Participants will:
Have all of their questions addressed
Learn why present methods of teaching decoding does not work well for many
students.
Learn the components of a MSSL lesson plan
Learn how sounds are properly made and how to correct student errors.
Expand their knowledge of phonics (basic code, complex code, secondary code,
irregular words) so that they can teach the phonics “strand” of decoding in a
clearly organised and sequential fashion
Learn how to teach reading using sequential blending and spelling using sequential
segmenting.
Learn how to analyse text and materials to determine if it is phonetically “easy”
enough or “hard” enough for a student.
Learn how to create phonetically controlled text to maximise student learning.
Learn creative fun ways and find resources to teach the phonics strand of MSSL.

How was it for you?
What is MSSL for Reading?
Direct, systematic, scaffolded instruction
in phonological awareness, phonics,
syllabification, morphology and spelling,

Inclusive Instruction/Universal Design
So, if some students are going to have trouble
learning what sound(s) go with which letter(s),
(rote learning) how might we best go about
teaching it so that our instruction is inclusive
(i.e.sure to reach all of our students)?

Teaching That Works for Students Who
Struggle to Learn to Decode
 Must teach one piece of code after the other in a planned sequence
of instruction
 Must teach more than just the sounds for the single alphabet
letters –English phonics is complex, but 80% regular ay, oo, th etc.
(“code”)
 Must give practice reading and spelling “the code”
 Must teach “sounding out” as the primary decoding strategy
 Must provide “decodable” books that let children practice reading
with the code they have learned up to that point.
 Must provide ample ongoing review that spirals back.
 Must use multisensory, contextual teaching with extended practice
to help them remember it
