CR Success is the phonics based program that is used in second grade. Your child has used this program in kindergarten and first grade as well. CR Success works hand in hand with our spelling program to help give our students a solid foundation understanding of phonic rules and structures. Students will learn phonic patterns that correlate to the patterns we see within our spelling words.
Phonemic awareness (phonics) refers to the specific ability to focus on and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. Phonemes are the smallest units comprising spoken language. Phonemes combine to form syllables and words. For example, the word 'mat' has three phonemes: /m/ /a/ /t/. There are 44 phonemes in the English language, including sounds represented by letter combinations such as /th/. Acquiring phonemic awareness is important because it is the foundation for spelling and word recognition skills. (Reading Rockets)
Below, is an image to help display what makes someone a skilled reader. Phonics falls under the "Word Recognition" category. At the start of second grade, a majority of students are near the beginning of the rope. At the end of second grade, a majority of students will be where the ropes are starting to become tightly intertwined. CR Success is a tool that helps us achieve these goals.
When practicing spelling words with your student you can ask them to divide the word into syllables and pinch out the sounds that they hear in the word. This directly correlates with how we practice spelling in the classroom.
