  1. Reading • Paradigms • Chall’s stages to reading • Early Literacy Issues • Phonological awareness • Fluency concerns • Comprehending Text • LEApproach • Programs

  2. What predicts reading achievement • It has been said that some kids are bright enough to learn how to read. Afterall, teaching reading is like rocket science… right? No! • According to Marilyn Adams: • Mental age is the 3rd best predictor of 1st grade reading achievement • Knowing your letter sounds is the 2nd best predictor of 1st grade reading achievement • Knowing your letters is the best predictor of 1st grade reading achievement. • Think: What does this mean to your instruction?

  3. Dyslexia IDA (2002) Dyslexia is a specific learning disabilities that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result in a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reasoning experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

  4. Reading Paradigms -A little background information on reading Bottom-up model-> words and letters are processed and meaning is derived Top-down model-> rely on prior knowledge and comprehension to develop reading language Interactive-> letters and words are used to predict or hypothesize language Which of these is phonics-oriented? Which is whole-language oriented? Explicit? Implicit?

  5. Chall’s Stages of Reading

  6. Early Literacy Issues (based on UFLi, Hayes, Lane, and Pullen) • Metalinguistic • phonological awareness • syntactic awareness • Print Awareness • genre awareness • concepts about print • Alphabetic Principle • letter/sound identity • Beginning Reading • sight words • decoding

  7. Phonological Awareness preparation in detail Connecting oral language to literacy • Phonemic segmentation • Phoneme manipulation • Syllable-splitting • Blending • Oddity

  8. Phonemic Segmentation Breaking apart a word or utterance by its individual sounds • no = /n/ /o/ • bad = /b/ /a/ /d/ • apple = /a/ /p/ /l/

  9. Phoneme Manipulation Changing the sounds within a word Onset: Say /won/. Now change the /w/ to /t/ Say /pit/. Now change the /p/ to /b/ Rime: Say /stop/. Now change the /op/ to /at/ Say /cat/. Now change the /at/ to /ow/

  10. Syllable Splitting Recognition of syllables within words Tap out the syllables for visit ho - ping Tap out the syllables for alligator all – i – ga – tor

  11. Blending Blending phonemes and syllables is important as students decode words Syllables mag – a – zine = magazine Phonemes p-r-o-b-l-e-m = problem

  12. Oddity Recognition of phoneme sounds Which word has a different first sound? a) floor; frog; drop; flag b) drop; drip; flop

  13. Reading Instructional Ideas • Word level • Manipulative letters (alphabetic principle) • Phoneme building • Fluency of recognition or decoding • CVC to CVVC for rule building • Sentence to Paragraph levels • SV; SSV; SSVV sentence development (build it slowly) • KWL strategy; vocabulary webs • Language Experience Approach • Paraphrasing

  14. Assessing oral reading • Word recognition accuracy on word list 100 independent; 95 instructional; 90 frustration • Comprehension accuracy 90 independent; 75 instructional; 50 frustration Fluency includes rate and prosody -between 100-140 wpm at grade level Watch the Video Clip of ORF Measure Administration https://dibels.uoregon.edu/measures/orf.php#

  15. Increasing Fluency • Have students practice high-frequency words • Have student read words, phrases, or passages in timed sessions • Use repeated readings until fluency is developed • Model fluent reading • Have students model reading to each other • Conduct a readers’ theater where students read with voice inflections • Review new vocabulary prior to reading a story or text (multisensory techniques are most effective)

  16. Improving ComprehensionDr. Nancy Corbett, Ph.D. • Improve Fluency • Repeated Readings • Provide Taped Stories • Use Keywords • Story Maps • Encourage Metacognition • Teach Paraphrasing • Mnemonics • Be creative

  17. Language Experience ApproachMercer p.541-2; Winebrenner Connect a student’s interests with reading and writing • Student draws picture or talks about an event • Teacher writes down the story • Student works on the dictated words individually (Elkonin boxes) • Student gradually writes his/her own story What are the benefits of such a program?

  18. Research validated programs • Orton-Gillingham • Wilson Reading System • Fernald Method • DIBELS (assessment) • Reading Recovery (mixed research) http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/reports/english_lang/read_recov/ http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/read.rr.research.farrall.htm

  19. Sum it up • What is fluency? • How can we improve it? • What is phonological awareness? How does it relate to literacy? • Name three tasks in helping students develop it. • What are the three best predictors of reading achievement for young children? • How can we help improve reading comprehension?
