Editor's Notes
- Yes, its complex! Yes, some children struggle to learn it! Yes, we need to be diligent in our efforts to help
- According to the National Reading Panel Report (2000), there is strong research evidence to show that there are 5 essential components needed for a strong reading program in word recognition. These include phonemic awareness (our topic for today), phonics (the sound-spelling system), fluency (being automatic in recognition and reading), vocabulary (how many words and their meanings do you know), and comprehension (meaning and understand of what has been read). All of these components work together to create a skilled reader. This series will focus on each of these components. Paraprofessionals, when supporting students in reading, must have an understanding of these skills in order to offer corrective feedback, direction, and practice to students. As with all of our work as paraprofessionals, your role is not to offer initial instruction, but to support what the teacher has already taught.
- If you have students within the early grades, you may have experience around the topic. As we walk through this warm up activity, notice that there are no letters connected to these, just sounds. Trainer: Ask the following questions/pause/then give them the answer in parentheses. Do these words rhyme? boat, goat? (yes) Clap the parts in the word rainbow. (rain-bow) 2 claps What is the beginning sound you hear in the word should? (/sh/) What are all the sounds you hear in the word dog? (/d/ /o/ /g/) Anecdote: A student is asked this question. What are all the sounds in the word ‘dog’ and replies..”bark, bark, grrrrr!” I am going to say some separate sounds. Blend them together to make a word. /m/ /i/ /s/ (Mice) How did you do? All of these activities are focused on phonology In y our sessions today, you will learn about tapping sounds and segmenting sounds. The importance of doing that is
- We usually don’t think about how many sounds are in words. But we must do so in order to spell and read. Therefore, in the early grades, we teach students to recognize those individual sounds in words through segmenting them and blending them. So, how many sounds are in the English language anyway? Take a guess! 44 Ok, of those 44, how many of those sounds are vowel sounds? Are you thinking, that’s an easy one, a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y. 6! Nope, 18! Let’s check this answer. What is the vowel sound you hear in the word “book” /oo/ is that a, e, I, o, u, and sometimes y? /oo/ is a vowel sound! OK, how about the vowel sound you hear in the word “ouch”. /ou/ Yes, /ou/ is that a, e, I, o, u or sometimes y.
- How many sounds are there in the word fish? /f/ /i/ /sh/. Three. There are 3 sounds in the word fish. However, how many letters are in the word fish? Four. There are four letters that spell the word fish. When working with students on phonemic awareness, we want to be clear that we are talking about sounds and not letters. As we see in this example, words can have more letter than sounds in then. Also, word can have more sounds than letters. We’ll see an example of a word that has more sounds than letters in just a few minutes.
- These are the spellings of the /sh/ sound. Though you probably could get pretty close to the reading of these words, some of these might be tough to spell. Often spellings of words come from different languages (schnitzel/German); prosciutto/Italian; moustache/French) Each of the spellings are influenced by several things.
- There is both a rhyme and a reason for who words are spelled the way they are. Some words are not spelled the way we would expect them to be spelled. These are called Red Words. In today’s sessions 3 of the interventionists will show you a series of steps that can be taken to help you help your student with words that have uncommon or unexpected spellings. Some rules your student is learning to help with spelling are… FSZL or Floss Rule

- Children who have struggled with acquiring the basic skills in reading and spelling have a high-risk of also having trouble with big or many syllabled words. At about third/fourth grade, your student should have established all of the basic phonics (spelling) skills. With that, it is important that these skills be advanced to enable a student to read “big” words that are found in math, science, social studies, health and other content area courses.
