Description
Are you looking for a better way to teach "sight words"? Memorizing words takes 5-500 repetitions depending on the child. Orthographic mapping typically takes 1-4 repetitions.
If you are ready to make the change but not sure where to start, this resource is for you! This resource is not a curriculum or lesson plan. It is meant to serve as an informational resource that will give you the knowledge needed to switch from memorization strategies to mapping strategies.
Included:
- Explanation & Easy-To-Understand Definitions
- Step by Step Instructions
- Sample Lesson
- Elkonin Boxes Template
- Word Mapping Template
- Parent Letter
- Links to Videos & Supporting Resources
