Study Notes
Reading Comprehension and Word Decoding
- Accurate, rapid word recognition is essential for developing reading fluency and understanding text.
Literacy Development Activities
- Writing down and reading students' conversations aids oral language comprehension and literacy growth.
Four-Part Processing Model
- Reading involves creating connections between phonological, orthographic, and meaning processors.
Screening and Diagnostic Assessment
- When students score "somewhat at risk," teachers should analyze screening results and gather further diagnostic data.
Onset-Rime Structure
- The word "snow" is divided into onset (sn) and rime (ow).
Syllables in Words
- "Frightening" contains 3 syllables.
- "Cleaned" contains 1 syllable.
Phonemic Awareness Importance
- Identifying, segmenting, blending, and manipulating phonemes supports the ability to read words by sight.
Instructional Practices for Phonemic Awareness
- Have students observe their mouth movements in the mirror while forming target phonemes to enhance learning.
Advanced Phonemic Awareness
- The ability to substitute sounds in words signifies a high level of phonemic awareness.
Phonological Errors
- An example of substitution error includes spelling "skin" as "sgin," swapping voiced and unvoiced consonants.
Activities for Phonemic Awareness
- Reversing sounds in words works best for students who have already mastered basic phonemic skills.
Effective Phonics Instruction
- Phonics lessons should follow a logical sequence, organized in a planned progression.
Consonant Blends and Digraphs
- A lesson on consonant blends may include "plan," "squirm," "train."
- A lesson on consonant digraphs may include "phone," "throne," "shown."
Prealphabetic Phase Characteristics
- Students at the prealphabetic phase may lack understanding of basic terms like "word," "sentence," and "letter."
Learning Phonic Correspondences
- The word "vine" represents a phonic correspondence learned later in the sequence.
Automated Letter Recognition Practice
- Practicing naming uppercase and lowercase letters randomly enhances letter recognition for kindergarteners.
Best Key Word for Short E Introduction
- "Echo" serves as an ideal keyword for introducing the short e sound (/ĕ/).
Word Chaining Activities
- An effective word list for chaining might include "rat," "chat," "chap," "chip," "rip," "rap."
Improving Word Recognition and Spelling
- To enhance recognition and spelling, teachers should remove irregular words and teach them through sound blending.
Decodable Text for Phoneme-Grapheme Relationships
- Decodable texts provide the necessary practice for applying taught phoneme-grapheme relationships.
Greek and Latin Influences in Words
- Grapheme representing /k/ indicates Greek origin in the word "character."
- "Transport" is probably Latin-based.
English Spelling Features
- English words do not end with the letters j or v.
Phoneme-Grapheme Mapping
- "Wife" consists of 3 phonemes.
- "Dodged" has 4 phonemes.
- "Void" contains 3 phonemes.
- "Stream" has 5 phonemes.
- "Blaming" has 6 phonemes.
- "Thrill" consists of 4 phonemes.
Sound Representations
- The letter 'c' is pronounced /s/ when followed by I, e, or y.
Spelling Patterns
- "Lack" uses "ck" due to following a single short vowel at the end of a stressed syllable.
Syllable Structures
- The word "robot" contains an open syllable and a closed syllable.
- The word "owner" has a vowel team syllable and a vowel-r pattern syllable.
Morphological Understanding
- Misspelling "finally" as "finely" suggests a lack of understanding of morphemes.
Teaching Adjective Suffixes
- The word "native" may be used to illustrate adjective suffixes.
Explanation of Double Consonants
- The double ‘n’ in "beginning" is due to the base word ending in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel before the vowel-starting suffix.
Morphological Spelling Errors
- Spelling "playd" instead of "played" is a morphological error.
Phonologically Based Errors
- Writing "paz" for "praise" represents a phonologically based spelling error.
Definition of Reading Fluency
- Reading fluency is defined as oral reading that showcases accuracy, expression, and speed to support comprehension.
Automatic Word Recognition Strategies
- First, teach first graders how to apply consistent phonics patterns in controlled texts.
Assessing Language Skills
- For a lack of reading fluency, first assess phonology and decoding skills.
Instruction for Nonsense Syllables
- Students struggling with whole word reading should receive instruction in fluent phoneme blending.
Intervention Needs
- The greatest need for intervention is for students relying on context clues rather than decoding unfamiliar words.
