Study Notes
Reading and Writing Theories
- Simple view of reading: proposes reading comprehension is from decoding and language comprehension
- Decoding: Converting written words to spoken words, recognizing letters and their corresponding sounds, blending sounds to form words
- Struggling readers may have difficulties in decoding (often seen in students with dyslexia or those lacking phonics instruction)
- Language Comprehension: Understanding spoken language, including vocabulary knowledge, background knowledge, grammatical understanding, and inferencing skills
- Struggling readers often have difficulties with language comprehension (students with limited vocabulary, poor oral language skills, or low exposure to rich language experiences)
- Effective reading instruction focuses on building vocabulary, background knowledge, and higher-order thinking skills
Ehri's Stages of Reading Development
- Stages of reading development illustrate how children learn to recognize words and how word recognition evolves visually, with cues from context, and progresses to automaticity.
- Pre-Alphabetic Stage: Children recognize words based on visual cues or context, not letters or sounds. (Examples: recognizing "McDonald's" based on logo or "STOP" on a stop sign.)
- Key features: No understanding of alphabetic principle or connection between letters and sounds, reliance on visual patterns or environmental context
- Partial Alphabetic Stage: Children understand letters represent sounds, attempting to decode words based on some letters (e.g., the first and last letters)
- Key features: Increased phonemic awareness; limited decoding ability; guesses words based on some letters and context
- Full Alphabetic Stage: Children fully understand the alphabetic principle, decoding words systematically by sounding out letters. They store words in memory based on letter-sound correspondences
- Key features: Increased phonics knowledge; able to decode unfamiliar words; development of sight word vocabulary
- Consolidated Alphabetic Stage: Children group letters and sounds into larger units, such as syllables, prefixes, suffixes, or common patterns.
Scarborough's Rope Model of Reading
- Scarborough's rope model illustrates complex, interconnected components for skilled reading that emphasizes different skills and processes supporting reading fluency and comprehension.
- Word recognition is the foundation, emphasizing decoding, with phonological awareness, decoding, and sight recognition.
Meaning and Comprehension
- Top-down models take precedence over decoding. Readers/writers rely on background knowledge, context, and predictions to interpret text (e.g., guessing the meaning of a word from surrounding context in a sentence)
- Bottom-up models are driven by decoding. Literacy starts with mastering the basic building block of language, such as sounding out letters and blending them into words.
Teaching Emergent Bilinguals
- Krashen's theory of comprehensible input: Provide language learners with input slightly above their current level. (Visual aids and simple terms, like teaching the butterfly life cycle)
- Funds of knowledge approach: Integrating cultural and experiential knowledge from students and their families. (example: student interviews family members to write about cultural traditions)
Literacy Knowledge
- Understanding text structures and conventions
- Narrative vs. expository texts
Cognitive and Sociocultural Theories
- Cognitive theories: mental processes like decoding, comprehension, and memory involved in reading/writing, influenced by understanding how the brain processes language.
- Sociocultural theories: The influence of family, peers, and cultural norms on literacy practices (incorporate students' cultural backgrounds into reading materials)
Stages of Language Development
- Specific stages within the emergent stage of language development when students learn letter recognition, basic phonemic awareness, and simple rhyming.
Reading and Writing Challenges
- Difficulties in phonemic awareness and inaccurate decoding are common challenges in reading.
- Instructional strategies to address these challenges include explicit phonics instruction, multisensory learning, the use of decodable texts and fluency practice.
Spelling Development
- Regular spelling patterns match the sounds, while irregular patterns do not.
- Instructional strategies for spelling development include teaching spelling rules, word mapping, and practicing spelling with context.
Activities for Teaching
- Activities include specific examples for decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension development.
Metacognitive Strategies
- Thinking aloud, self-questioning, and graphic organizers are metacognitive strategies that help students monitor and evaluate their thinking during reading and writing.
