The 'ROW‘ on WebSchool Project 2007/08 20 July 2007 Detta CHOW Special Education Support 2 (EDB)
Rebuilding Our Word-planet‘ROW’ • (1)CD ROM –for small remedial groups • –for parents to help the child at home • Web version–used by schools • with different groups/ in class • in routine lessons / small programmes • with teacher-guided/ by self-learning
The website of ROW(providing supplementary materials & information)http://www.edb.gov.hk/serc/row http://row.proj.hkedcity.net
Purpose of ROW Help Students with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) to master phonic skills and spelling patterns through word games
phonological processing short term memory Cognitive Differences lexical access automization temporal order discrimination
global thinking sensitive with pictures/symbols colour/sensation Right Brain Learner Cognitive Differences from whole to parts imagination/ 3D design creative/ intuitive

ROW Purpose Improve Eng. Learning Ability Master Phonics Patterns – sound/spelling association Word Games
A Structured Programme (make reference to "Alpha to Omega")
Phonics Approach • (letter-sound relationship) e.g.: a one name :a giving more than one sound: short sounda hat long sound a hate soft sound a panda
26 letters • vowel(V)a, e, i, o, u (w, y) • consonant (C) letter patternCVC CCVCt op st op onset vowel+ ending consonant(s) more e.g: CVC c at cat CCVC th at that CVCC w ash wash
long vowels CVCe wordsending e (make) vowel digraph(boat) soft sounds (better) silent sounds (knee) (aught) r-control sounds (card) ( pork) (verb)
Phonics Approach • learning monosyllable words: hat shape drum clock h sh dr cl at ape um ock onset rime Rhyming words are grouped in a Learning Tip
monosyllable words (closed or open) hat go CV CVC con. vowel cons cons. vowel open syllable- long sound closed syllable-short sound
learning two / multi-syllable words-to be aware of the no. of syllables - to divide syllables - to find the sound in each syllable apple banana umbrella ap / ple ba / na / na um / brel / la
Activity(? syllables) (put /) bottle () b o t t l e close ( ) c l o s e window ( ) w i n d o w singing ( ) s i n g i n g lorry ( ) l o r r y watch ( ) w a t c h pencil ( ) p e n c i l chopsticks ( ) c h o p s t i c k s wonderful ( ) w o n d e r f u l

Tutor-guided mode guided by teachers access to the programme (word list button) select appropriate tips to learn Adventure mode self-learning or with little help from teachers self-monitoring progress follow default learning order ( achieving 80/100 next item) Two learning modes
ROWLearning Programmes (P.16, P.26)
The ROW Programme • Use the Phonics Approach • Present and teach explicitly the letter-sound relationships • in small steps • carefully organized and sequenced • in a multi-sensory manner to reinforce memory
A Structured Programme (p.16-17) (make reference to "Alpha to Omega") • Elementary E1 - E3 (Primary) • Intermediate I1 - I2 • (Primary fast Learners) • Advanced A1 – A2 (Secondary)

Word bank • - words in tips (>5000) • - family words (>8000) • categories (>300 for 3 levels) • voice over (>15000 words)
Content Summary 1. monosyllable words letter names/ letter sounds/ letter writing short vowels e.g. - CVC words (onset and rime) - consonant blends - consonant digraphs - CCVC CVCC words - doubling endings
long vowels e.g CVCewords(make) vowel digraphs(boat) open syllable(go, me) soft sounds (better) silent sounds (knee) (aught) r-control sounds(card) ( pork) (verb)
2. syllable/multisyllable words • - syllable division rules • (VC/CV, double C, CV/CVC, /Cle) • soft ending (er, ar, or, our) • letter guards • prefix (in, pre, un....) • - suffix (ty, ful, less, ly) • - others: MTR stations, names, places, countries
3. others changed sounds (picture) homophones (see sea) compounds (into) irregulars (who)
4. grammar usage - past tense (ed) - plurals (+s +es) - short forms (can’t)
