This set of Decoding Strategy posters will make an excellent display in your classroom for students to refer to as they are learning to decode more complex words.
Display in the classroom or use during guided reading to refer to the specific strategy your students are working on.
Read decodable and authentic texts using developing phonic knowledge, phrasing and fluency, and monitoring meaning using context and grammatical knowledge
Use short vowels, common long vowels, consonant blends and digraphs to write words, and blend these to read one- and two-syllable words
Understand that a letter can represent more than one sound and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound
Read decodable and predictable texts using developing phrasing, fluency, contextual, semantic, grammatical and phonic knowledge and emerging text processing strategies, for example prediction, monitoring meaning and re-reading
Use short vowels, common long vowels, consonant digraphs and consonant blends when writing, and blend these to read single syllable words
Understand that a letter can represent more than one sound and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound
Draws on an increasing range of skills and strategies to fluently read, view and comprehend a range of texts on less familiar topics in different media and technologies
Understands and effectively uses Tier 1, taught Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary to extend and elaborate ideas
Uses initial and extended phonics, including vowel digraphs, trigraphs to decode and encode words when reading and creating texts
Sustains reading unseen texts with automaticity and prosody and self-corrects errors
Comprehends independently read texts that require sustained reading by activating background and word knowledge, connecting and understanding sentences and whole text, and monitoring for meaning
Applies phonological, orthographic and morphological generalisations and strategies when spelling words in a range of writing contexts
Read texts with familiar features and structures using developing phrasing, fluency, phonic, semantic, contextual, and grammatical knowledge and emerging text processing strategies, including prediction, monitoring meaning and rereading
Recognise short vowels, common long vowels and consonant digraphs, and consonant blends
Understand that a letter can represent more than one sound, and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound
