Precision Teaching at home.
Introduction If your child does precision teaching at school, it would be really beneficial for them to continue with this with you whilst the school is closed. This guide will hopefully be easy to follow so you will be able to continue using precision teaching at home. Precision Teaching develops fluency and accuracy so the children can master the skill. It needs to be delivered daily but only takes 15-20 minutes. The child needs to be involved in the monitoring of the progress so that they can see their success.
How will it work? Your child s class teacher will let you know what phase your child is working on. You will then need to download the resources for that phase and either print or read them off the screen. You will also need to print off a Precision Teaching Chart to complete.
STEP ONE - TEACHING Starting with the first sheet you need to look at the 4 sounds / words you are going to learn. You point to the sound and say it. I say .. Then point to the sound and you both say it We say . Then point to the sound and your child says it on their own You say Do this for all the sounds / words you are learning at the beginning of each session.
Step Two Reading the probe sheet. Your child now needs to read across the rows of the probe sheet to see how many of the words/ sounds they can read in one minute. Set a timer for one minute and begin. If they get to the bottom of the sheet, go back to the beginning. You need to keep a record of how many words they read in total and how many errors they made. If they are stuck on a sound/ word, give them 3 seconds and then move on
Step Three -Charting Print off a Precision Teaching Chart Put a cross to record the number of words your child read and on the same axis put another cross to show the number of errors they made. Over the week, the number of words read should increase and the errors should decrease. You are aiming to read at least 40 sounds/words per minute by the end of the week.
STEP FOUR Generalisation Activity Finally you need to do an activity where your child will use the skills they have just learnt. They could read a book to you. They highlight all the sounds /words they have been learning in an newspaper.
Finally Work through the sheets in order. When your child reaches 40 in a minute for 3 consecutive days, move on to the next sheet. If after 8 days they are not reaching 40 words/sounds a minute, email us and we will adapt or advise. The 3rdsheet will always be a revision of the last 2 sheets. Make sure your child can see on their chart that their skills are getting better. Please email with any queries and if you can email a photo/ scan of the charts as you go along. Good luck!
