What strategy or strategies Robin used most to help him learn to read?
First Robin starts out with phonics work. He doesn't use nonsense words but uses different blends to sound words out. He moves into reading a short story where he sounds out the words but uses the context to correct himself because he knows it doesn't sound right. Next he starts writing what he was reading. He puts together "chunks" that he noticed when he was driving one day with the words on a truck. Throughout the video, Robin is mainly using his phonics knowledge to sound out words he doesn't know. He looks in large words for chunks he recognizes to help him work through the unknown words. He has a good vocabulary from speaking which is an advantage for him to guess what the word is based off maybe a chunk or two that he was able to sound out. Robin worked very hard to become literate and his message is that if you believe that all your students have the ability to learn how to read, they will accomplish this.
