ACTIVITY Circle Group • Where are you at today? What are you thinking about? • What’s one thing that sticks in your mind from yesterday? • What’s something you want to do before you run out of summer?
STRATEGY #1 - WORD SORTS 1. Words on 3x5 cards (for younger) a. lists for older 2. Students look for groups a. create groups - letter sounds b. semantics 3. Letter patterns and vocabulary
ACTIVITY STRATEGY #2 - THE GROUPING GAME • Students stand • Students given a group of words • Need to see and name a group (two or more words that are the same) – 10 seconds 4. When you can’t name a group - you’ve got to sit down

STRATEGY #3 - SENTENCES 1. In small group - a. sentence related to reading instruction b. scary or silly sentence c. Minnesota Vikings sentence The greatest Viking of all time!

The National Reading Panel (NRP, 2000) identified five essential components of reading instruction:
I. 10 INSTRUCTIONAL ELEMENTS: COMPREHENSIVE READING INSTRUCTION
1. Concepts of print 2. Phonemic awareness * Instruction related to concepts of print as well as phonemic awareness activities should be discontinued once students are reading comfortably at the first grade level. 3. Emotion and Motivation. 4. Phonics putting sounds to letters 5. Word Identification strategies/skills * Instruction related to phonics and word identification should be discontinued as word identification strategies when students are reading at reading comfortably at the 3rd grade level; however, word identification strategies should be continued as part of vocabulary development. 6. Fluency 7. Vocabulary 8. Comprehension 9. Writing 10. Literature
II. Six Ways to Identify Words 1. Context clues (semantics) 2. Word order and grammar (syntax) 3. Word parts, analogy, or analyzing words (phonograms) 4. Morphemic analysis (prefixes, suffixes, and root words) 5. Sight words 6. Phonics
ACTIVITY Turn to a neighbor – What are you thinking about … right now
1. 99.98% of students with reading difficulties already know how to read • they just can’t read very well • need reading practice 2. We don’t teach reading a. we create the conditions where by students can develop their ability to create meaning with print b. a little instruction, a LOT of practice
Problems with Phonics-Only Reading Programs Examples: DISTAR and Orton-Gillingham 1. Only about 50% of students with reading difficulties struggle because of phonetic difficulties. 2. Focuses on only one of the ten essential elements. 3. Focuses only one of six word identification strategies. 4. Phonics-only programs rarely work. 5. Abstract, meaningless, not very motivating.
Human brains learn complex things best from whole-to-part; NOT, part-to-whole
The National Institute for Child Health and Development (NICHD, 2000) reported that early emphasis on code-oriented activities enhances performance on phonological awareness and pseudo-word pronunciation tasks but does not produce reliable gains on word reading or text comprehension.
IV. 7 TIPS FOR DEVELOPING PHONETIC AWARENESS 1. Teach the minimum amount of phonics necessary. 2. Help children fall in love with books. 3. Phonics instruction = explicit, short, and briefly paced.
4. 20/80 or 30/70 5. Balance - focus on all three cuing systems. 6. Teach phonics in context of 38 MF phonograms 7. Use Zeno MFW - 107 Most Frequent Word Lists
Texan: "Where are you from?“ • Harvard Graduate: "I come from a place where we do not end sentences with prepositions." • Texan: "Okay— where are you from, jackass?"
IV. WORD IDENTIFICATION STRATEGIES Word recognitionrefers to an instant or automatic recall of words without the use of any strategy, skill, or cognitive mechanism Word identificationis a process or strategy used to figure out words that you do not automatically recognize.
STRATEGY #4. DICTATED SENTENCES - (PHONOGRAMS) zeno-phonograms • Sentence use target phonograms and Zeno words. • Dictate sentences, one at a time, to students. • Students write in their journal (online journal or paper journal). Examples with AY phonogram 1. I will go there one day. 2. Will you please pay me now? 3. I will lay the new doll on the bed.
STRATEGY #5. ANALYTIC APPROACH TO PHONICS Analyze words found in authentic text Steps • Display text (board, PPT, or shared reading) (one to two paragraphs) • Use ScORe to read text • Ask students to identify words with … (beginning, middle, ending sound) • Have students tell you to identify a word.
When you hear the term, “systematic phonics instruction” what do you think of?
STRATEGY #6. SYSTEMATIC PHONICS INSTRUCTION • Systematic does not mean standardized scope and sequence a. teach specific skills in a predetermined order b. human brains do not work that way c. we don’t learn from part-to-whole 2. Instead, a system to make sure you cover the essentials and to document progress
Also --- keep track of when students master a skill. 1. Listen to 3 to 4 students read each day (15 to 20 students a week.) 2. Oral reading – more authentic, more direct measure vs. standardized tests 3. Individual sheet for each student 4. Check and date when students have mastered letter-sound, sight work, phonogram.
ACTIVITY 1. Mind map 2. Find one idea 3. Find related or supporting ideas 4. Add pictures or diagrams 5. Gallery Walk - or Pass the Mind Map
STRATEGY #7: WORD ANALYSIS: A STRATEGY FOR IDENTIFYING WORDS 1. Sentence with a target word in it. 2. What word might make sense (context clues)? 3. Parts of word that are recognized? 4. Use the word parts to construct a word or to make a guess. 5. Re-read sentence, check for meaning.
STRATEGY #8. DECODING BY ANALOGY - TARGET PRACTICE 1. Show students a target word in the context of a sentence 2. Ask students to identify parts of words that are familiar a. phonograms b. prefixes c. suffixes d. root words e. consonants 3. Goal is to develop automaticity 4. When encountering an unknown word - don’t ask to sound out
We often disagree with each other. disagree disagree disagree Target Practice
STRATEGY #9. WORD BUILDING OR ONSET-RIME 1. have a rime --- students create new word by adding onset 2. Have onset --- students create new rods by adding rimes.
b--ill bill d--ill dill
f--ill fill h--ill hill
J--ill Jill m--ill mill
STRATEGY #10. TREASURE HUNTS 1. Introduce letter-sound, or phonogram 2. Create simple DRC 3. Review, re-read story (individually or with partner) 4. Treasure hunt
STRATEGY #12. WORD WALLS 1. Words on a wall a. poster or bulletin board. b. grouped by letter pattern or subject 2. Sponge activities and riddles a. I’m thinking of a word - short vowel sound b. let students do riddles 3. Create sentences a. silly sentences b. Vikings sentence c. school sentences.
