What is sound word knowledge? Sound word knowledge is recognizing and recalling how many letters and how many sounds are in each position of a word. It helps students with dyslexia because they have the tools to help them when they omit letters/sounds in the middle of the word.
As well, when they exhibit any of the other common characteristics (mentioned under the section dyslexia). Please don’t focus on grade level for a struggling reader (at least until they are automatic and confident with mastery in the isolated sound and word levels)! All students go through these stages of literacy development: They go from individual phonemes and sound combinations (1,2,3,4), to words (3 letters, 2 letters, 4 letters, etc..) then phrases and sentences (1 word, 2 words, 3 words, etc.). Instruction on sound word knowledge should be all sounds and words in isolation, once they have mastery of each stage and level; then, you use commonly practiced levelized trade books! REVIEW HOW MANY LETTERS/HOW MANY ANYTIME YOUR ABOUT TO READ OR WRITE A WORD ALONG WITH WHICH ONE COMES: FIRST, NEXT, LAST!!! YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROCESSING EACH SOUND BEFORE YOU MOVE ON (ESPECIALLY THE MIDDLE SOUND- DO LOTS OF ASSONANCE GAMES AND LISTENING).

Montessori Sequencing & Categorization Cards-Before you begin even alphabetics, I suggest doing activities of phonological awareness, including language and listening. For language and listening, you need to develop their sound word knowledge (described above) as well as their categorization and sequencing skills. (Note: the opportunity to teach ordinal numbers: first, second (next), third (last).

During the first two stages (see above), which are the most foundationally important, sound word knowledge will give you what you need to help your student. For the first stage, make sure you present the letter individually and include as many senses as possible (never depend on just auditory). In the second stage, pay attention to word errors that’s if a child misreads a word in isolation and yes, mispronunciations (not with the utmost distinction of all the individual sounds and sound combinations in each position of the word), for the word attack using sound word knowledge-it’s counting how many letters and how many sounds and then being able to encode/decode with 90% mastery at each level (described in more detail later on): Examples of sound word levels include and should be discussed with students before they read: cat (3 letters, 3 sounds), ship (4 letters, 3 sounds) & bring (5 letters, 2 sounds). Note: The student needs to recognize and recall each sound word level with confidence and automatically! The main goal in these first two stages are that students have a strong sound word knowledge which is good for error handling and work attack which are two major strategies for literacy success in students with dyslexia.
Sound-Word Knowledge Includes Word & Sentence Diagramming
CVC words (word families)
Sight Words ccVcc (word families)
cvCcc Morphemes
CLASS #1 Also, they need sound-word knowledge!!! Sound Word Knowledge= how many letters and how many sounds. ***DOESN’T Look Or Sound Right? Then reassignment= how many letters, how many morphemes (2 bunny hops-slide)- and blend (slide finger, blend, “what do you hear”).
CLASS #2 Also, they need sound-word knowledge!!! Sound Word Knowledge= how many letters and how many sounds. ***DOESN’T Look Or Sound Right? Then reassignment= how many letters, how many morphemes (2 bunny hops-slide)- and blend (slide finger, blend, “what do you hear”).
Class #1 Description: Reading Specialist Ready To Help. Emergent/Beginning phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, and letter-sound relationship to develop their phonic accuracy, automaticity, and self-regulation. This class is also a very systematic, structured, and sequential manner. This instruction comes from my program Oh Good Golly which includes a hybrid of O-G and Montessori inspired methods.

Class #2 Description: Conquering Big Words is a small-group class (ages 11 plus) with explicit teaching on Intermediate/Advance letter-sound morphology to develop their phonic accuracy, automaticity, and self-regulation as well as vocabulary knowledge. This class is also very systematic, structured, and sequential manner. Max. 6 per class.
Why This Class: We may excel at thinking of “outside the box” solutions, seeing a problem from many different sides, and spatial relationships along with the ability to think in 3 dimensions.
