Phonics instruction belongs in a third, fourth, and fifth grade classroom!

☑️ How many times have you heard an upper elementary teacher say “ I teach fifth grade, so we don’t teach phonics”? Have you ever had the thought that you don’t need to teach phonics in your upper elementary classroom? I’ve been there! 🙋‍♀️In my first couple of years of teaching fourth grade I was of the mindset that those foundational skills were taught in a K2 setting, and my job was to build a comprehension and vocabulary off of them. Thank goodness for season coworkers, research, and training to absolutely make me see otherwise.
☑️ Why is it so important? First, how many of your kids are actually reading on grade level? When you look at the data, a portion of your students will be reading at a K-2 level, which puts them in need for explicit and focused phonics instruction.
☑️Second, there are advanced phonics skills that need to be introduced and explicitly taught in grades 3-5!
☑️ Advanced Phonics refers to the knowledge and strategies required to decode multisyllabic words, phoneme-grapheme correspondences, including three-consonant blends, digraphs, trigraphs, and silent consonants, the six syllable types and more!
☑️Advanced phonics also includes morphology and information about the meaning, pronunciation, and parts of speech of words gained from knowledge of prefixes, roots, and suffixes.

🟰 We have to make it the norm to teach phonics in upper elementary. Yes, there are reading skills that need covered, too… But those reading skills hold a lot less meaning when students cannot decode the text. We also see effects on spelling and writing (encoding) when we do not teach to close the phonics gaps or continue the progression.🖤

⬇️ How supported or prepared do you feel to teach phonics in upper elementary?

I took one of my favorite activities, and expanded it to cover so many reading comprehension tasks! Story dice are perfect to use in so many settings: whole group, small group, independent work… many possibilities! They are meaningful work + can be used with ANY text, which makes them a simple way to differentiate! 🤌😍

🎲 I added this pack that includes 10 fiction and 10 nonfiction skills, with varied questions for each to my TPT shop!!☺️
