The strategies and resources
for rhyming that I provided to support the selected colleague were:
·
Reading Rockets
Rhyming Page or the Onset and Rhyme
Page
o
Reasoning: Reading Rockets is a reputable peer-reviewed
easy to use page. Reading Rockets offers research-based resources that are up
to date with current best practices. Reading Rockets provides concrete things
to do and explains them in an easy-to-understand way.
o
How this will Help: The videos and explicit instructions
for better ways of rhyme, instruction will support the teacher in understanding
how to help her students understand how to produce a rhyme.
·
Florida
Center for Reading Research’s Rhyming and Onset and Rime center sections
o
Reasoning: Florida Center for Reading Research
is a well-respected, research-based resource. The website has a wide variety of
activities that can be easily differentiated for students. These are some of
the same activities listed on the Reading Rockets Website above. They are
written so that even a novice can understand how to use them appropriately.
o
How this will Help: By giving the teacher various
resources (variety of games on the site), she can find ones that best engage her
students. Also, giving her a resource supported by the other resource provided builds
on that knowledge and helps her make a connection.

A Fresh Look at Phonics, by Wiley Blevins
pg. 5, 13 & 187-188
o
Reasoning: Wiley Blevins is considered a world-renowned
expert of phonics. His book is explicit as it outlines what educators are doing
incorrectly during rhyme instruction. He also lays out ways to fix that so that
rhyme instruction can be efficient and effective. Also, giving her the page
numbers and not the whole book is less overwhelming.
o
How this will Help: Teaching her how to
efficiently and effectively provide rhyme instruction will support students in
understanding rhyme. The students may not be understanding rhyme because of a lack
of quality instruction. Reading this text will help fix that by supporting the
teacher in understanding how to teach rhyme and onset and rime effectively.

IMSE Orton Gillingham
Rhyming Activities
o
Reasoning: Orton Gillingham is a well-respected,
research-based, established approach to literacy instruction. It used proven techniques and strategies to
support all learners especially those with dyslexia.
o
How This will Help: The video supports the
teacher, who is a visual learner and often struggles with reading things like
the teacher’s manual, to see what activities and interactions are supposed to
be like during quality rhyme instruction.
