ORFC Project Level Goal

• Increase student automaticity in whole word
  reading
• By the end of kindergarten, students need to be
  able to read VC and CVC words as whole units.
  Strive for new goal of 8-10 wrc in addition to 25
  sounds correct on NWF
• Increase of 1st grade students reaching ORF
  goal of 20 wrc by winter and 40 wrc by end of
  year

To Achieve the Goal

• Introduction of critical skills earlier in the
  year to provide kindergarteners with more
  practice on phoneme blending and continuous
  blending
• Provide more and earlier practice reading whole
  word units vs. sound by sound reading, thereby
  achieving more firmly established beginning word
  reading skills in Kindergarten

Phoneme Blending

• Instruction will start at lesson 45, instead of
  lesson 70, providing 25 additional days of
  practice

• Five examples per day, all with initial
  continuous sounds
