Flashcards

Consolidated Alphabetic Stage

Children begin to recognize words by grouping letters and sounds into larger units like syllables, prefixes, suffixes, or common patterns. This is faster than sounding out each letter individually.

Automatic Stage

Word recognition becomes effortless and fluent. Readers can focus on understanding the text instead of decoding individual words.

Orthographic Processor

This part of the brain focuses on the visual aspects of written language. It identifies letters and letter patterns, recognizing how words look.

Phonological Processor

This processor deals with the sounds of language. It matches written letters to their corresponding sounds and blends these sounds to form words.

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.
