in teachers notes at the beginning of each lesson. 2. The teacher’s guide is scripted for your conversation with the students. • The phonics lesson in total should only last 20 minutes. Follow up work with letter tiles, chalkboard, whiteboard, etc will reinforce the concepts taught. 3. Initially, work slowly to orient the children to the material. • The goal of this program is to give children a solid phonics foundation. It is much easier to work steadily on mastery than it is to remediate skills later on that were not learned in these early years. Some students will catch on quickly and may need an option for independent work. 4. Incorporating Movement • Try to incorporate movement when possible. Have students clap out the syllables in words. Have them stand up to practice recitation of the poem they are memorizing. When the students practice handwriting have them say the sound(s) the phonogram makes while writing. 5. Repetition is Key • Do try to keep the same routine with the material. For those that are struggling this is very comforting. Practice makes progress!How To Use This Guide

Lesson 9A©2023 Classical School Solutions179Read to the student: You have learned almost all of the seventy-two phonograms. The last three phonograms you will learn are found in longer words with multiple syllables. So let’s talk a bit about what syllables are. A syllable is a letter or combination of letters that are uttered together or in one effort. Syllables are the pieces or chucks of the word. Syllables contain a vowel and the consonants that are spoken with it. You can think of syllables as the drum beats of words. Let’s practice finding the syllables in words. Here’s a helpful Video To WatchSegmenting Syllables Say to the student: Many words have more than one syllable in the word. I’m going to say a word with more than one syllable. I want you to separate the syllables.
