Anchor Lesson  \n• complete daily before beginning individual lessons  \n• “I do, We do,You do”  \n• each targeted skill has a different anchor lesson  \n2.

Refer to the scoring guide to plan for next steps in instruction.  \n• Once all skills scored at less than 80% on the placement assessment have been taught and mastered (based on the End of Unit Assessments), readminister the placement assessment as a Post-test.  \nLessons: What’s next?  \n• RE-ASSESS: Once all parts and lessons have been taught, readminister the placement assessments (pages 5-12) to inform further instructional needs.  \n• RE-TEACH: Use the post-assessment to identify specific skills that require additional remediation  \n• If the student is not yet proficient, consider providing additional scaffolding by creating more “We Do” opportunities.  \n• CONNECT: Phonemic Awareness is just one piece of literacy instruction and intervention  \n• After receiving explicit instruction in phonemic awareness (Heggerty/Bridge the Gap), and reaching proficiency with these skills, students may still struggle with decoding and encoding.  \nLessons: Something to Consider  \nAccording to the National Reading Panel Report (2000),“Teachers should recognize that acquiring phonemic awareness is a means rather than an end. PA is not acquired for its own sake, but rather for its value in helping learners understand and use the alphabetic system to read and write.”  \n“ However, it is also clear that this instruction is only one small part of an effective overall reading curriculum. Good training in phonological awareness should be combined with systematic, direct, and explicit instruction in phonics, as well as rich experiences with language and literature….”(Torgesen & Mathes, 2000)","cbCairxlgmi63tjh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairxlgmi63tjh","pdf",582720,"English","# Overview\n## Purpose and Audience\n## Format and Assessment\n# Curriculum Breakdown\n## Parts or Units\n# Let’s Get Started\n## Placement Test\n## Scoring Placement Test\n## Link to Assessment Video\n# Lessons\n## Anchor Lesson\n## Targeted Skill Lessons\n## Lessons: Hand Motions\n## End of Unit Assessment\n## Lessons: What’s next?\n## Lessons: Something to Consider","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Bridge the Gap manual?\",\"answer\":\"It provides targeted instruction for students who are not yet proficient with phonemic awareness, helping identify starting points and monitor progress through the curriculum units.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the placement test used?\",\"answer\":\"The placement test (conducted one-on-one in about 15 minutes) identifies the starting part and lesson for the student.
