Direct Phonics Instruction

Direct Phonics Instruction by Anita Archer

Explicit Phonics Instruction

The videos are GREAT!  May be a great way to do a TDAP observation with your team.  Discuss how you can implement direct phonics instruction in your classroom.

You can view the videos from this website or they are also on our shared drive (see below).

I have moved 2 videos on direct phonics instruction to the Staff Shared-Public folder in our school drive.  There is a folder called "phonics routine videos".  It is an excellent resource on teaching phonics.  You will need your own lists of words but the process is excellent.
