  1. Reading instruction…it’s not just“sound-it-out” anymore!Presented byMelanie Condon

  2. So, if they don’t “sound-it-out”, what do they do? • Look at the pictures! • Think about what makes sense! • Get your mouth ready for the first sound! • Reread and try again! • Skip the word, read on, and go back! • Look for little parts or words you know! • Sound it out IN CHUNKS!

  3. Now you know what they do, but why??

  4. In school reading instruction looks like… • Whole group • Read aloud/think aloud • Shared reading • Shared writing • Interactive read aloud and writing • Small group • Guided reading • Guided writing • Individual • Independent reading • Independent writing

  5. Essential components of Reading • Phonemic awareness- hearing sounds in words • Phonics-sound/letter relationship (attaching a letter or chunk to a specific sound) • Fluency- reading accurately, effortlessly, and automatically. Fluent readers attend to punctuation, use expression, and read smoothly at a good pace. Fast DOES NOT equal fluent! • Vocabulary- understanding what words say and what they mean in the text • Comprehension- This is the ULTIMATE GOAL of reading. Good readers: make connections, predict, question, monitor, visualize, and summarize.

  6. As a parent, what can you do? • Read to your child! (yes, even after they know how to read!!) Model good reading! • When your child is reading to you, make sure the book is not too hard…Use the 5 Finger Rule! • Give your child time to figure it out…don’t correct right away. • Give your child specific praise at the end of the book that he or she reads. (I like the way you…) • Discuss books with your child. Talk about characters, problems, and solutions. Help your child to make connections with text. • Point out words in your child’s environment. Practice reading these words. • Help your child memorize sight words! This just takes practice!
