7. 1.PHONEMIC AWARENESS

8. The awareness of the sounds (phonemes) that make up spoken words.

9. 1.PHONEMIC AWARENESS The awareness of the sounds (phonemes) that make up spoken words. The ability is not necessary for speaking and understanding spoken language.

10. 1.PHONEMIC AWARENESS The awareness of the sounds (phonemes) that make up spoken words. The ability is not necessary for speaking and understanding spoken language. It is important for learning to read!

11. WHAT IS A PHONEME?

12. A minimal sound unit of speech that, when contrasted with another phoneme, affects the meaning of words in a language. PHONEME= 1 SOUND!

15. THE PHONOLOGICAL UMBRELLA! Top of umbrella= Large units like words, syllables, and onset and rime Middle of umbrella= Phonemic Awareness Bottom of umbrella= Small units, isolate, identify, categorize, segment, blend Being Aware of Language!

16. WHY IS PHONEMIC AWARENESS IMPORTANT?

17. It is easier to segment syllables than it is to segment phonemes.

18. WHY IS PHONEMIC AWARENESS IMPORTANT? It is easier to segment syllables than it is to segment phonemes. There is a strong relationship between phonemic awareness and reading performance.

19. WHY IS PHONEMIC AWARENESS IMPORTANT? It is easier to segment syllables than it is to segment phonemes. There is a strong relationship between phonemic awareness and reading performance. Phonemic awareness predicts reading success better than age, socioeconomic status, and IQ.

29. 2. ALPHABETIC PRINCIPLE & BASIC PHONICS

30. The assumption that each speech sound should have its own distinctive graphic representation. 2. ALPHABETIC PRINCIPLE & BASIC PHONICS

31. WHY IS THE ALPHABETIC PRINCIPLE IMPORTANT?

32. It is the foundation of any alphabetic writing system.

33. WHY IS THE ALPHABETIC PRINCIPLE IMPORTANT? It is the foundation of any alphabetic writing system. It plays a critical role in beginning reading.

35. WHY IS THE ALPHABETIC PRINCIPLE IMPORTANT? It is the foundation of any alphabetic writing system. It plays a critical role in beginning reading. It is the foundation of learning to spell. Automaticity needs to be reached.

36. BASIC PHONICS

37. A way of teaching reading and spelling that stresses symbol- sound relationships, used especially in beginning instruction. BASIC PHONICS

38. HOW SHOULD PHONICS BE TAUGHT?

39. 1. Phonics should be taught systematically.

40. HOW SHOULD PHONICS BE TAUGHT? 1. Phonics should be taught systematically. 2. Skills should be taught in a planned sequence.

41. HOW SHOULD PHONICS BE TAUGHT? 1. Phonics should be taught systematically. 2. Skills should be taught in a planned sequence. 3.There needs to be a deliberate and sequential focus on building and using the relationship between sounds and letter symbols to help readers decode new words.

42. MODELING PHONICS INSTRUCTION

43. The best texts for modeling are high interest or informational.

44. MODELING PHONICS INSTRUCTION The best texts for modeling are high interest or informational. Independent practice helps readers build the connection between symbols and sounds.

45. MODELING PHONICS INSTRUCTION The best texts for modeling are high interest or informational. Independent practice helps readers build the connection between symbols and sounds. Phonics skills should then be applied to authentic reading and writing experiences to help develop good decoding skills.

46. 3. FLUENCY

47. The clear, easy, written or spoken expression of ideas.

48. 3. FLUENCY The clear, easy, written or spoken expression of ideas. Freedom from word identification problems.
