This includes controlling the sounds in words when blending, stretching, or changing the words. Students show phonemic awareness in 4 specific ways. “The first way is recognizing which words in a group of words start with the same beginning letter”. For example, kind, kite, and kick all have the /k/ sound at the beginning. Another way to demonstrate phonemic awareness is to isolate and say only a word’s beginning or ending sound. For example, the beginning sound in the cat is /c/, and the ending sound in the kit is /t/. The third way children can demonstrate phonemic awareness is to combine or blend the separate sounds in a word to say the word. For example, say /t/ /o/ /p/ for the top. Lastly, children can demonstrate phonemic awareness by segmenting or breaking up a word into separate sounds, for example, cup as /c/ /u/ /p/.  According to the University of Oregon Center on Teaching and Learning, n.d. phonemic awareness is not phonics, it is auditory and does not involve words in print.

Words are made up of letters that create sounds. When the sounds are put together it creates a spoken word. According to Reading Rockets, as individuals read, they have to identify letter(s) and their sounds and blend these sounds together to read a word, this is called decoding. Decoding and comprehension are processes needed to read and understand what children are reading. “There are 44 sounds also known as phonemes in the English Language that are being used to create spoken words.” Phonics is the understanding of how a letter(s) creates sounds. ]]> 2023-02-28 22:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kaw44431/f9fadnmrv0t04v5u/wish/2498678967 kaw44431 https://padlet.com/kaw44431/f9fadnmrv0t04v5u/wish/2498684738 This is an important part of literacy teaching and the knowledge of words including their structure which is called morphology, the use of the word is called grammar, the meaning of the word is called semantics, and the link to another word is called semantic relationships. Oral vocabulary is what children can understand or make use of while talking or listening. Oral vocabulary is firmly related to reading vocabulary, which is the words that children know and understand and use in reading or writing. According to the Department of Education, n.d. words all have meanings that can vary according to context, phonology- that is sounds; morphology-word parts; syntax-the way in which words are arranged to form phrases or sentences.

According to Reading Rockets, n.d. to be able to accurately understand written material, children need to be able to 1) decode what they read, 2) make connections between what they read and what they already know 3) think deeply about what they have read. The biggest part of comprehension is having a big vocabulary, or knowing what words mean. This involves putting reading, reasoning, and thinking skills together. ]]> 2023-02-28 22:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaw44431/f9fadnmrv0t04v5u/wish/2498689004 kaw44431 https://padlet.com/kaw44431/f9fadnmrv0t04v5u/wish/2498696179 This is the ability to read a text accurately and in a timely manner with expression. According to Reading Rockets, fluent reading builds stamina for reading lengthy or complex texts. When children read fluently it creates a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. When children can read fluently by themselves, they recognized words quickly. They know to group words together quickly to help them gain meaning from what they read. These types of readers read without any mistakes and with expression.
