Heard Said Spelled Read is a radical shift in the focus modality.
Here is WordsAhead's HSSR protocol.
Without looking at text,
Learning Leader pronounces the whole word: purple
Learner repeats that whole spoken word.
Learning Leader identifies individual sound-units.
[C16] [V15] • [C16] [V12+C37]
Learner echos those MAP units.
Learning Leader delivers relevant {.Sound+Spellings.}.
No skipping. No guessing.
[C16] [V15] – {.C16/p.}{.V15/ur.}
[C16] [V12+C37] – {.C16/p.}{.V12+C37/-le.}
Together pronounce those syllables.
pur • ple
Learner can independently read the printed word.
purple
Purple
PURPLE
Encode first.
Never struggle to decode by 'sounding-out' letters.
The video
Is My Kid Learning How to Read? Part 1: Purple Challenge clearly demonstrates 'scientifically-proven' but misconceived conventional wisdom. Around the world, billions of moms and teachers are sitting alongside their motivated learners – with rules, or no rules – in good faith, but employing a misguided protocol. "Look! Look! Look! What do these letters say? Letters hug each other." Etc. Etc. Etc. Focusing on letters is flawed logic. Teaching letter-sounds and 'sounding-out' are erroneous methods which waste valuable time.
When we know even better, we'll do even better. Exercise your sovereignty over the way you think. Put the book aside. Take all focus AWAY from visual input, including the text. Shift modality. No skipping, no guessing.
Listen! Listen! Listen!
Use your MAP. Provide explicit direct instruction. Model the precise articulations so your learners can first hear and say relevant words-to-be-read. Of course, your primary job is to choose only literature worth studying.
Sound by sound, it is a learner's moral and ethical entitlement to be given WordsAhead. Learners have a right to receive important {.Sound+Spellings.} from you. If not you, who?!
This is foolproof VC Logic. Stay anchored on MAP sound-units for a sound and sounds-based foundation, for lifelong learning, and for 'no anxiety' literacy.
