Does anyone knows what Hooked on Phonics is and how does it work?

It's some sort of learning game that involves grammar and other English skills. Children are often found addicted to Phonics.

Here are some sites for you to look over:\n\nhttp://www.laureatelearning.com/parents/LLSinfo/newspar/tariqnews.html\n\nhttp://www.linguisystems.com/itemdetail.php?id=483\n\nhttp://autismcoach.com/Software%20Overview.htm\n\nhttp://do2learn.com/aboutus/research/languagegames.htm\n\n\nAs far as getting him to talk to express himself. Always give him two choices. Say the words for each one. Give him the thing he says first.\n\nFor example, if he likes grapes and apples, at lunch time have some grapes, and an apple ready.  Show him both, and say the name for each. Whichever word he says first, give that fruit to him. If he changes his mind, don't give him the other one until he says the name. Pointing to each, say the names until he says what he wants. Him pointing, screaming, or trying to hijack the fruit are not what will get him what he wants... only saying the word. \n\nTry to do this with as many activities as you can... always two choices of things he likes, and he has to say the name of what he wants to get it.\n\nThat's the first step, anyway.

Problems with literacy affect all areas of the curriculum because we communicate across time and space through written language. Therefore, any information and skills that cannot be taught face-to-face, are given in writing. A child's initial public education provides practice in gaining these information and skills from print, so that as adults we can use written communication effectively. From instructions that come with our electronics, toys, and other daily tools, to work directives in manuals, to research bringing new knowledge to different fields, to laws, everything is communicated through the written word.\n\nSo... if you really are a teacher, you should have access to a special education teacher or two in your school or district who specializes in helping peolpe with print learning difficulties. Most will tell you that a heavy emphasis on phonics (e.g. Orton-Gillingham), vocabulary-building, sight-word recognition, memory building, and listening comprehension will build overall reading comprehension.

I taught 5th grade a few yrs ago. I liked using their literature stories and have the students pick a character and write the story from a different perspective. You can also allow them to write about their hobby,how would someone describe you if they came into your room and didn't know you?What will you be involved in in high school? What is your goal for 30 yrs of age? Write about fav sportsman. Who is their hero? What is a hero? Feelings about America? I once did a story on a bag of marshmallows and they wrote from the marshmallows veiw. It was a good topic. You can use everyday objects and lay one on each desk. Recently I had my grandkids write a story about 3 items that I picked for them. The items had nothing in common but they wrote great stories. They also made a story plan by filling out a form with the characters,problem,2 paragraphs about how to solve the problem,how it was solved, and wraping up in the last paragragh. The next time I let them pick the items but it took them forever to get them. I think they were trying to think up a story while looking for the items. I was actually working with one grandson who was behind in reading due to ADHD( Delux!). He learned some from the new ideas I found for him and it was nice that the others of about the same age wrote with him.PBS.com is where I got some of my ideas(games,worksheets,books) to help him this summer so he got caught up. "Mrs.McGowen Lots About Reading" in the PBS site is a great source and has many ideas on all subjects. Best wishes! I miss teaching but have my hands full with grandkids!

Maybe I can help, I am a senior majoring in Education.\n\nOftentimes when children are in the primary grades, children are taught to read and write using "Word Families".  So one week a child would learn words like bat, hat, mat, pat, that (all -at words), then another week they learn words like dot, blot, cot, splot.  She is probably doing this to reinforce the -ot ending family.  Does this help?

Is your school not offering tutoring? I don't know that there is free tutoring out there unless you could apply for some kind of grant. There are lots of good phonics based computer programs. I like Reader Rabbit and Jump Start. You can even check them out from your local library. Encourage reading in your house as much as possible. I read to my kids every night. If the book is easy enough we take turns reading. Recently found a good incentive program that is free online. Kids read, take quizzes and earn points to get free stuff. Anything that will encourage reading will help. \nI hope the school has considered any learning disabilities. They should be able to test for and diagnose such things.

i had a friend with dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyspraxia... the only thing that worked for him to learn was repeated hands on teaching, he also had to be very very interested in what he was learning, because then he would try his hardest to actually comprehend the information given to him. this is a very difficult situation because most children at the age of 10-15 do not enjoy 90% of what is being taught to them.  My recommendation is to have a teacher that he/she  likes.  Someone who is willing to sit down and teach them 1 on 1 and have a lot of patience.  This person also should be very creative with the way he or she teaches due to the backwards mindset of these disorders. The ADD will make it harder to concentrate, but it shouldn't be as much of an issue if the teacher is animated as well.  I know what you are thinking... where can I find someone like that, and as for that i don't know. The one teacher's attention divided among 23 students, i think will not work

At that age, my son liked the Lionel books, by Stephen Krensky.  My son had a auditory processing problem called phonetic discrimination that kept him from being able to combine sounds into words, or break words apart & identify sounds.  \nI found an audiologist to do FastForword with him to help him with that.  \nThere is a shortage of books that focus on vowel sounds.  Although youngish the series of books by Barbera DeRubertis such as Lucky Duck can help if that is something that needs extra help.  I still have my son in reading tutoring via someone who is tutoring using the Masons Scottish Rites reading program, which uses the Orton-Gillingham method of teaching sound/phoneme reinforcement.  His reading & spelling are still weak, but the gap is narrowing.

What age/grade level are we talking about here? Is this child recieving special services (resource room, speech-language therapy, etc.)?  If the child is not linking sounds to symbols, how can you say that he/she has good phonological awareness? Does he/she blend and segment sounds well orally?\n\nIf you're a regular education teacher, ask around to find a good special education teacher in your district who is well grounded in reading remediation. Ask them for a consult for interventions you can incorporate into your classroom curriculum.\n\nIf you're a special education teacher and asking this question, what the heck program were you in that let you get by and graduate without learning basic remediation methodology? Sorry, but that would be the program's fault, not yours, and you should go yell at them for a while. Then you should go find a program that's decent and learn about effective techniques.\n\nIf the child is under the age of 9, it could very well be that he/she is not developmentally ready for reading. Refer him/her for special education support under "Developmentally delayed." If the child is over the age of 9, a program such as Hooked on Phonics, a tutoring system such as the Orton-Gillingham approach, etc. may be helpful. Refer the child for special education support under Speech-language or under specific learning disabled.

There is an excellent site called http://www.readinga-z.com that includes everything you need to teach your child how to read.  I've been a teacher for 7 years and I go there to get lesson plans, printable books, (which are leveled...So, as your child becomes a better reader, the books get more challenging and cover more skills) and phonics lessons.  This site is a teacher's Godsend.  There are thousands of resources on their site. Plus, they have 30 free books that you can download to try it out.  There is a yearly subscription fee to have access to all the resources. I hope this helps you out.

In researching this story, I came across the definition of the name "Simon". It means "hearkening" or "listening." I had already been thinking of the children's game "Simon Says." Not the electronic version with the lights, but the version where you have a group leader, and they say, "Simon says: touch your toes." Then you're supposed to touch your toes. But if they just say, "Touch your head" without prefacing it with "Simon Says" then you're "out." Anyway, it strikes me as interesting that this game is all about developing listening skills, paying attention to details of what is asked of you, and who is doing the asking. I've not found any evidence online that this game links back to the original Hebrew meaning of "Simon" but it's too compelling of a connection to ignore. \n\nSimilarly, it's also interesting to look at Simon of Cyrene's story in relation to the "Simon Says" game. Simon is pressed into service. He is commanded to take an action. He must listen.

Is this how the teachers teach in English class and spelling class???\nIt's called spell check...\nLook into it...
