7. The Phonics Approach
This approach aims to consolidate children‟s
phonemic, phonological and morphological
awareness.
It involves working out sound/letter
correspondences to develop „word attack‟
skills.
It highlights the recognition of individual
sounds and sound blends so that words can
be „sounded out‟.
8. Phonics instruction
Initial Consonants – c, b, d etc.
Consonant blends - bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, br, cr,
dr, gr, pr, tr, st, sk
Consonant diagraphs - two consonants
which combine to make one sounds – ch, sh,
ph, th, gh,
Vowel Sounds – oo, ea, ee etc.
9. Think, Pair, Share!
“Children will find it more natural to start from
sounds and learn which letters make them,
since they are moving from experience with the
spoken language to the new words of written
letters and words.”
(McGuiness 1997 in Cameron, 2001, p.149)
Discuss the place of phonics instruction for
young Arabic EFL students.
10. Ideas for teaching Phonics
Sound of the week –set up a „b‟ Writing: forming the letter, make
table. Children bring in objects your own dictionary, write a story
about „Clever cat‟ using word charts
beginning with that sound.
and consonant boxes.
Feel the letter and say the sound -
using cutout sandpaper letters. Make an alphabet frieze.
‘Sound hats’ – wear the sound hat Sing songs with that sound, e.g.
Annie Apple says „a‟ in words.
and say a word that begins with that
letter.
Children highlight sounds on word
Phonic games: e.g. Sound Bingo, I cards.
spy, match the sound to the word
Making letters from playdoh.
Mini-booklets/flashcards with key
sound highlighted in colour– students
Art activities, e.g. printing „b‟ on
practice reading at home
blankets for baby bear‟s bed.
Read stories based on one sound,
Sorting toys into sound baskets.
e.g. „Bouncy Ben goes to the park‟.
12. The Look-Say Approach
Focuses on whole word recognition of the
most common words, such as „the‟, „he‟ and
„went‟ so that reading becomes automatic.
Emphasizes building up a sight vocabulary
of high frequency words
Sight words may be difficult to sound out and
are therefore learned by heart.
Develops lexical knowledge, i.e. that certain
words collocate or go together, e.g. at the
seaside.
13. Think, Pair, Share!
“Build up a sight vocabulary from classroom
labels, class-made books and wall stories,
the children’s own writing, and written
versions of songs and poems which are
already know already”.
(Gibbons, 1991, p.77)
Why do EFL Learners have difficulty learning lists
of isolated words?
14. Ideas for using the Look-Say
Approach
Word wall – including new words of the week
Word games e.g. pass the ball, when the music stops, choose a
high frequency word and read it.
Divide words into categories, e.g. colours, animal words. Ask
children questions like “Can you find your favourite animal?”
Snap, dominoes, word searches.
Use word cards – write a word on the front and a related
sentence on the back
Cut up known sentences into words, pairs reorder them.
16. 3. Choral Reading
Reading aloud together as a group/whole
class where students scaffold each others
reading.
It provides practice for students to read with
appropriate expression.
It develops confidence by giving every
student the chance to participate as a group.
19. Reading Aloud
“Read-alouds are absolute musts! Different
than shared reading, they allow children to
simply sit back and hear the flow and
rhythm and magic of good literature
without having to struggle with the text
themselves” (Combs,1996, p.144).
Through read-alouds, EFL children are
provided a „model of what skilled oral reading
sounds like‟.
20. The Fish who had a Wish
Using the story ‘The fish who had a wish’,
take turns reading aloud.
Try to:
•Encourage active listening
•Connect the illustrations as you read
•Read with expression
•Encourage prediction
•Follow with discussion
22. Shared Reading is…
An enjoyable, co-operative, interactive
reading activity based on the bedtime story
experience. Ideally the text is a big book
version.
Shared reading can be conducted as a whole
class, in groups or in pairs.
23. Holdaway’s Methodology

30. Reader’s Theatre
Reading and dramatizing a script from a
story, “an excellent activity for beginning
second language readers ..” (Peregoy and
Boyle, 253)
31. It’s time to act!
Using the text of „Little Red Riding hood‟, in
groups, act out the dialogue.
33. Sustained Silent Reading
An independent reading time set aside during
the school day for students to silently read
self-selected books.
Also know as „Drop everything and read‟
(DEAR); „Our time to enjoy reading‟
(OTTER); „Read in bed, it‟s terrific‟(RIBIT)
34. Think, pair, share!
How can EFL teachers develop Sustained
Silent Reading in government schools?
36. The language Experience
Approach
This approach is based on oral accounts of
the students‟ experiences, which are written
down by the teacher (Shared writing).
Students are then encouraged to read the
story.
Individual words and vocabulary are
discussed and learned.
37. Methodology 1 - Whole class
The teacher scribes an interesting event
dictated by one or more student and writes it
on the board to build up a text e.g. „I went to
the doctor yesterday‟/We went on a trip to…
38. ‘Breakthrough to Literacy’ –
Methodology 2- Individual/Group
A commercial version widely used with children in Britain for first
language literacy and South Africa for first and second
languages.
Children compose sentences, with their teacher, from a set of
word cards.
They physically move the word cards by pacing them into a
plastic tray to make the sentence and placing a full stop at the
end.
The sentence is then read back to the teacher.
The child copies it down in his/her book.
Gradually, the child builds up a collection of words that are
known and moves to making several sentences.
Once the sight vocabulary is established, small books are
introduced.
(Cameron, p.147)
39. Key features for the EFL
classroom
Stories are personal, meaningful and culture-specific –it‟s their own
words
Children are reading and writing at the „sentence level‟.
Children and teacher together compose sentences.
Print conventions and punctuation is taught from the start e.g.
directionality of print, spaces between words, capital letters and full
stops.
Words can have a physical reality, as the child moves words and puts
them together to make a sentence.
The integration of speaking, writing and reading helps children to see
how texts are composed.
(Cameron, p. 147)
40. Applicability to the EFL
classroom
“The most meaningful words for children are likely to
be those they use in their own spoken and written
language” (Gibbons, P. 1993, p.81).
In light of the above quote, in groups, evaluate the
1.
potential effectiveness of the Language
Experience Approach in teaching reading in a
foreign or second language.
Brainstorm how would you deal with challenges of
2.
time, large classes, mixed ability levels and
classroom management when implementing this
approach?
42. Guided Reading aims to…
“Teach the skills and strategies that successful
readers need using an organized program that
includes grade-level reading selections, workbook
practice, assignments and frequent testing”
(Tompkins, G. 2006).
44. Application to an EFL setting
In groups, discuss the applicability of a Graded
Reading Program to an EFL setting.
Consider:
Implementation of a core reading scheme
Bottom-up approaches
Cultural, contextual and political considerations
Time constraints
Accessibility of materials/using alternative resources
The Eclectic Approach to reading
45. Ways to manage graded
reading programs
Set aside a weekly reading time
Devise ability groups
Engage in guided reading with groups of children,
rather than individually
Change books regularly
Have book discussions/shares
Devise an informal record system.
Integrate with other approaches, e.g. independent
reading.
Involve parents – notes, workshops.
46. Graduate Perspective
“I believe that guided reading is a great way
to develop students reading and can help
them be good readers. Teachers with good
preparation, materials and enough time to
apply the strategy shouldn‟t have problems
applying the strategy”.
Al Sada, M., (2008)Email correspondence
47. Graduate Perspective
“However, this strategy might be bit
unrealistic to be used in government schools,
where teachers have to complete and cover a
whole new curriculum which focuses on other
things, for example, grammar, phonics,
writing and vocabulary”.
Al Sada, M., (2008) Email correspondence
48. Strengths
Textbooks are aligned with grade-level standards.
Teachers teach strategies and skills in a sequential
program.
Students learn how to read by practicing phonic and
word identification skills.
Vocabulary is controlled.
Supports differentiation.
The teacher‟s guide provides ideas on teaching
reading.
Assessment materials are included.
49. Limitations
Books may be too difficult for some EFL
students and too easy for others.
Written in stilted and unnatural language -
may lack the authenticity of good literature.
Vocabulary is controlled.
Many workbook assignments included.
Main focus is on skills, i.e. phonics, word
recognition, rather than on fluency.

Be a model of good practice
Use the „Think Aloud‟ technique
Make college learning realistic, contextualized and
meaningful
Connect to the ADEC strands and indicators
Engage student teachers in systematic microteaching
Engage student teachers in problem-based learning
Connect to their previous learning experiences
Scaffold experiences through assisted performance,
guided participation and collaboration

adopt a balanced approach that
incorporates bottom-up, top-down and
interactive approaches.
What are the practical implications of applying this in an
EFL classroom?
How can the teacher educator influence student
teachers‟ beliefs, knowledge and practices?

Referred to as the reading wars – a clash between two beliefs systems e.g. skills based and whole language (holistic approach to teaching reading).Often it is a subconscious process that is focilized based on our previous learning experiences, known as the apprenticeship of observation (lortie). Schemata reflects prior knowledge, experiences, concleptual understandings, attitudes, values, skills, personality, ability to accommodate new approaches. Schema describes how we organize our thoughts and construct meaning. Different beliefs, different instructional decisions. The rest of this presentation will discuss the different instructional approaches to EFL reading that we can present to student teachers. Once student teachers have the knowledge of different approaches, then then combine these with their beliefs about reading to adapt instructionThe bottom-up model emphasizes reading as decoding from letter/sound, to word, to sentence, to paragraph, to text. Reading schemes follow a step by step bottom up model of reading that focus on phonics and sight words. They also recycle and add to this vocabulary from level to level.The top-down model emphasizes comprehension of larger chunks of meaning. Meaning is deduced from context. The reader scans the text based on previous knowledge (schemata), focuses on graphic information (print) and also uses syntactic, semantic and phonological input from his own mind to make predictions about the text. The whole language approach is an example of a top-down approach to reading.EFL readers may not recognize key words, may not have schemata to predict and therefore rely more on graphophonic information, deal with text as it comes, need a context to aid understanding, May not recognize a miscue and may be unable to correct itInteractionist Model: Reading is viewed as an interaction between the text, the reader and the context and prior knowledge. It merges bottomup and top down, focusing on both meaning and phonics.I could give another presentation on this but today am going to focus on more practical applications of approaches to reading in an EFL context.Phonics and skills based approaches – bottom-up beliefs about reading; a whole language orientation is associated with top-down beliefs. A teacher who enacts a phonics curriculum is likely to hold different beliefs than one who enacts a whole language curriculum.
Looking at your cards, which level do you think this approach is at? Which theory does it support?
Children may add to shared writing by adding a few extra lines themselves. Acquiring a reading vocabulary that is “personally meaningful and immediately useful” (Dixon & Nessel, 1983).
Sentence level? Extra slides for your reference.
Changing curriculum – ADEC indicators too broad, first language focus, genre based approach to writing as children have difficulty writing; extensive writing; phonics based approach to reading. PPP/Model schools doing this.
Theories - approaches – strategies towards freerer readingAdd theories in Diagram p.45 MariaDepending on your reading orientation, you will support different theories of reading: bottom-up; top-down or interactive. However, in the EFL classroom, you will probably need a combination of all types as each one has its advantages. Will need to develop word attack skills; using contextual clues to get meaning; picture cues; high frequency words. The mechanics of reading.Also depending on your reading orientation, students will develop at the word, sentence and text levels.
Using formal reading records may be unrealistic.
So I think it differs from a situation to another. Being a teacher in a flexible school where they are open minded to try and apply different strategies guided reading will work for them. Schools which are very restrict to traditional teaching and covering curriculums will not gain the results. Moreover , trying the strategy for more than once and setting it as part of the routine for example applying it once a week for a whole semester will gain results more than applying it for two or three times.
Example: www.readinga-z.comReading A-Z is a complete online guided reading program with downloadable leveled books, lesson plans, worksheets, and reading assessments. The scheme aims to teach guided reading, phonics, phonemic awareness, reading comprehension, reading fluency, alphabet, and vocabulary.
If how we teach is as important as what we teach, then its important to be a model of good practice. Try to practice what you preach. The curriculum will be changing, rather than complain about it, encourage student teachers to embrace new policies and curricula, giving them experience to adapt, become life long learners and critical thinkers. Give them scenarios. Korthagen’s realistic model of teacher education. Seen primarily as the inculcation of knowledge and skills, the potentially powerful effects of teacher educators’ teaching styles on student teachers’ practices have mostly remained unrecognized and unexamined to date, (Korthagen et al, 2001, Kane, 2002; Russell, 2001; Lunenberg et al, 2007), let alone in an Arabic context (McNally et al, 2002;Taha-Thomure, 2003). engage student teachers in different contexts of teaching, including those that are sheltered and involve limited risk, like micro-teaching or guided practice or those involving monitored apprenticeships or team teaching in the school environment (Fosnot, 1989; Freeman, 1989). Other contexts may challenge previous conceptions of teaching and learning, as in problem-based learning. Through the interaction, reflection and critical thinking involved in problem-based learning, students actively resolve complex problems in realistic teaching situations. Bruner (1986) and Vygotsky (1978) Vygotskian approach to teacher education is one of ‘assisted performance’ (Bodrova & Leong, 1996). As highlighted in section 1.2.1, the area between “maximally assisted performance and independent performance lies varying degrees of partially assisted performance” (Bodrova & Leong, 1996, p.35), is known as the zone of Proximal development (ZPD). Based on a small body of available literature, four forms of modeling were identified by Lunenberg et al (2007, p.597) as potentially shaping student teachers’ beliefs and practices, despite contextual differences between universities and schools: implicit modeling of attitudes; explicit modeling; explicit modeling and transfer to student teachers’ own teaching practices; connecting exemplary behavior with theory. The teacher educator may discuss his/her thinking behind the lesson, using the example lesson as an opportunity to connect the approach back to theory or to expose the underlying rationale using the ‘think aloud approach’ (Loughran, 1996). However, Lunenberg et al (2007) state, that student teachers often don not extensively learn from the examples of their teacher educators, because they do not recognize those examples. However, if student teachers are invited backstage (Grossman, 1991) as in the concept of cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown & Holum, 1991) in which they can dissect, discuss and reflect on the meaning of this modeling and how it can scaffold their own teaching practices, then student teachers may be better able to recognize those examples and shape their own practices accordingly. Drawing on Rogoff; Bodrova and Leong,Vygotsky, Bruner. Meaningful collaborative activities that engage, extend student teachers, challenge and acknowledge. Reflect on their values and respect them e.g. if a teacher values order, the their classroom will probably be orderly.
Examine the pamplet, in pairs. Teachers in schools say – great ideas but without resources, difficult to implement approaches or it takes a year to order resources. I have put together a list of some publishers, suppliers of literacy resources in the Middle East, Conferences, foundations and libraries. What could you ask student teachers to do with this pamplet?
Two sides of the room. EFL students need a combination of reading approaches to help them develop as competent readers.Principled eclectic instruction allows teachers to use approaches and strategies that are associated with different curricular perspectives.
Looking at your cards, which level do you think this approach is at? Which theory does it support? This is at the sound/letter level aiming to move towards words.Which level – sound, word, sentence, text?
Published phonics programmes include: Jolly phonics (It teaches the letter sounds in an enjoyable, multisensory way, and enables children to use them to read and write words; learning the irregular or 'tricky words' such as said, was and the. Together with these materials you should also use storybooks; Learning the letter sounds 2. Learning letter formation 3. Blending 4. Identifying sounds in words 5. Spelling the tricky words ), Each sound has an action which helps children remember the letter(s) that represent it. As a child progresses you can point to the letters and see how quickly they can do the action and say the sound. One letter sound can be taught each day. As a child becomes more confident, the actions are no longer necessary. Children should learn each letter by its sound, not its name.Letterland: relate sounds to characters, accompanying stories, adventures, hats. Friendly letter characters provide strong visual memory clues (or mnemonics) so your children learn and retain phoneme/grapheme correspondences Daily blending and segmenting activities make word-building fast and effective Focused multi-sensory activities appeal to all learners and activate all learning channels.teacher's guides, readers, software, posters and audio CDs.Phonographix, an American programme (Drill and practice programme, segmenting and blending sound pictures) all teach the above in different order, using different methods.
