Manipulating the sounds in words includes blending, stretching, or otherwise changing words. Children can demonstrate phonemic awareness in several ways, including.]]> 2021-06-01 14:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1576352285 Strategy to reinforce Phonemic Awareness sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1576471861 Decoding skills and identify a word that is stretched out into its basic sound elements. Students will be able to blend and identify a word that is stretched out into its component sounds.
 Phonemic awareness helps young children use more advanced ways of learning new words. Learning a new word involves forming a connection between visual information about the word as it appears in print and its meaning, pronunciation, and other information that is stored in the child’s oral vocabulary. This connection is what enables the reader to access information  about the word stored in the brain when the word is encountered in print. Faster, stronger connections help produce more proficient reading. In the more advanced phases of learning new words, phonemic awareness plays an important role in making these connections ]]> 2021-06-01 14:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1576471861 Supports reading and writing sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1576523729 Simple activities such as talking and engaging in conversation, playing word games, singing songs, learning nursery rhymes and poems all contribute to the development of phonological awareness (Daffern, 2018; Goswami, 2014; Mackenzie & Hemmings, 2014). Once an early writer can hear the individual speech sounds in a word (i.e. can segment sounds in words) they are ready to visually match to letters. Students will have varied phonological awareness knowledge.]]> 2021-06-01 14:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1576523729 Phonics instruction teaches the relationships between the letters of written language and the sounds of spoken language. Children's reading development is dependent on their understanding of the alphabetic principle — the idea that letters and letter patterns represent the sounds of spoken language. "Decoding" is the act of sounding out words using phonics. sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577791081 2021-06-01 22:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577791081 Strategy to reinforce Phonics sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577792224 letter-name, sound, and corresponding action to help solidify letter-sound correspondences in an active and engaging way — with a song.]]> 2021-06-01 22:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577792224 Supports reading and writing sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577793074 phonics reaps rich rewards for students in terms of the passive skill of reading. This is also known as decoding.
Later, the student’s knowledge of phonics can help them develop the active skill of writing, or encoding.

Reading fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577800430 2021-06-01 22:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577800430 Strategy to reinforce fluency sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577801337 students should practice rereading aloud texts that are reasonably easy for them – that is, texts containing mostly words that they know or can decode easily. In other words, the texts should be at the students' independent reading level.
Choose a reading passage and audio recording of the reading that is slightly above students' independent reading levels.]]> 2021-06-01 22:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577801337 Supports reading and writing sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577805793 When you’re trying to improve fluency, it helps to see the same text multiple times. Each reading becomes easier and motivation goes up as students experience enhanced fluency thanks to repeat exposure to words and phrases. It can also help when it comes to developing comprehension skills as readers have more opportunities to notice contextual cues.]]> 2021-06-01 22:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577805793 Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process and is critical to reading comprehension. Children learn the meanings of most words indirectly, through everyday experiences with oral and written language. Other words are learned through carefully designed instruction. sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577812195 2021-06-01 23:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577812195 Strategy to reinforce vocabulary sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577813127 For weekly vocabulary instruction, work with students to choose three to five new words per week. Select words that students will use or see most often, or words related to other words they know. ]]> 2021-06-01 23:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577813127 Supports reading and writing sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577815583 Looking to work on integrated vocabulary with writing, specifically? Ask students to use their vocabulary words when writing. Whether you’re doing a journal, task cards, essay, or something creative, many of the words students are studying would be appropriate in their writing. If the words don’t seem like they would fit naturally in students’ work, it might be time to revisit the list.
Use word walls to highlight words students find while reading. Students can help to generate the lists! It’s simple. Ask them to skim the story for unfamiliar words. If you’re pressed for time, compile a list for them to choose from. With fiction, be sure to focus on words that will deepen their understanding of the character, conflict, setting, mood, plot, or theme. Informational text words are more powerful if they relate to the main idea or an important supporting detail in the text.]]> 2021-06-01 23:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577815583 Comprehension is the reason for reading. If readers can read the words but do not understand or connect to what they are reading, they are not really reading. Good readers are both purposeful and active, and have the skills to absorb what they read, analyze it, make sense of it, and make it their own. sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577824331 2021-06-01 23:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577824331 Strategy to reinforce comprehension sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577825197 The Text Structure Strategy (TSS) stems from research showing that the content of most texts is organized using a hierarchical structure. The information presented higher in the content structure of a text is connected to better recall than information presented lower in the content structure (Meyer, 1975). Meyer and colleagues found that the hierarchical structure of texts fit into one or a combination of two or more of five specific text structures:

  1. Comparison
  2. Cause and effect
  3. Problem and solution
  4. Sequence
  5. Description

Summarizing requires students to determine what is important in the text and then put it into their own words by retelling, verbally or in writing. Instruction in summarizing can help students become more purposeful as they read and more skillful in comprehending.]]> 2021-06-01 23:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577828203 sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577832566 2021-06-01 23:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577832566 sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577833518 2021-06-01 23:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577833518 sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577834683 2021-06-01 23:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577834683 sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577835899 2021-06-01 23:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577835899 sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577836879 2021-06-01 23:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577836879 sgorritz https://padlet.com/sgorritz/xnjwl3llrki6ztbd/wish/1577844281 https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED512569.pdf
