- 3. The Reading Pyramid Phonemic Awareness Thefirst foundational skill to reading mastery is understanding of phonemes, the individual sounds that make up each word.
- 4. Mastering Phonemic Awareness • Forthose who struggle with phonemic awareness, an explicit, systematic instructional approach is needed. Assessment • Simple Assessment can be administered to help parents determine where their child struggles. • Some assessment are administered by a professional who may be able to diagnose your child with a specific disorder.
- 5. The Reading Pyramid Phonics/Decoding Phonics teachesthe relationship between the individual sounds in spoken language and letters – or letter combinations – in written language.
- 6. The Importance ofDeveloping Phonics Skills • For a majority of children, phonics skills will come easily and without much thought, but a fair number of children (30%) will struggle to understand phonics. • We all benefit from learning phonics and knowing how to properly decode and encode words, but for that 30%, explicit, systematic instruction in phonics/decoding/encoding is indispensable for understanding the code
- 7. For Those WhoStruggle • Learning who struggles with reading, almost always have deficiency in the first 2 components of the reading pyramid (phonemic awareness or phonics). • It is important to know whether that deficiency is due to a reading disorder. • Nearly all reading disorders affect the ability to process information on the explicit units of language.
- 8. Laying the Foundationof Strong Literacy Skills • It is so important to build a strong foundation in the explicit units of language and to build it correctly. • If they are presented in a correct manner, no learner should have to struggle with reading. • If you are a parent who wants to ensure your child has the foundational skills necessary for becoming a successful reader, learn about effective reading strategies and begin to apply them in your home.
- 9. The Reading Pyramid Fluency A fluentreader is no longer decoding, but quickly recognizing words and attaching meaning.
- 10. Fluency: The Artof Speedy Decoding • Reading fluency can be defined as the ability to automatically and correctly decode words, whether through silent reading or reading aloud with correct pronunciation of words and full articulation of sentences.
- 11. Reading Fluency forthe Struggling Reader • A key component of building fluency is exposing the learner to more and more literature. • For someone with a processing disorder, new words and context are difficult and need to be broken down into smaller, more manageable parts before the learner can fluently read through a passage.
- 12. The Reading Pyramid Vocabulary Vocabulary meansunderstanding the individual words we read. The process of growing this reading component us always ongoing.
- 13. The Process ofVocabulary Building • Vocabulary is the fourth step in the reading pyramid, BUT that doesn’t mean that learning to understand the meaning of words only happens late in the process. • Building vocabulary begins from the first day we can actively listen to language. • Listening vocabulary is only one of the four types of vocabulary we build. The other three are speaking, reading, and writing vocabulary.
- 14. The Process ofVocabulary Building • As we become phonemically aware we start our speaking vocabulary. • Building a reading vocabulary and a writing vocabulary, is a little more complex. • To take reading and writing vocabularies beyond memorization level, we will need to have good understanding of phonics and decoding skills and be able to fluently
- 15. The Process ofVocabulary Building • When a learner has obtained a strong understanding of the foundational components of reading, and can fluently apply them, he has everything needed to build an ever- growing vocabulary.
- 16. Hall Vocabulary for Struggling Readers •30% of learners who struggle with reading consistently plateau in reading ability at about a fourth to sixth-grade reading level. (Dr. Jeanne Chall – Harvard University). • The reason that the levelling off happens to those who struggle with reading is because these learners are unable to fluently decode large, multi-syllabic words.
- 17. Hall Vocabulary for Struggling Readers •Once a learner is able to master the more fundamental components of reading, the fourth to sixth-grade plateau disappears, and learners are able to reach a high level of vocabulary and comprehension.
- 18. The Reading Pyramid Comprehension Great readersthink about what is happening in a story and share the emotional journey of the characters. This is the ultimate goal for your young reader.
- 19. Comprehension: Creating Value FromText • Reading comprehension is the ability to understand what we read. It is the component that allows us to get value from text, and it is the ultimate goal of reading mastery. • Comprehension sits at the top of the pyramid because we need a full understanding of the more foundational skills of reading if we are to gain meaning from what we read and deeply
- 20. The Depth ofComprehension • Strategies to Build Comprehension: • Teaching concept of print • Asking questions about the words and text being read • Helping a learner predict what will happen next in a story • Providing reading materials that approximates a learner’s reading level.
- 21. The Depth ofComprehension • As a learner applies simple comprehension strategies and gains a strong understanding of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary, comprehension comes naturally and at deep levels.
- 22. The Power ofa Question • Asking questions and teaching a learner to ask questions are powerful tools that should be used from the very beginning of literacy instruction. • Questioning should become an active way that you help your learner understand what is being taught.
- 23. The Power ofa Question • Ask questions that help the learner: • Identify what something is or what is happening. • Relate to what is being learned. • Predict what will happen next. • Encourage your child to ask these types of questions continually and consistently. Help them to recognize the power of asking teacher’s questions as well as asking oneself questions.
- 24. Struggles with Comprehension • Ifa learner is struggling to comprehend what he/she is reading, it is likely that he or she has a deficit in one or more of the foundational skills. • If you have a child who is struggling with comprehension, make sure your child has been fully and explicitly taught the foundational components of reading before focusing solely on comprehension- building strategies.
