When it comes to The Big Picture and Structure of English, there is so much to learn and break down. The structure of English helps us build a foundation. There are lots of parts that come with building this foundation like the five components of reading. Place of articulation which is the location of a vocal tract where the airflow is produced by a constant

Three elements

• Functions of Print

• Conventions of Print

• Book Conventions

Preschool and Kindergarten is a great time to establish this to our students

How do we teach print awareness?

Read- Aloud

I learned that how to handle a book or where to start is what comes along with print awareness. The students who are falling behind while taking the benchmarks will have specific support in print awareness. Environmental prints are signs children see when they are around their community or school. Environmental print helps understand the concept of connecting words and pictures to understand the meaning.

1. teaching the connection between phonemes and graphemes

   1. helps make the words

2. Phonic abbreviations

   1. C= consonant

      1. Ex: b, m, or p

   2. V= vowel

      1. Ex: a, e, I, o, u

   3. CVC- Consonant Vowel Consonant

      1. Ex: cat, pet, pin, rug

   4. CCVC= Consonant Consonant Vowel Consonant

      1. Ex: keep, sleep, beep

   5. CVCE= consonant vowel consonant silent e

      1. Ex: tape or rope

3. Phonic Skills

   1. Consonant blend

      1. Ex: Bl as in blue

   2. Consonant digraphs

      Ex: Ch or sh

   3. R controlled vowels

      1. Ex: fear

   4. Long vowels

      1. Ex: Team

   5. Diphthongs

      1. Ex: Crown

I learned that decoding is looking at a word and connecting the letter and sounds and then blending all those sounds. Decoding is an essential skill for reading development.

There are two types of irregular words which are permanently and temporarily.

• Permanently

  • Words that have one or more sounds or spelling that are rule-breakers and not pronounced (said or two)

• Temporarily

  • It will start off irregular because a certain sound hasn't been learned yet (why or for)

High-frequency word

• 100 words that account for almost 50% of words that are used in text

Guidelines for Teaching Irregular Words

• introduce high-frequency words before low-frequency

• Do not introduce too many words at once

• introduce new words before they appear in the text

• review taught words daily

• Provide opportunities for students to use the words

I learned about heart words. The phoneme part in a word that is irregular is represented with a heart to let us know that part of the word has to be "read by heart". It is important because they want their students to understand some words are decodable.

the division of a multisyllabic word into separate syllables with each syllable containing a vowel sound

This is an important skill to have because t helps students read words

Syllable:

a word or part of a word pronounced as a unit

Six syllable types

Closed (dump)

Open(she)

Vowel combination(bread)

r-controlled (far)

Vowel-consonant e (hide)

Consonant-le (apple)

3 research-based approaches

1. using syllable types and division principles

2. identifying affixes or word parts

3. using flexible syllabication strategies.

Division Principles

VC/CV, V/CV, VC/V,VC/CCV, VCC/CV, consonant-le

I learned that there are many different syllabication rules.

I also learned that flexible syllabication is combining syllable types, division principles, and affixes to decode multisyllabic words. There are two affixes which are prefixes and suffixes.
