The SOS to Encode! Series provides a much-needed resource in the Elementary classroom. The SOS to Encode! Series presents a skills-based approach to improve student phonics skills, decoding, encoding, syllable segmentation, syllable blending, sentence editing, capitalization, and many other skills. This program allows three levels of instructional intensity and duration to allow teachers to customize instruction for each class, group, or student. Based on placement test recommendations, the teacher implements one of three plans: Plan A: the full encoding program (6-7 weeks), Plan B: the full phonics review (3-4 weeks), or Place C: strengthen sentence mechanics and editing skills (2 weeks). Following the completion of the program, students are assessed again to determine if they move to the next part in the series or need to repeat one of the plans for Part 1. The customization, formative assessment, and multisensory approach allow students to master needed encoding skills quickly in order to move on to higher-level literacy skills. SOS to Encode! uses the Simultaneous Oral Spelling strategy along with Multisensory phonics and encoding techniques, Developmentally scaffolded lessons, Instructional framework (Scope and Sequence) and a consistent lesson structure. By the end of the Part 1 of SOS to Encode!, students will be able to encode, decode, and spell CVC words, closed syllables containing consonant digraphs, edit writing, and self-regulate mechanics during authentic writing experiences.
