Teaching Phonics
Flash cards are excellent teaching tools to help students learn short vowel sounds and other phonics skills. These flash cards will help you reinforce skills in short vowel sounds at home or at school.
1. Flash Cards for Short Vowel Sounds
These flash cards can help children and adult learners with short vowel sounds. The constant time delay technique is an effective strategy to use with these and any other flash cards teaching other skills in other subject areas.
Flash Cards for Short Vowel Sounds:
Flash card teaching strategies are popular with teachers because of their effectiveness. Parents also appreciate the flash card because it is an easy teaching strategy for home. There are several ways to use flashcards for teaching. This flashcard teaching strategy, the Constant Time Delay (CTD) technique, is widely used by special and regular education teachers. The CTD strategy can be used easily with flash cards at home to teach any subject.
Flash Card Materials Needed:
Flash cards with the question, problem, or sight word on the front side and the answer prompt on the back.
Steps:
1. Sit comfortably facing your child. 2. Arrange the flash cards in the order you would like to present them. 3. Starting with the first flash card, hold it up so your child can clearly see the front. Keep the back of the flash card toward you so your child cannot see it. 4. If appropriate, read the flash card front to your child. For example, you may read a math problem or a question from the flash card front. Wait three full seconds.
You do not need a timer to use flash cards. You can count three seconds silently by saying, “one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three” at a normal speaking pace. This will allow your child about three seconds to consider the question on the flash card and think about his answers. 5. If your child gives a correct answer, place the correctly answered flash card in a pile on your left. 6. If your child gives an

    The first assessment given was the Word Recognition Test using a flash and untimed version. The flash version of the assessment was conducted in the same manner of Dr. Bear (Laureate Education, Inc., 2009a) by using index cards to cover the words and moving the cards to quickly show the student the word to be read. This particular student achieved 45% accuracy on the preprimer words and 70% on the same list when untimed. The student showed a 35% increase in word recognition when he was given time to look at the word and sound it out. The assessment proceeded to the primer list of words resulting in 35% accurate on the flash version and 65% on the untimed. As the student continued to the first and second grade list, his performance continued to drop resulting…

    This activity allows for students, in the future, to be able sound out words that they do not understand. When students understand that words are made up of specific letter sounds, then they will understand that they can sound out those letters and figure out what word they are reading. Other phonemic awareness practices that are utilized in the CRP are phonemic isolation and phonemic substitution. Both of these practices are vital for student accomplishment because, all together, the practices are the gateway for children to be able to succeed in the other essential reading elements. In the text “Literacy for the 21st Century. A Balanced Approach” written by Gail Tompkins, it states that phonemic awareness is crucial to the reading process. When children have a strong phonemic awareness, they are able to understand how to manipulate sounds in spoken words and apply phoneme-grapheme correspondence and phonics rules, as they read (pg. 39). If children do not have a strong phonemic awareness, then they will be presented with a struggle when it comes to reading, fluency, comprehension, and many other elements essential to reading. Page 151 in the text states “children can be explicitly taught to…

    3) I think that these flash cards are the best thing since sliced bread!!! I immensely enjoy flash cards to begin with, and the high tech methods in which they are displayed on the website really intrigue me. I believe that these are a great way to study for the quizzes and exams where we need to know the definition of vocabulary words on the outline you provided us. I also enjoy the way in which we can specifically choose exactly which words we want to be quizzed on, and the interface is not even that difficult to manipulate! Do you think we might be able to play some sort of game in class with these?…

    Teaching decoding provides students with the keys to unlock new words. Teaching the regular phonetic patterns of English can do this. These rules can be applied to words with which the student is already familiar. New words are then introduced beginning with simple words and working through more complex words. Finally, irregular phonemic patterns can be introduced and eventually mastered.…
