  1. The Glass Analysis Sandra Schwartz and Cara Stromberg

  2. When Do You Use Glass Analysis? • When a student has difficulty decoding words • Decoding: breaking down a word into its’ speech sounds (sounding it out) • Pre-requisite skill to comprehension • When an individual can decode fluently, he/she has the ability to comprehend what he/she has read

  3. An Example

  4. Individual Letters to Clusters • Instead of decoding individual letters, clusters should be taught • Cluster patterns are found at the beginning, middle, and/or end of a word • Ex. “Spring” • S-P-R-I-N-G vs. SPR-ING

  5. Generalizing the Clusters • Need to perceive distinctive features in words (e.g., “spr” or “ing”) • Must compare and contrast cluster patterns (e.g., “sp” vs. “spr”) • Identification process is transferred to new words (e.g., “spring” vs. “bring”)

  6. The Glass Analysis • “active stimulus response process that is controlled by the teacher” (Miccinati, 2001, p. 140) • Standardized teaching method for teaching distinctive clusters within words

  7. Teacher presents word in print, while saying it Student looks at word, while saying it Teacher gives sounds of letters and asks which letters represent the sounds The student responds Teachers says the letters and asks for the sounds Student responds Teacher asks the student what the word is and the student responds with the entire word *if process breaks down, go back to step 1 Steps to Learn Letter Clusters

  8. Tips for Success • Teacher must engage student in the process at all time • Student must attend to word card throughout the intervention • Meaningful letter clusters should not be broken up, and the whole word should be presented • Consistent PRAISE and REINFORCEMENT is key!!!

  9. Practitioner Feedback • “With Glass-Analysis the kids are now actually reading, where before we all got bogged down just learning rules. In particular the 4th and 5th graders are proud to show visitors their new found success in reading aloud. Reading is a whole new thing to them." Barbara Bass (Reading teacher in Florida) • "It gives all children…an opportunity to feel instant success. My students are no longer intimidated by unknown ‘big’ words, and their spelling usually improves, too. Parents comment on the positive decoding progress their children make." Roslyn Brooks (Resource room teacher, Queens, NY) • "One method stands above all others for its functional simplicity and compatibility with the research of the past on word recognition. It is Glass-Analysis." Dr. Anthony Manzo (Professor of Reading and SPED, Kansas City)
