There is so much Science of Learning research related to teaching math! I hope the movement starts to become more cohesive and the resources become as prevalent as those we now have for structured literacy and reading intervention.

"Mathematicians struggle with unsolved problems because they haven't been solved by anyone… [they] have lots of knowledge and techniques that helps them tackle those problems. Don't compare kids who lack knowledge to mathematicians, who are experts." - Dr.Anna Stokke

Evidence-based practices can reach all readers and give everyone another step toward equity.

These skills are based off of many phonics "Scope & Sequence" progressions.

After kids have mastered their basic letter sounds and 3 sound short vowel words (CVC), it can be difficult to tell where to go next. Following a list of skills like this from simplest concepts to trickier concepts helps to guide systematic, explicit instruction..

4. Magic E Words: This is another really common spelling of long vowel sounds
cape, home, pine, cute, these

3. Open Syllables: This is the most common syllable type after closed syllables with a short vowel. When a vowel is "unprotected" at the end of a syllable, the vowel typically spells it's long sound.
go, she, we, hi

2. Digraphs: Consonant digraphs are two letters spelling 1 new sound! These words should still have short vowels.
wish, chip, whiz, them

READ EXAMPLE WORDS ⬇️
1. Consonant blends: Look up CCVC or CVCC words. Blends are two consonants that each make their own sound smooshed together. These words should still have short vowels.
block, crab, grass, frog, hint, mast, gift

If students haven't learned a spelling pattern yet, I wait until it comes up in our scope & sequence to unpack related high frequency words. I also add in morphology and etymology talks to add more depth to our sound mapping!
