Consonant blends or Consonant digraphs? Lynn Scotty
Consonant Digraphs are when 2 or more consonants are blended together to make one new sound. Consonant Blends are when 2 or more consonants are blended together with each sound heard.
Research shows that when phonics is taught in a structured way – starting with the easiest sounds and progressing through to the most complex – it is the most effective way of teaching young children to read. It is particularly helpful for children aged 5 to 7. Hence this presentation will help you in learning about phonics in early years
To a beginning reader, the act of reading can be a momentous task. Incorrectly taught, reading becomes a burdensome and arduous chore. Taught correctly, reading motivates the child to want to learn more.
In recent years, there has been much debate about how children should be taught to read. While the use of phonics has generally been advocated for this, the actual approach on how it should be used has been contentious. However, recent research carried out in the UK and elsewhere has shown that a method called systematic synthetic phonics (as opposed to other phonics approaches, such as analytical phonics) leads to better reading and spelling attainment among children.
These slides explain what synthetic phonics is and draw attention to some problems faced by non-native speakers when learning to read in English.

This is a compilation of the Key Reading and Vocabulary Skills Study Sheets from Book "Extending Reading Keys." Its use is solely for academic/educational purposes.
It deals with Phonetics and Phonology and its role in English language learning. The presentation was conducted in Lincoln Corner Faisalabad (administered by US consulate), in order to familiarize the students from diverse disciplines with the usage of Phonetics and Phonology in their 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.
A Balanced Literacy Program for Special EducationJoanne Cardullo
Special education students progress more rapidly when they participate in a literacy program that balances phonological awareness with comprehension. Reading with meaning is an educator's ultimate goal!

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Reading . . .
an extraordinary ability,
peculiarly human and yet
distinctly unnatural.
Dr. Sally Shaywitz, Overcoming Dyslexia, 2003
3. Literacy . . .
Begins at birth,
and
is a lifelong process!
4. Unfortunately,
Children are not born with this
insight, nor does it develop
naturally without instruction.
Reid Lyon, 1997, NICHD
5. In today’s world,
learning to read well is a key to the
future success of our children. Not
only is reading fluently and with
comprehension by third grade a
legislated priority, it is an ethical and
professional imperative.
(Wolfe and Nevills, 2004)
6. In fact,

15. Code it: Alphabetic Code
• Hear it Phonological: sound
• See it Print: symbol
• Associate it Sound/symbol
• Expand it Structural analysis
22. Phonological Awareness
• “Funnel – ogical” awareness
• Sensitivity to the sounds of language
– words, syllables, and sounds
• Includes phonemic awareness
• Necessary for understanding the
alphabetic principle and how sounds
match print
23. Phonological Awareness
• Word awareness
• Rhyming words
• Syllable awareness
• Alliteration
• Onset-rime
• Phonemic segmentation and blending
• Phonemic manipulation
24. Phonological Activities

rice trays
31. Phonics
“refers to instructional practices
that emphasize how spellings are
related to speech sounds in
systematic ways.”
(Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998)
32. What is the Alphabetic
Principle?
• the systematic and predictable
relationship between the letters of
written language and the sounds of
spoken language
• the way print matches speech
• the relationship between phonology
and orthography
• also known as the alphabetic code
33. Why learn the Alphabetic
Code?
• It provides the understanding for
the internal structure of words.
• It helps children recognize familiar
words and decode new words.
• It connects reading and writing.
• It enables children to read with
fluency and comprehension.
34. Phonics
• Synthetic Phonics • Structural Analysis
• Part to whole
• Root words,
• Analytic Phonics
prefixes & suffixes
• Whole to part
• Word families (rimes) • Compound words
• Vowel Patterns • Contractions

40. Vowel Patterns
Closed:
A word or syllable that contains only one vowel
followed by one or more consonants;
the vowel is short.
“One lonely vowel squished in the middle,
says its special sound just a little.”
sat bed fin top gum
sand best print shop lunch

41. Vowel Patterns
Open:
A word or syllable that ends with one
vowel; the vowel is long.
“If one vowel at the end is free, it
pops way up and says its name to me.”
me she hi go flu fly
42. Vowel Patterns
Silent e [Magic e]:
A word or syllable that ends in e, containing one
consonant before the final e and one vowel before
that consonant; the vowel is long.
“The magic e is quiet, but it has a claim to fame;
it makes the vowel before it say its real name.”
The magic e is so powerful, it gives all its strength
to the other vowel so that it can say its real
name.
make Steve ride hope cube
43. Vowel Patterns
Bossy r [r-controlled]:
A word or syllable containing a vowel followed by r;
the vowel sound is altered by the r.
The letter r is so bossy, it tells the vowel that it
can’t say its real name (long vowel) or its special
sound (short vowel), but must say the r sound (as
in car, for, her).
car her girl for curl
44. Vowel Patterns
Double Vowel Talkers: [vowel digraphs]
A word or syllable containing two adjacent
vowels; the first one is long.
“When two vowels go walking, the first one
does the talking and says its name.”
rain day see meat pie
boat toe slow suit blue
45. Vowel Patterns
Double Vowel Whiners :[diphthongs and variants]
A word or syllable that contains two adjacent
vowels; the vowels say neither a long or short
vowel sound, but rather a very different sound.
Sometimes when two vowels are next to each other,
they make a funny whining sound, like when you
fall down and say “ow,” “aw,” “oy,” and get a “boo-
boo.”
fault saw foil boy loud cow moon new book
46. Vowel Patterns
C+le: [consonant + le]
This syllable ends with “le” preceded by a
consonant, and occurs in two-syllable
words.
When a word ends with a consonant and “le,”
the “le” grabs the consonant before it, and
the word breaks into two parts right
before that consonant.
bub–ble ca–ble ea–gle poo–dle pur-ple
47. Vowel Pattern
“Prediction Power”
The prediction power of the patterns ranges from 77 to
89%, each of which is much better than predictions on
the basis of chance alone. Teaching children vowel
patterns can make a difference in their fluency and
comprehension (May, 2002).

48. Irregular / “Memory”
Words
• About 12 – 15% of English words do
not conform to the regular patterns
• Can be taught through context,
repetition, multisensory techniques,
and learning games, e.g., Word Wall
activities, VAAKT (associative word
cards), BINGO
49. Structural Analysis
• Root words and affixes
• Compound words
• Contractions
• Syllabication
50. Root Words and Affixes
Prefix Root Suffix
un friend ly
re heat ed
in spect or
• Color-highlight or draw a box around
affixes (prefix = green; suffix = red)
• Make charts for similar affixes
51. Compound Words
• Begin with whole word, e.g., doghouse
• Segment and blend
• Use fists, puzzles, linking blocks
• Make lists of compound words
• Use color-coding (doghouse)
• Practice deletion (say doghouse
without dog)
52. Contractions
• Compare “long” and “short” forms, e.g.,
do not (long – 2
words)
don’t (short – contraction)
• Highlight apostrophe (use elbow macaroni)
and deleted letter/s in red
• Use a rubberband to show long and
shortened forms (same meaning)
• Make lists of contractions from stories
53. Syllabication Patterns
• C+le turtle tur – tle
• VC/CV rabbit rab – bit
• V/CV tiger ti – ger
• VC/V camel cam – el
• V/V lion li - on
54. Strategy for Syllabication
• “Spot and dot” the vowels
• Connect the dots
• Look at the number of consonants between
the vowels
• If 2 – break between the consonants
• If 1 – break before the consonant; if it
doesn’t sound right, move over one letter
55. Apply and Transfer
• Provide many opportunities to use
these skills and strategies, both in
isolation and in connected text
– Fiction and non-fiction
– Poetry and songs
– Decodable text
– Learning games and activities
56. Why?
When students have the MEANS
to conquer the code,
they will reach the GOAL, and
master the meaning!
57. The End
Remember . . .
Teach a child to read,
Give a gift for life!!
Thank you for your
kind attention!
