Study Notes

Reading Theories and Models

  • Theories of reading instruction and learning have varying degrees of success and popularity over time.

The Bottom-Up and Top-Down Models of Literacy

  • Bottom-up processes involve taking in information from the outside world, such as reading symbols, without relying on prior knowledge.
  • Top-down processes involve absorption of information influenced by prior expertise and expectations.
  • Both bottom-up and top-down processes typically work together to produce quick and precise results.

Key Reading Components

Phonics

  • Refers to understanding the sounds that match up with the letters of the alphabet, including short and long vowels.
  • In education, phonics describes a type of literacy education that teaches how certain letters and syllables sound, rather than individual letters or words.

Phonemic Awareness

  • Involves comprehending the sounds that letter combinations make, including complete words, syllables, and consonant blends.

Vocabulary
