Why Read Nonsense Words?

Nonsense words provide an indicator of a student’s progress in acquiring alphabetic principle skills( letter-sound correspondence).

How to use FLOWER POWER:

1. Quick formative Oral Assessment: As the student decodes the word aloud, put a checkmark beside each word pronounced correctly, then color in a shape. If read incorrectly mark the box and move on to the next word.
2. Independent decoding practice: students practice decoding words to improve their reading proficiency.

Five Variations:

1. The student identifies and pronounces only the vowel sound in the word.
2. Speed read- How many nonsense words can you read in one minute?
3. Small group instruction- each child reads a word, and offers peer support to help with self-correction.
4. Make silly sentences the silly words.
5. choose 5 silly words and make them into a real word.
