95% Group

The Phonics Lesson Library™ (PLL) is an extensive phonics program that uses a highly structured, multi-sensory approach to provide direct and systematic intervention. Students will progress from basic phonics skills such as short vowels to multiple syllable words or work on filling in any gaps along the continuum.

This intervention is used for students who are struggling with decoding words due to weak or missing phonics skills.

Heggerty

Heggerty is a phonemic awareness program. Phonemic awareness is the ability to understand that spoken words are made up of individual sounds called phonemes, and it’s one of the best early predictors for reading success. In these lessons, students practice rhyming, alliterations, segmenting words into sounds, combining sounds into words, and manipulating sounds.

Fluency Interventions

Reading fluency is efficient, effective word recognition that allows students to create meaning or comprehend text. Fluency incorporates rate, accuracy, and prosody, which is the rhythm and patterns of sound or expression. The following are Florida Center for Reading Research interventions to work on one or more of the parts of fluency: Fast Phrases, Speedy Phrases, Repeated Timed Reads and Fast Fluency Phrases. Fluency Speed Drills and Rite Flight Fluency may also be utilized.

FUNdations

FUNdations is a Wilson Reading System multisensory, structured language program for K-3 students. It uses research-based materials and strategies for a comprehensive reading, spelling, and handwriting program.

Lively Letters

Lively Letters™ is a research-based and clinically-proven, multi-sensory reading program that turns plain, abstract letters and sounds into lively characters. The forty-seven letters and letter combinations are embedded into colorful pictures with memorable character stories that show students what to do with their mouths (how to articulate) when making the letter sounds.

This intervention is used for students who are struggling to learn letters and letter sounds.

LLI - Leveled Literacy Intervention

Leveled Literacy Intervention is a short-term comprehensive comprehension intervention. It provides daily, intensive, small-group intervention to supplement classroom literacy instruction. It engages students with leveled readers and novels and connected vocabulary, and phonics in fast-paced, systematically designed lessons.

This intervention would be used for students who are struggling with comprehending text.

Orton Gillingham

The Orton Gillingham approach is a multisensory phonics technique for instructing students who are struggling to learn the code of reading. It is a highly scripted, direct, explicit, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy.

Phoneme-Grapheme Mapping

Phoneme-Grapheme mapping is a technique that uses a grid to aid students in mapping sounds to letters and letter groups. Students first segment sounds in a word and move chips to represent each phoneme (individual sound). They then write the letters (graphemes) in each box and finally, write the entire word. This process aids in improving automaticity and fluency with reading and spelling.

West Virginia Phonics & LETRS Phonics Plan
