General Procedures for Using the CRP

Your praise and enthusiasm for the learners' successes, no matter how small those successes may seem, are essential aspects of the CRP. Failure and frustration should be avoided as much as possible. Because learners generally are successful with the CRP, you may well be surprised at the progress they will make. Your enthusiasm and praise will likely be natural and spontaneous. You will be teaching the learner to:

Say the sounds for the consonants presented (and their combinations), e.g., "m", "r", "w", "sw", "tr", "bl")

Say the unit sounds for the units presented, e.g., "an", "est", "ound"

Blend the consonant sounds and the unit sounds to form words, e.g., "m" + "an", "r" + "est", "w" + "ound"

Say the whole words presented, e.g., "the", "is", "people"

Find and say the units that have been presented, e.g., find and say "an" in "landing", "mansion", "animal"

Do all of the above when the appropriate upper or lower case letters are employed, e.g., "M", "R", "W", "An"

Read sentences formed from blended and whole words, e.g., "Ray ran.", "Is May the mailman?"

Read stories containing only words taught through that lesson, and answer comprehension questions about the stories.
