What
How
What makes HTCRS effective?
The ‘What’
Structure – of the orthography using a well-defined
framework (meta-cognition)o ruleso ways of thinking
– of exercises based on task analysiso Reading exercises prior to reading (phoneme blending)o Spelling exercises prior to spelling (phoneme segmentation)
The ‘How’ Direct instruction
– Teacher is model– Rows facing the teacher– Differentiation during group lesson
Orientation basis (Russian psychology)– Concrete goal– Practice each of the components – Integration in existing knowledge
Multi-sensory basis– Visual, auditory, and motor
Daily repetition & assessment– Each day same order of exercises– Each day a spelling test
Guaranteed success
