  3. Nine Areas of Learning about Phonics, Spelling, and Word Study Early Learning Concepts Phonological Awareness Letter Knowledge Letter-Sound Relationships Spelling Patterns High-Frequency Words Word Meaning/ Vocabulary Word Structure Word-Solving Actions

  4. Early Reading Concepts • Use information from pictures to help them learn about the print • Move left to right across print • Return sweep- move back to the left margin to read the next line • Match words one to one • Notice and isolate words in a text • Read simple one to three line texts using high frequency and letter-sound relationships to monitor their reading and solve new words • Have high expectations of print –that it makes sense and sounds like language (talking) • Use their own background experiences to make sense of a text • Build vocabulary by noticing new words, discussing word meaning, and “collecting” new words they encounter in books

  5. Early Learning Concepts of print The horse can run. The bug can crawl.

  6. Phonological Awareness • Kindergarten children can… • Recognize pairs of rhyming words • Produce rhyming words (make their own) • Identify beginning sounds in words • Identify onsets and rimes in words • Blend onsets and rimes to form words • Identify separate phonemes in words

  7. Letter Knowledge • Kindergarten children can… • Recognize and name most letters • Recognize and say the sounds that are connected to letters • Write many letters to match spoken sounds • Use their knowledge of sounds and letters to begin writing

  8. Letter-Sound Relationships • Kindergarten children can… • Tell the sounds of consonants • Explore “easy-to-hear” vowel sounds

  9. Spelling Patterns • Kindergarten children can… • Recognize CVC patterns • cat, man, tip, dad, mom • Recognize endings • -an can, pan, man • -at cat, pat, mat • -ay play, may, say • -aketake, rake, make • -ine-fine, line,

  12. Word Structure • Kindergarten children can… • Be introduced to simple rules for contractions, compound words, plurals, prefixes, affixes, possessives, and abbreviations during teacher read alouds, guided reading books, and interactive writing. • (This is beyond kindergarten)

  13. Word-Solving Actions • Kindergarten children can… • Learn the decoding strategies for stretching out tricky words. • What does “SOUND IT OUT” mean?

  14. Beanie Baby Strategies Good readers use DECODING STRATEGIES: …Then what should I say at home when my child is reading? Look at the pictures if you are stuck on a word. How can the picture help you? Look at the word that is tricky… what letter does it begin with? What sound does that letter make?

  15. Beanie Baby Strategies Good readers use DECODING STRATEGIES: Hmmm… that’s a tricky word. Let’s skip it and keep reading. Now, lets go back and find out what would make sense? Did that sentence sound right to you? Let’s go back and read it again!

  16. Beanie Baby Strategies Good readers use DECODING STRATEGIES: Hmmm… that’s a tricky word. Let’s slowly stretch it out to see what makes sense. Example: C-a-t P-e-n-c-i-l
