    Hi Anna
    I teach 5 yr olds and have always used a phonics, phonemic awareness, phonology and orthographic mapping approach. I use the beanie babes strategies to help put these skills into practice ie. getting lios ready to make the sound associated with the letter they are reading, stretching and blending the sounds or chunks in a word, flipping the first sound they try if it isn’t correct to another sound they know is made using that graph or diagraph etc. Now im hearing these beanie babe strategies are not SoR aligned. How is this the case?

      The problem is that some of the beanie baby strategies are bad: Eagle Eye (look at the picture) and Skippy the Frog (skip the word) because they don’t require looking at (and thus, having a chance to orthographically map) the word. In my opinion, the ones you’re using and the way you’re using them is just fine. 🙂
