Study Notes
Ehri's 4 Phases of Word Recognition Development
- Phases include: Pre-alphabetic, Partial Alphabetic, Full Alphabetic, and Consolidated Alphabetic.
Pre-alphabetic Phase
- Knowledge of the alphabet is absent; recognition is based on context rather than sound-symbol relationships.
- Example: Young children can "read" logos of familiar brands through visual recognition instead of letter understanding.
- Activities for intervention include:
- Cutting out familiar logos from magazines and labeling them.
- Locating logos in the classroom to highlight initial letters/sounds.
- Using phonic faces to enhance connections.
Partial Alphabetic Phase
- Initial connections between written words and their pronunciations form, relying on some knowledge of letters and sounds.
- Limited phonemic awareness leads to partial connections; for instance, recognizing "spoon" as "skin."
- Activities for intervention include:
- Creating CVC words on sentence strips and manipulating sounds.
- Identifying words with shared initial or final sounds.
- Using phonic faces to strengthen sound-letter associations.
Full Alphabetic Phase
- Establishes complete connections between letters in spelling and sounds in pronunciations, leading to accurate reading.
- Sight words are stored fully in memory, reducing confusion with similarly spelled words.
- Example of complete awareness: recognizing "S-W-EE-T."
- Activities for intervention include:
- Introducing and decoding sight words, CVC, and multisyllabic words.
- Working on blends to enhance decoding skills.
- Utilizing phonic faces for understanding short and long vowel relationships.
Consolidated Alphabetic Phase
- Children learn a larger set of sight words, allowing recognition of words as complete units.
- Example: The word "sweet" may be processed as two units: "sw" and "eet."
- Activities for intervention include:
- Introducing more advanced sight words appropriate for grade level.
- Demonstrating morphological changes to words for tense or meaning alterations.
- Showing how word forms can change, facilitating deeper understanding of language structure.
