Important notes for Newcomers Reading must be contextualized in known oral language and integrated across subjects and activities Thematic vocabulary Phonics based in known oral language Simultaneously build oral language through reading Listening to stories read aloud Read alouds / interactive reading Listening centers Computer programs like RAZ-kids Shared reading opportunities Remember: reading starts at the word level! Phonological Loop: “After a word is heard or read, a phonological image is formed. The loop allows for the retention of the phonological image for short periods of time in short-term memory…In reading, the graphs on the page are matched to graphemes in our head and these, in turn, are matched to phonological image of the phonemes associated with the graphemes” (Birch, 2007, p. 151)
