Ready to ditch your guessing strategies? Once you learn about the Science of Reading it's time to update your strategies to ones that focus on the text! I created this SOR decoding strategies resource to replace guessing strategies while supporting the Brain Research on how children learn to read. These structured literacy decoding strategy posters and bookmarks support research based activities on how the brain learns to read. **While still being fun and engaging for students.** This resource includes: color bulletin board letters color posters with Science of Reading based strategies color bookmarks ink saving black and white letters you can print on colored paper ink saving black and white bookmarks Designed for Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade the picture shows how I put up the bulletin board in my first grade classroom. It does not include the borders or colorful circle fans which I got at Hobby Lobby.
