Question

Ms. haddad used lesson 5 from the teacher's manual to reinforce the "p" in the initial consonant position. first, she told students that they would be working on the letter "p." she showed them the letter "p" on a card and discussed what sound it makes in the initial position. students had a slate board and chalk. they divided their slate into four sections, each section containing a word family such as _ot, _at, _ill, and _al. ms haddad said the word "pat" and students filled in the initial consonant in the blank space. she then asked students to hold up their slates to check their work. to what type of instruction is this an example?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: explicit, systematic phonics

Explicit in this context refers to directly teaching the relationships between sound and spelling during the learning process. Systematic on the other hands means following the amount and sequence which allows children to form and read words from the easy one to the hard ones.
