  • Phonics & Decoding (Reading Rockets)
    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLxDwKxHx1yLfQFq0LsnzlK2JrrQRBfL9
    This is a series of 23 videos that explain phonics and decoding. Phonics is the understanding that there is a predictable relationship between the sounds of spoken language, and the letters and spellings that represent those sounds in written language. Successful decoding occurs when a student uses his or her knowledge of letter-sound relationships to accurately read a word. This section provides information about how to teach children to sound out words, and what to do if a child is having difficulty linking letters and sounds.
