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

This is a good resource, but very basic for the price. I was really hoping that the phonics skills were included. This was something. that I already knew how to do and do with my students.

Yes, this is an informational resource only and everything included is listed in the description. If you are already familiar with Orthographic Mapping, this is not the resource for you.
