15. Phonics
Any phonics is better than no phonics.
Teaching a few phonics well is better than teaching many
phonics poorly. (beginning /ending/vowels/digraphs/blends)
Regular, Systematic and Explicit phonics instruction is more
effective than non-systematic phonics instruction.
Synthetic phonics is more effective than analytic phonics.
(NRP, Clackmannanshire, Rose Report, California)
Instructs students in how to relate letters and sounds
(grapheme / phoneme), how to break spoken words into
sounds and how to blend sounds to form words.
Give students many opportunities to apply what they are
learning about letters and sounds to the reading of words,
sentences, and paragraphs.
19. Fluency
1. The ability to read a text accurately and
quickly.
2. The ability to recognize words
automatically.
3. The ability to group words quickly to gain
meaning from reading.
4. Allows readers to focus attention on
what text means.

27. Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic
•
Motivation
Extrinsic Motivation
– External reasons for reading
• Told to read by the teacher
• Get good grades
*Less likely to continue activity outside of
original context independently.
28. Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Motivation
• Intrinsic Motivation
– Curiosity and desire to read for its own
sake.
• Genuine interest in reading.
• Desire for mastery.
• Enjoyment of challenge.
*Continuing motivation outside of the
original setting to read.
29. Motivation and Extensive Reading:
What can teachers do?
• Allow for student input and choice.
• Gear instructional activities to student
interest.
• Allow for interaction among students of
varying levels.
• Help students set specific, attainable
reading goals.
30. What can teachers do? (cont.)
• Give many opportunities to succeed at
challenging reading tasks.
• Help match challenge level of task to
student skill level.
• Plan higher level thinking (more complex)
activities as opposed to “standard
operations and procedures.”

53. Planning for Daily Intentional Teaching
• What do my students need to know?
• What strategies/knowledge help them as readers?
• In what way does this “strategy” look different across genre?
• How will I make this strategy or understanding clear to them?
• What language will I use?
• What texts/materials will best support this instruction?
• How can/will I connect this work to writing?
• How will I collect evidence that can help me determine how
well students have grasped this new understanding?
