This document provides an overview of effective phonics instruction strategies. It discusses how phonics instruction helps children understand the relationship between letters and sounds. It recommends that instruction be explicit, systematic, teach the most common letters and sounds first, introduce a few at a time, and ensure students understand how to use letter sounds to read words. The document also emphasizes providing opportunities for students to apply their phonics knowledge through reading decodable text and considering students' needs when selecting texts. It suggests teaching phonics in small groups or one-on-one and scaffolding instruction to meet students' individual needs.
Language is a code that carries out communication functions through both receptive comprehension and expressive production. Oral and written language are closely related, and early exposure to their functions and uses is important for literacy development. Language has three main components - content which includes meanings and concepts, form which includes structure and rules of phonology, morphology and syntax, and use which refers to the purposes and functions of communication.
Early literacy plays an important role to perform better in school. As a teacher, it is our responsibility to help our children to develop effective literacy skills. In this session, we will explore effective ways to facilitate children who will learn to read and read to learn.
This document provides guidance for teachers on developing students' reading and writing skills in English.

The Three R's of Phonics Instruction: Relationships, Relevance, and ResultsReading Horizons
This engaging Webinar will address:
The relationship of phonics to phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
The relevance of phonics instruction for developing readers, accelerated readers, and struggling readers.
How to get results through practical strategies for providing each learner with instructional support and adequate opportunities for application and practice.
This document discusses and compares the communicative approach and grammar translation method for teaching literacy.
The communicative approach, developed in the 1970s, focuses on using written, verbal and non-verbal communication through choices, creativity and group-based dialogue. It excludes the first language and prioritizes meaning over strict grammar forms. In contrast, the grammar translation method uses direct translation between the first and target languages and prioritizes important grammar forms over meaning.
The author argues that the communicative approach is more favorable for acquisition and careers that require cooperation, customer service and dialogue. Strict grammar lessons can stunt listening and speaking abilities, while communication creates a better learning environment, especially with today's technology and media.
Phonics instruction teaches students the relationship between sounds and letters. It involves teaching students letter sounds, common spelling patterns, and having students practice decoding words. Effective phonics instruction is systematic, explicit, introduced early, and improves students' reading comprehension, word recognition, and spelling. It benefits all students, including those struggling with reading or at risk for difficulties.
Students with dyslexia often face challenges with language, reading, and written language. Some common language challenges include difficulties with pronunciation, vocabulary, and receptive language skills. Reading challenges can include problems with phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and recognizing sight words. Written language struggles may involve planning, expressing ideas, spelling, proofreading, handwriting, and formatting. These individuals also frequently have issues with rapid naming, memory, distractibility, and inconsistent school performance.

--The relevancy of teaching phonics to ELLs.
--Specific English language skills that ELLs gain.
--Reasons for teaching phonics to ELLs of various levels.
The document discusses the importance of early reading skills like phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness involves understanding that spoken words are made up of individual sounds. It is an important precursor to learning letters and reading. Effective phonemic awareness instruction should involve modeling sounds, using games to blend and segment sounds, and progressing from larger to smaller linguistic units. Assessments like DIBELS can track students' phonemic awareness skills and progress. Interventions should explicitly teach sounds at the phoneme level and integrate phonological awareness with letter knowledge.
This document provides guidance for assessing students' understanding of how spoken language adapts based on context. It outlines the assessment criteria for bands 3 through 5, with the highest band (5) requiring a "perceptive understanding" of how language changes according to situation as well as how speakers' language choices can influence others. Examples are used to support responses at each band level.
The document discusses key concepts about language including definitions, the nature and attributes of language, and strategies for effective oral language. It defines language as a system of symbols used to convey thought from one person to another. It also discusses that language is dynamic, words have multiple meanings, and meanings exist in people's minds rather than in words themselves. Language is influenced by culture and time. Effective oral language should be clear, direct, appropriate for the audience and occasion, and vivid through the use of imagery.
The document outlines the five essential components of reading: phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension. It provides a brief definition and examples of how each component is developed and applied when reading. Phonics involves connecting sounds to letters, phonemic awareness focuses on the sounds within words, vocabulary is understanding the words, fluency is reading with speed and expression, and comprehension integrates all the components to derive meaning from text. Developing skills in all five areas is necessary for children to become successful readers.
1. Systematic phonics instruction teaches the relationship between letters and sounds and how to blend sounds to read words. It has been shown to significantly improve reading ability for students in kindergarten through 1st grade.
2. Good phonics instruction develops an understanding of the alphabetic principle, phonological awareness, letter knowledge, and automatic word recognition as part of a balanced reading program.
3. The National Reading Panel found that systematic phonics instruction improves decoding, spelling, and reading comprehension for students of all backgrounds and prevents reading difficulties.
This document discusses pragmatic development and communicative competence, focusing on speech acts such as requests, the importance of context, and how children can improve their communication skills. It covers topics like linguistic vs. communicative competence, indirect vs. direct requests, the role of status and culture in language use, challenges preschoolers face, and strategies like modeling and reinforcement to help children communicate more effectively.
This document describes a phonics seminar called "Phonics Olympics" that uses games and activities inspired by the Olympics to teach phonics skills in a fun and motivating way. The seminar leader will lead various phonics-based games and activities like "alliteration relay" and "sound hopscotch" that get students moving and practicing phonics. The document provides background research on the importance of phonics instruction and motivating students. It also includes details on the theoretical basis, specific events/games, assessments, and references to support the phonics Olympics approach.
The document defines key terms in English Language Arts (ELAR) education from A to Z. Each letter defines a term, such as "A is for Automaticity", which is defined as the ability to read words quickly without pausing. Other terms defined include brainstorming, choral reading, drafting, editing, and high frequency words. The document provides concise definitions of foundational ELAR concepts in a alphabetical list format.
This document discusses factors that affect students' listening comprehension. It identifies internal factors like language proficiency, background knowledge, motivation, and psychological factors. External factors include the speaker's delivery, accents, content and context of listening materials. To improve listening comprehension, the document recommends teaching pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, inference skills, prediction, and note-taking.
This document provides an overview of oral language development for pre-K students. It discusses how oral language is the foundation for literacy, and how building children's oral language skills through experiences will improve their reading abilities. It also describes the importance of language for communication and thinking, and outlines strategies for developing children's receptive language through listening, and expressive language through purposeful talk, rhyming, and alliteration activities. The document emphasizes that oral language development should be integrated throughout the pre-K day, including during centers, conversations, transitions, and songs.
The document discusses the importance of oral language development and its connection to literacy. It covers stages of language development from infancy through elementary school age and conditions that support language learning. Additionally, it addresses components of reading development including phonemic awareness, phonics, sight words, fluency, and comprehension.

Try a Reader's Theater in Class
In order to read fluently, students must first hear and understand what fluent reading sounds like. From there, they will be more likely to transfer those experiences into their own reading. Repeated readings as a way to help students recognize high-frequency words more easily, thereby strengthening their ease of reading. Having students practice readin ...
This document outlines a phonemic awareness and spelling workshop for Sacred Heart school. It discusses the need for the workshop based on NAPLAN results, teacher observations, and concerns from upper primary teachers. It provides background on the importance of oral language, phonics, and phonemic awareness for spelling. It then describes the Sound Waves program that will be used, focusing on individual sounds and letter options each week, and how students will be supported in small groups.
1) The document discusses theories of language development including behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist theories. It also outlines the key components of language including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
2) Assessment strategies for language skills are described including both formal standardized tests and informal methods like analyzing speech samples. Strategies to support language development in students with various disabilities or learning needs are also provided.

This document discusses several theories and concepts related to beginning reading instruction. It describes the bottom-up theory which emphasizes mastering basic phonics and phonemic awareness skills before reading words. The whole language/psycholinguistic theory takes a top-down approach and focuses on authentic texts. Schema theory builds on background knowledge to aid reading. Metacognitive theory teaches reading strategies to increase awareness. Finally, it identifies five key early literacy skills that affect reading performance: phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Strategies and skills during shared reading for eslmreiss50
Shared Reading is an effective way to teach ESL students reading strategies. This presentation describes ways to make shared reading a valuable tool in teaching reading to ESL students.
The document discusses three main approaches to teaching reading:
1. The Language Experience Approach (LEA) uses students' own words and experiences to create reading material. It helps develop language skills.
2. The Phonics Approach teaches the relationship between letters and sounds. It helps students recognize familiar words and decode new words.
3. The Sight Word Approach teaches high frequency words that are recognized instantly without sounding out. It provides a base for beginning reading.
Each approach has different activities to practice skills like matching pictures, word/letter hunts, blending sounds, and integrating language skills through poems. Videos and songs can also be used in phonics instruction.
