Short Summary
Phonics instruction shouldn’t end when students can decode short words. From an early age, they also need to be able to decode “big words”—words with multiple syllables (sound units) and morphemes (meaning units) —to read proficiently. Dr. Heidi Anne Mesmer shares a K–5 scope and sequence to guide practice, and offers abundant research-backed strategies that teachers can put into action immediately.

Key takeaways:

  • Presents an easy-to-follow K–5 scope and sequence to make teaching systematic, explicit, and developmentally appropriate.
  • Organized by grade and skill so teachers can find what they need quickly check.
  • Aligned with state standards and SOR-based foundational skills to work with any literacy curriculum.
