Review this week’s readings and any other research-based resources   that feature strategies on teaching adolescents to read with accuracy,   automaticity, and prosody.

Develop a series of four lesson plans comprised of different   strategies for teaching adolescents to decode words. Each lesson   should address one of each of the following decoding-related skills:  Greek/Latin words, affixes, phonics, and syllabication. Use standard   lesson-plan format.

Write an essay of 500-750 words on the following:

1. Identify two effective pedagogical strategies to decode words     using knowledge of phonics, syllabication, and word parts. Analyze,     appraise, and explain why you think they are effective.
2. Using examples, explain how you would transition adolescent     students into writing by linking any two of the lesson plans     developed for this assignment with two writing activities that     further support the lesson content.

Support all of your ideas with citations from your readings. Use the of an academic Library for additional peer-reviewed articles that can be used in   support of your content. Cite a minimum of five academic sources.

While APA format is not required for this assignment, solid academic  writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be  presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in   the APA Style Guide,
