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.
