The average reader instantly recognizes 30,000 to 70,000 words--with no need to sound them out. How does that happen? Through a process called orthographic mapping. This book explains the process by which readers embed words into their long-term memories, and the instruction necessary to help K-5 students do just that.

Teachers will learn how to connect decoding, encoding, and meaning through a four-step, research-based, classroom-tested routine that accelerates students' abilities to lift words off the page and capture them in reading and writing.

Educator Takeaways:

  • No more rote memorization of words-this routine makes words stick permanently so students spend less time and energy decoding, more time reading.

  • Provides the missing link for K-2 teachers who must teach foundational skills and who need to accelerate older striving readers.

  • Includes classroom videos that show the four-part routine in action, and downloadable tools to implement it.

  • Can be integrated with any K-5 reading curriculum to provide a stronger foundation for kids.
