This document discusses sight words and word recognition in reading. It begins by defining sight words as words that can be read automatically from memory without decoding. It then discusses different lists of common sight words, including the Dolch word list and Fry's 1000 Instant Words list. The document also covers ways to assess sight word reading and models of word recognition. It provides guidelines for teaching word identification strategies as part of reading instruction. Overall, the document provides an overview of research and best practices regarding sight words and developing word recognition skills in early readers.
This document discusses phonological awareness and its importance for reading success. Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken words, while phonemic awareness is a sub-skill focusing on the smallest units of sound. The document outlines a phonological awareness continuum from broader skills like rhyming to finer skills like manipulating individual phonemes. It emphasizes that phonemic awareness is the strongest predictor of reading success and discusses teaching phonological awareness explicitly through activities targeting different sound levels.
The document is a presentation about phonological and phonemic awareness given by two speech language pathologists. It discusses the importance of phonological awareness skills for reading development. It defines phonological awareness as understanding how oral language can be divided into smaller units like words, syllables, onsets/rimes, and individual phonemes. Phonemic awareness is the ability to segment and manipulate individual sounds in words. The presentation provides strategies to develop these skills, such as rhyming activities, syllable segmentation, initial/final sound identification, and blending/segmenting of phonemes.
Remedial reading programs should use research-based methods implemented consistently by well-trained teachers. Instruction should start simply and gradually increase in complexity, with modeling, guided practice, and independent work. Reading difficulties can be diagnosed through evaluating comprehension, phonics, and other skills to identify strengths and weaknesses. Common causes of problems include inadequate instruction, lack of materials, large class sizes, and lack of reading interest.
The document discusses characteristics and goals of beginning readers in kindergarten and early first grade. Beginning readers know less than half the alphabet, have little phonemic awareness, and can recognize a few sight words. They are working on using pictures and context clues to predict words, discussing story elements, and establishing reading habits like predicting words while maintaining meaning. Goals include following directionality, matching voice to print, recognizing 10 sight words, and distinguishing beginning and ending sounds. The document provides tips for parents and teachers to support beginning readers.
This document presents the K-12 English curriculum guide for the Philippines Department of Education. It discusses the philosophy, principles, and outcomes of the English language curriculum. The curriculum is designed to develop students' communicative competence and literacy skills through engaging with various texts and multimedia. It recognizes that today's students, known as Generation Z, are digital natives who are highly technology-savvy but may have reduced attention spans due to multi-tasking. The goal is to produce graduates who can effectively communicate, continue learning, and succeed in their chosen fields using English language skills.
Word recognition refers to the ability to identify, read, and understand the meaning of words. It is a foundational reading skill that involves recognizing printed symbols and associating meaning with words. There are several strategies for developing word recognition skills, including using word families, phonics analysis, looking at word structure, and considering context clues. Mastering word recognition is important for struggling readers as it allows them to focus on comprehension rather than decoding individual words.
The document discusses the Language Experience Approach (LEA), a teaching method that uses students' own words and experiences to help develop reading and writing skills. It involves students dictating a story about a personal experience, which the teacher writes down. Students then read the story repeatedly. This helps reading comprehension as students are reading self-generated material. The LEA supports vocabulary growth and provides opportunities for meaningful reading and writing activities linked to students' own experiences and oral language.

Reading intervention programs aim to prevent or address reading failure by targeting students' specific needs. Effective interventions identify whether a student struggles with decoding, fluency, comprehension, or vocabulary and provide instruction tailored to their phase of learning. The response to intervention model uses increasingly intensive tiers of support. Tier 1 involves core instruction, Tier 2 adds more time and intensity, and Tier 3 provides individualized intervention. Successful programs explicitly teach phonics, include reading with comprehension, and can be implemented in small groups or by paraprofessionals especially in early grades. Evaluating programs ensures they adapt to student needs and include alphabetic knowledge, phonemic awareness, vocabulary and text reading.
1) The document provides a detailed lesson plan for a Grade 10 English class focusing on distinguishing facts from opinions through analytical listening.
2) Key learning activities include defining facts and opinions, presenting examples, discussing guidelines for analytical listening, and having students practice identifying facts and opinions in statements.
3) Students are evaluated on their ability to accurately identify facts and opinions in statements based on a passage about Rizal Park in the Philippines.
This document discusses reading fluency and effective classroom practices for developing fluency. It notes that fluency is an important but often neglected component of reading skill. Two key methods for developing fluency are student reading with feedback and self-selected independent reading. The document outlines the teacher's role in guided oral reading, shared reading, and other interactive activities. It also examines research on effective fluency interventions and what instructional elements promote student excellence in reading fluency.
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.
The document discusses the stages of reading development from emergent literacy to advanced reading. It describes the key characteristics of each stage, including how children develop phonemic awareness, knowledge of the alphabetic system, decoding and encoding skills, fluency and comprehension. The corresponding stages of spelling development are also addressed at each reading stage. Suggested instructional approaches that support reading at each level are provided.
This document discusses phonics instruction and considerations for teaching phonics to children. It recommends starting phonics between ages 3-4 when children start attempting to read words and learn individual letter sounds. Phonics instruction is important for learning to read, spell words, and understand print concepts. There are two main approaches to teaching reading - emphasizing word memorization or teaching phonics. Teaching phonics provides a reading foundation by teaching letters and their corresponding sounds to decode words. Some best practices for phonics instruction include using clear text, repetition, controlled vocabulary, associating letters with sounds, telling stories with actions, and having students practice letters.
This document provides information on teaching reading through five components: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. It discusses techniques for each component, including phonemic awareness activities, teaching the alphabetic principle through letter sounds and blending, measuring fluency, direct vocabulary instruction, and seven comprehension strategies. The document also summarizes six core developmental reading approaches and several other instructional methods.
Lesson Plan in English 2 (REALITY/FANTASY)Sharyn Gayo
The lesson plan aims to teach students to distinguish between realistic and fanciful events and actions. It involves reading a story about a woodcutter who is granted three wishes by a fairy. Through discussion questions about the story, students determine what events are realistic versus fanciful. Students then practice identifying realities and fantasies by categorizing sentences. The lesson emphasizes using wise judgment to evaluate the truthfulness of ideas.
This document discusses the importance of listening skills for language learners and provides tips for teachers to help students become better listeners. It explains that listening is the most used language skill but also the hardest for learners. Some key points made include:
- Listening strategies like predicting, note-taking, and recognizing sounds can aid comprehension.
- Active listening means understanding the full message, not just words.
- Teachers should activate students' background knowledge, assess their familiarity with topics, and use questions to focus attention on key elements.
- Predicting and reviewing comprehension helps students monitor understanding as they listen.
- Visual aids can provide context clues and help make input more comprehensible.
This lesson plan aims to help students identify an author's purpose and critically analyze a reading about friendship. The teacher will show a picture to motivate discussion about friends, introduce vocabulary, and have students read the selection. Students will then determine the author's purpose and answer comprehension questions. For evaluation, students will complete lines of a poem about what a friend means to them. Their assignment is to answer questions about sacrifices in friendship and potential barriers.
Analyzing figures of speech hyperbole and ironyELLA BANCORO
This document discusses figures of speech, specifically hyperbole and irony. It defines hyperbole as an intentional exaggeration used to emphasize a point, and provides examples like saying someone is "skinny enough to jump through a keyhole." It defines irony as a contrast between what is said and meant, and includes three types: verbal, situational, and dramatic. The document concludes with practice identifying whether examples use hyperbole or irony.
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.

This document provides the K to 12 curriculum guide for English in the Philippines. It outlines the content and performance standards as well as competencies for oral language, phonics and word recognition, grammar, vocabulary development, and listening comprehension from Grades 1 to 3 and Grades 7 to 10. The guide focuses on developing learners' understanding and use of English in both oral and written communication. It emphasizes acquiring vocabulary, comprehending texts listened to, and correctly applying grammatical rules.
The document provides a detailed lesson plan for teaching students how to write a descriptive essay. The lesson includes objectives, subject matter, materials, and procedures. It begins with an introductory video and discussion to motivate students. Students then practice applying descriptive techniques by writing paragraphs based on the video. The teacher reviews guidelines for descriptive essays and has students analyze a sample. Students conclude by writing their own descriptive essays, applying the guidelines they learned.
This lesson plan aims to teach students about different types of adverbs. It begins with an introduction to adverbs through analysis of song lyrics and examples. Students then watch a video explaining how adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. The lesson identifies five types of adverbs: manner, place, time, frequency, and degree. Activities include students creating their own sentences using different adverbs and acting out phrases to demonstrate understanding. The goal is for 100% of students to be able to describe, use, and differentiate adverbs by the end of the lesson.
This lesson plan teaches preschool students about the letter Mm. The objectives are for students to recognize objects starting with Mm, draw and trace the letter Mm, and develop their knowledge of Mm. Activities include singing the alphabet song to identify Mm, reading a poem about milk and mango, discussing other words starting with Mm, and an evaluation activity matching items to their starting sound. Students are assigned to practice writing Mm and find pictures starting with Mm to glue on a paper.
The document describes Grace Goodell's Reading Skills Ladder, which outlines 16 reading skills in a progression. It starts with basic sight words and progresses to more advanced skills like using reference books, borrowing library books, reading from the internet, and exposure to reading from mass media. The document provides details on sight words, including what they are, examples from the Dolch word list, and Ehri's four phases of sight word development. It also explains phonetic analysis and provides examples of phonetic classifications.
Phonological awareness is a listening and oral language skill that does not involve print. It is the ability to hear and produce the individual sounds heard within words. The early stages of phonological awareness emerge when babies and toddlers mimic sounds heard to say their first words. It is an essential skill because it sets the foundation for phonics - the ability to match sounds to their
correct letter or letter patterns to read words.

The document contains a list of random words with no context or connection between them. It does not provide any clear information that can be summarized in 3 sentences or less.
This resource provides information to help teachers and parents identify potential reading difficulties in students. It lists "red flags" in preschoolers and early elementary students that could indicate problems with reading acquisition or efficiency, such as not knowing letter sounds or struggling to blend sounds. The purpose is to increase awareness, not diagnose specific disorders. The document also describes dyslexia as a difficulty with reading fluency and comprehension despite normal intelligence, involving issues with phonological awareness and other language skills. It aims to help teachers support students with reading difficulties through assessments and targeted teaching strategies.
Phonics instruction teaches readers to decode words by sounding out letters and letter combinations. It builds a foundation for reading by helping children understand the relationship between written symbols and sounds. Phonics and phonemic awareness, which is understanding that words are made up of individual sounds, allow children to decode words and lead to improved reading fluency and comprehension over time. Research shows that the ability to recognize words accounts for most of a child's reading comprehension in early grades, so phonics is critical for reading success.
This document provides an overview of a 14-lesson phonics class for parents. It introduces phonics, explaining that phonics is the relationship between letters and sounds. It discusses why phonics is important for learning to read and spell. The document also outlines the stages of learning phonics from basic sounds to more advanced combinations. Finally, it proposes methods for teaching phonics including songs, games, and practice.

The words are listed one per line in no particular order from common words like "the", "and", "a", and "I" to more advanced words like "together", "shall", and "laugh".
This document discusses the importance of teaching pronunciation early in the language learning process. It argues that if pronunciation is not emphasized from the beginning, learners will develop fossilized pronunciation errors based on their native language sounds. The document presents an anecdote of a learner who struggled to be understood despite having good grammar and vocabulary because of their poor pronunciation. It also notes that English spelling can interfere with pronunciation and mislead learners. Overall, the document concludes that pronunciation is a fundamental part of oral ability and that learners need intensive exposure to good models early on to develop intelligible pronunciation.
This document lists 100 sight words that 4th grade students should be able to read automatically without sounding out the individual letters or syllables. The words cover a variety of topics from actions and directions to objects, places, and time-related words. Students are instructed to read each word on the list quickly without stretching out the pronunciation.
The document describes the D.I.S.S.E.C.T. reading strategy, which is a 7-step mnemonic device to help struggling readers decode and identify unfamiliar words. The steps are: Discover the context, Isolate the prefix, Separate the suffix, Say the stem, Examine the stem, Check with someone, and Try the dictionary. The strategy was developed to assist middle school students with learning disabilities and is based on identifying prefixes, suffixes, and breaking words into pronounceable parts to decode multisyllabic words.
The document discusses reading problems as a national dilemma, providing statistics on illiteracy rates and costs. It presents different models for assessing and instructing students with reading difficulties, including Response to Intervention with three tiers of intervention intensity. Key elements of teaching reading are identified, such as early literacy, word recognition, fluency, comprehension, and connecting reading to writing. Differentiated instruction is advocated to meet individual student needs.
Visual Word Recognition. The Journey from Features to Meaningfawzia
I am M.A Linguistics Student and this is my first presentation about Psycho linguistics titled: Visual Word Recognition; in which my colleague and I explain how our minds recognize words. The journey starts from the orthographic lexicon and ends in meaning.
I welcome your comments.
Book: Brown Bear, Brown Bear
Concept: Pattern Book. We will be identifying a linguistic pattern in our text emphasizing the use of the pronouns “I”, “Me” and “You” for a young child with Autism. After reading our text, the student will have the opportunity to develop her own personalized page for the pattern book utilizing the pattern established in the text, including the use of the specified pronouns.
Before Reading: We will sing a song containing a pattern very similar to the one used in our story (What Do You See?). After singing, we will discuss the concept of a pattern and the manner in which patterns can be verbally sung in the context of a song or read in the context of book. We will review the pronouns of “I”, “me” and “you” and how we can use such pronouns to ask questions and indicate what we see.
During Reading: As we read, I will emphasize the different patterns we hear in the book (i.e. “Ava, what do you see?” and “I see a ________ looking at me”) by changing my voice for each type of pattern and pointing to the patterns as I read. After reading the first few pages, I will prompt the little girl to join in the reading of the book as I continue to read.
After Reading: Using a page in the book, I will prompt the student to identify the two different patterns in our book either through circling the patterns or highlighting them. I will then prompt the student to finish our book by developing her own page. We can then bind our book and place it in our tutoring classroom library.
A moose taken to New York City would want to walk the streets, climb tall buildings, see the Statue of Liberty, and eat a famous hot dog. However, the moose would get tired and need to be carried to the top of buildings.
Lesson Plan Concept: Pattern Book and Color Book Pre-Reading I will begin by reading the title and showing the students the book cover. I would ask the students if they have ever read the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See. I would also ask the students what they think the book is about. Before I start, I will also review shapes and ask if they see anything familiar. Reading I will read the book to the children while pointing at each word as I say it. I will then ask the students what they see in the picture. Next, I would read the book again and have the students read along with me. Post-Reading After we have read the story, I will pass out a paper where I put their name at the top asking them what they see. For example, they will look at the classroom and write down what they see. Afterwards I will hang the books on a bulletin board and allow the students to see their creation.
The document summarizes a story about three stressed out USF Bulls preparing for their final exams. The first Bull only reviewed their notes, the second reviewed notes and readings, and the third re-read all materials, memorized notes, and joined a study group. On the exams, the professor failed the first two Bulls by marking their exams with red pen but could find no faults with the third Bull's exam. When the professor tried to falsely accuse the third Bull of cheating, they went to the Dean and the professor was fired. The moral of the story is that preparing as well as you can leads to success.

Before Reading: Talk about pattern. Introduce animals that are in the book as vocabulary.
During Reading: Focus on the pattern. Have children chime in and read with you.
After Reading: Review the pattern in the book. Then children create their own pattern book page
1. Word recognition refers to linking printed words to their meanings and is a prerequisite for reading acquisition. Factors like perceptual span and context affect word recognition.
2. Ehri's phases of reading development include pre-alphabetic, partial alphabetic, full alphabetic, and consolidated alphabetic phases. Readers progress from relying on visual cues to incorporating letter-sound knowledge.
3. Systematic phonics instruction helps children learn to read more effectively than non-systematic or no phonics. Teaching phonemic awareness skills such as blending and segmenting also improves reading ability.
The document discusses theories of how readers learn to read words through sight recognition. It describes four phases of sight word learning where readers form connections between spellings and pronunciations using alphabetic knowledge. Readers progress from using partial to full alphabetic knowledge to read words automatically without conscious effort. Seeing familiar words triggers their recognition from memory, the most efficient way to read for comprehension compared to decoding unfamiliar words.
1) The document discusses different aspects of vocabulary learning, including definitions of vocabulary, types of vocabulary, and methods for learning vocabulary.
2) Vocabulary can be classified as receptive (words understood) or productive (words used), and as oral or written. There are also active vocabularies that are used and passive vocabularies that are understood but not used.
3) Suggested methods for learning new vocabulary include writing words with definitions, using flashcards, saying words aloud, grouping words by topic, and using words in speaking and writing. Testing oneself and learning collocations are also recommended.

11 Word Banks and Word Sorts
We visited an elementary school in our area not long ago. When entering Sam’s first-grade classroom, we were immediately struck by the variety of activity—children were reading, working with words, writing—literacy activity was everywhere. Little Jeremy soon approached us. “Hey!” he said, beaming. “I learned 17 words last week! Wanna see?” Of course we did, so Jeremy took us to his desk and proudly extracted several words from his word bank. “Here they are. These came from the poem we have been reading. Did I tell you I can read the poem? And these are from the science story we dictated to Mr. Johnson. Want me to read the words to you?” Jeremy was proud of his accomplishments and enthusiastic about the words he had learned. He was well on his way to becoming a reader.
Upstairs, in Chris’s fifth-grade class, we saw small groups of students clustered around words written on slips of paper. Kids were talking and moving words around on their tables. Chris explained, “We just finished a social studies unit about the American Revolution. Students are sorting important vocabulary words into one of three categories: battles, government, or both. I’ve been eavesdropping. The discussions are fascinating, especially for words like liberty and independence. They’re really thinking!”
Beginning readers like Jeremy need meaningful, familiar text to read and reread. They also need to work with words, particularly to develop and maintain their sight vocabularies and to discover features of the graphophonic cueing system. Older students, like those in Chris’s class, need opportunities to think about and use academic vocabulary. Word banks and word sorts, the focus of this chapter, are very useful for these purposes (Stauffer 1980).
11.1 What Is a Word Bank?
A word bank is a collection of words that a child knows (or is in the process of learning). Beginning readers primarily use word banks to reinforce word learning. Beyond the beginning stages of reading, word banks are used as a reference for spelling and writing and as a source of words for instruction and practice in phonics or other related reading skills. Hall (1981) outlines several major functions for word banks:
· To serve as a record of individual students’ reading vocabularies
· To serve as a reference for writing and spelling
· To serve as examples and context for group language study or skills instruction
· To provide reinforcement through repeated exposure to words
Word bank words can come from anywhere. In fact, the child’s own name, family members’ names, and words related to outsideofschool interests often appear in children’s word banks. Inside the classroom, dictations, predictable pattern books, poems, and songs are supportive texts for beginning reading instruction. As children read and reread these texts, they learn the words within them. Older students also keep word banks, in which they deposit interesting or important words they encounter from the liter ...
This document discusses strategies for improving the vocabulary of students who start school with limited vocabularies. It notes that vocabulary is impacted by a child's home environment and parental practices. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds often start school with a much smaller vocabulary than their peers. The document then outlines several strategies teachers can use to support vocabulary development in the classroom, including direct instruction of difficult words, repeated exposures to new words, word-rich environments, and engaging students in discussions and word play.
The Role of Discourse Context in Developing Word Form RepresentationsCindy Shen
The document summarizes two experiments that examined how children learn new word representations when words are presented in context versus in isolation. In Experiment 1, children read unknown words aloud either in context or in isolation without feedback and were later tested on their ability to read the words in isolation. Results showed that children read words more accurately when presented in context but did not retain the words better when tested later in isolation. The study aimed to understand how context influences attention to word forms during learning.
The document discusses strategies for improving reading skills in elementary school students. It recommends that parents hold reading workshops to teach techniques like phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Research shows that parental involvement and reading aloud at home are among the most effective ways to promote literacy learning. Reading aloud with children conditions their brain to associate reading with pleasure and helps build vocabulary and background knowledge. The workshop aims to teach parents how to make reading an enjoyable routine for children.
Stages in 1st language - Wissam Ali Askarwissam999
Children progress through several stages in acquiring their first language. They develop receptive language skills like comprehending speech before expressive skills like speaking. Babbling emerges around 3 months and transitions to first words by 12 months in the one-word stage. Between 12-18 months, children use single words and by 2 years begin combining words into simple sentences in the two-word stage. From 2-3 years, the telegraphic stage is characterized by longer but grammatically simplified utterances. Cognitive development facilitates language acquisition as children's understanding of concepts like objects and time influence their linguistic development.
This document discusses vocabulary acquisition and its importance for reading comprehension. It begins by introducing the topic and citing research showing vocabulary knowledge is essential for learning. It then discusses how vocabulary develops, noting children from lower socioeconomic groups hear fewer words. Both direct instruction and independent reading are needed to build vocabulary. The document outlines strategies teachers can use to promote vocabulary learning, such as word games, modeling word meanings, and teaching Greek and Latin roots. It emphasizes the need for vocabulary instruction, especially in schools with high poverty rates. Overall, the document examines research on vocabulary development and provides teachers with resources and strategies to support students' vocabulary growth.
This document provides an overview of a professional development workshop on Literacy 2.0. The summary is:
The workshop will help participants 1) develop an understanding of Web 2.0 tools and Literacy 2.0, and 2) increase understanding of effective literacy instruction components in order to 3) plan ways to incorporate Web 2.0 tools in their classrooms to boost literacy learning.
How language developed in early childhood 1-aiimola12
This document discusses language development in early childhood. It covers the key systems that make up language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics). It also discusses the biological and environmental influences on language development, outlining major theories including Piaget's stages of cognitive development and Vygotsky's emphasis on social interaction and the zone of proximal development. Theories of language development discussed include the nativist view proposed by Chomsky that posits an innate language acquisition device, as well as the empiricist view that language is learned from the environment. Stages of typical language development from 6 months to 5 years are also outlined.
The document discusses strategies for using read-alouds to build vocabulary and comprehension in primary students. It emphasizes using high-quality children's literature and engaging students in discussions to teach Tier 2 words in context. Planning is important, with goals set before, during, and after reading. Fiction and nonfiction require different focuses - fiction on individual words, nonfiction on related word clusters and text structure. Multiple exposures and review are also recommended.
This document provides an overview of a booklet titled "A Focus on Vocabulary" published by Pacific Resources for Education and Learning. The booklet examines what research tells us about how students acquire vocabulary and what effective instruction must do to help students develop vocabulary knowledge to support reading comprehension. It defines vocabulary, discusses the importance of vocabulary for reading comprehension, and how many words students need to know.
This PowerPoint was made by Annette Guterres & Julia Starling.
I have converted into slide share for easy access.
An excellent presentation on vocab acquisition.
The document discusses effective vocabulary instruction strategies supported by research. It recommends explicitly teaching vocabulary words, including providing student-friendly definitions and examples of words in context. It also suggests varying vocabulary instruction tasks, such as asking questions about word meanings, and relating words to students' prior knowledge and experiences. The document emphasizes the importance of multiple exposures, active engagement, and relating new words to known words.
This document discusses the importance of phonemic awareness in learning to read. It provides research evidence that phonemic awareness is the strongest predictor of reading success and the lack of phonemic awareness makes learning to read very difficult. Phonemic awareness involves being able to hear and manipulate the individual sounds in spoken words. The document emphasizes that phonemic awareness can be developed in children through activities that encourage exploring and manipulating sounds in language. Screening for phonemic awareness is important to identify any children who may need additional support. Providing systematic phonics instruction integrated with other reading instruction in phonemic awareness, fluency and comprehension can create an effective reading program.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
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.

5. SIGHT WORDS
The hallmark of skilled reading is the
ability to read individual words
accurately and quickly in isolation
as well as in text, referred to as
“context free” word reading skill
(Stanovich, 1980).
6. SIGHT WORDS
Being able to read words from memory
by sight is valuable because it allows
readers to focus their attention on
constructing the meaning of the text while
their eyes recognize individual words
automatically (Ehri, 2004).
7. SIGHT WORDS
Of particular importance in developing
early reading foundation skills is
the development of sight words
reading competencies (Meadan et
al. 2008).
8. SIGHT WORDS
Sight words are list of words that are (a) are
recognized without mediation or
phonetic analysis (Browder and Lalli) (b)
can be read from memory (c) include not
only high-frequency words but any word that
can be “read from memory” (Ehri)
9. SIGHT READING
Sight word reading is a
discreet , observable response
that is controlled by printed
stimulus (Browder and
D’Huyvetters, 1988).
10. SIGHT READING
Sight word reading is not limited to
high-frequency or irregularly spelled
words, contrary to the beliefs of some, but
includes all words that readers can read
from memory (Ehri, 2004)
11. SIGHT READING
Reading by sight is learning to recognize
words and read them quickly without
decoding (Philips and Feng, 2012).
12. SIGHT READING
Students, who can retrieve words
effortlessly by sight, will be able to read
text easily, with more meaning and are
capable of learning many more new
words (Johnston (2000).
13. SIGHT READING
Sight word reading is not a strategy for
reading words, contrary to some views.
Being strategic involves choosing
procedures to optimize outcomes, such as
figuring out unfamiliar words by decoding
(Gough, 1972) or analogizing (Goswami,
1986, 1988) or prediction (Goodman, 1970;
Tunmer & Chapman, 1998).
14. SIGHT READING
ON THE CONTRARY…..
Sight word reading happens
automatically without the
influence of intention or choice.
17. DOLCH 220 LIST
advocated teaching only sight
words in the first grade and
waiting until the second grade to
introduce phonics, if desired
(Dolch, 1941).
18. DOLCH 220 LIST
…is
1.contained of 220 words which does not
include nouns, unless a word such as walk
can be used for different parts of speech.
“Nouns cannot be of universal use because
each noun is tied to special subject matter.”
-Dolch, 1936
19. DOLCH 220 LIST
2. first called “tool words” (1936) later
became “service words” (1941)
3. readily available sorted by grade level
or frequency, although we found no
indication that Dolch himself categorized
his words by grade level or by frequency
20. DOLCH 220 LIST
“if one can read all of those
words , one can read at a
third grade level”
-Dolch, 1948
DOLCH NOUN
LIST
21. DOLCH 220 LIST
The words came from….
1. The vocabulary list from the
Child Study Committee of the
International Kindergarten Union
(1928) which listed 2,596 words
found to be known by children in
spoken language before entering
Grade 1
22. DOLCH 220 LIST
2. The first 500 words on the Gate List
(1926), which listed 1500 words of use for
teaching Grades K-2
3. A list compiled by Wheeler and Howell
(1930) with 453 words found frequently in
ten primers and 10 first readers published
between 1922 and 1929
23. DOLCH 220 LIST
193 appear in all three lists that
Dolch consulted; 27 words are in
the first 510 words in the
International Kindergarten Union
and in the first 500 words on
Gates List
(Dolch, 1936)
24. Teaching Primary Reading,
1941
1. To the beginner “knowing the
words” means sight
recognition . The child looks at
the word form, and the word
sound comes to his mind
without his knowing either how or
why
25. Teaching Primary Reading,
1941
2. If the child has a stock of fifty
(sight) words he can read
anything which is made of these
fifty words or in which the strange
words can be guessed
26. Teaching Primary Reading,
1941
3. Work with phonics used to begin with
phonetic families , but we now see that such
work was an attempt go too fast. We
now start with sight words, and to help
the child recognize or guess a word we ask
him how it begins
27. FRY’s 1000 INSTANT WORDS
Fry is widely known as on how to teach reading. On
his books “The Reading Teacher’s Book of Lists
(Fry and Kress, 2006) and the “Vocabulary
Teacher’s Book of Lists (Fry, 2004) are staples in
many elementary schools.
He also developed the Fry Readability
Graph, a widely used tool for assessing the
readability of texts, novels and other
reading materials.
28. FRY’s 1000 INSTANT WORDS
He presents the words in set of five
as a “reminder to only teach few
words at a time” (Fry, 2000)
Teachers should teach phonics , but leaves
specifics as to how children and when
vague
(Fry, 1999)
29. FRY’s 1000 INSTANT WORDS
….is
1.first published a list of instant words
in 1957. He revised the list in 1980
based on a more recent frequency
count.
2.Composed of all parts of speech
3.listed by frequency
30. How to Teach Reading, 1999
2. Beginning readers need to master a
high-frequency vocabulary such
as the 600 Instant Words
31. FRY’s 1000 INSTANT WORDS
The words came from….
The American Heritage Word Frequency
Book (Carol, Davies,and Richmond,
1971) it has 87,000 words. The American
Heritage words were compiled from 1,
045 texts representing reading
requirements and recommendations in
grades 3-9 in the United States.
32. How to Teach Reading, 1999
1. Beginning readers need to master a
basic sight vocabulary of common
words, for now we will define (beginning
reader) as any child or adult whose reading
ability ranges from none to upper third
grade
33. How to Teach Reading, 1999
3. An average student in an average
school situation learns most of the first 100
words toward the end of the first year.
The second hundred words are added
during the second year. It is not until in
the third year that all 300 words are really
mastered and used as part of the students’
own reading vocabulary
34. DOLCH vs FRY
1.The Dolch 100 List and the Fry
100 list have a combined total of
130 unique words
2.70 of 130 words are on both the
Dolch 100 and the Fry 100 List
35. DOLCH vs FRY
3. All words on the Dolch 100 List
appear on the Fry 1000 Instant Words
List
4. Only 9 words on the Fry 100 list are
not on the Dolch 220 List or the Dolch
Noun List . The 9 words unique to the
Fry 100 list are each,more, number,
other, part, people, than, way and word.
36. WAYS TO ASSESS SIGHT
WORD READING
1. Testing readers’ ability to read
irregularly spelled words under the
assumption that, if these are not
known, they will be decoded
phonically, resulting in errors.
37. WAYS TO ASSESS SIGHT
WORD READING
2. Giving students a sight word learning task
in which they practice reading a set of
unfamiliar words.
Readers are taught one of two phonetically
equivalent spellings (e.g., cake vs. caik) and then
their memory for the particular form taught is
tested. Readers might be asked to recall the
spelling or to choose among alternative spellings.
Although the test is of spelling rather than reading,
the correlation between the two skills is very high,
supporting the validity of spelling as an indicator.
38. WAYS TO ASSESS SIGHT
WORD READING
3. Assessing word reading speed. This
works because readers take less time to
read words by sight than to decode them or
read them by analogy. Reading words within
one second of seeing them is taken to
indicate sight word reading.
39. SIGHT WORDS
“Speaking is a normal, genetically-
hardwired capability; reading is not. No
areas of the
brain are specialized for reading. In
fact, reading is probably the most
difficult task we ask the young brain to
undertake” (Sousa, 2005).
40. SIGHT WORDS
The appropriate response to the
graphic features of the word might not be
acquired , or blocked (Hill, 1995).
41. SIGHT WORDS
“Some children may require additional instruction
that is not tied directly to letter-sound manipulation
or phonics. In fact, for some students, the most
effective reading instructional tactic may be based
on techniques that are not exclusively dependent
on the alphabetic principle, but rather involve rote
memory of whole words coupled with context clues
in order to determine the meaning of new words.
These non-alphabetic-principle techniques, taken
together, may be thought of as sight-word
instruction” (Bender & Larkin, 2003).
42. SIGHT WORDS
Teaching sight words to beginning
readers , less efficient learning occurs
when a new word to be learned is
accompanied by related pictures
(Samuel, 1967).
43. SIGHT WORDS
Words in Isolation VS in Sentences
(context) VS with Pictures
The investigators found out that context and
picture cues slowed acquisition of new word
(Singer, Samuel, Spiroff, 1973).
44. SIGHT WORDS
HOWEVER
When most young children are immersed in
interactions with technology every day that
present multi-modal learning opportunities
(large screen tv; computer programs
available in home setting s; play with
electronic toys and games) (Bowman and
Beyer, 1994; Jewitt, 2006; Loveless and
Dore, 2002)
45. SIGHT WORDS
How children learn sight words is that
learning is enhanced when pictures are
paired with words to be learned (Goodman,
1965).
46. SIGHT WORDS
Pictures are introduced, not to supplant the
print but to provide one additional source of
information from which the beginner can
sample as he reads. Increasing the amount
of available information through the medium
of pictures is shown to have a strong
facilitative effect on word identification in
context in a smaller , though significant,
facilitative effect on world learning (Denberg,
1976-1977)
47. SIGHT WORDS
Samuel’s theory appears to be preferable as
a model for teaching non-readers of normal
ability. In comparing typical children to those
with Down Syndrome and reading
disabilities , sight vocabulary was observed
to be learned most efficiently by all
participants when the target word was
presented in isolation. (Hill,1995)
48. SIGHT WORDS
For young children identified as being
“at risk” teaching sight word recognition
may require explicit skill instruction on
the part of the education professionals
(Ehri, 2005; Lee and Vail, 2005; Stahl,
Mckena and Pagnucco, 1994)
50. WORD RECOGNITION
Three processing clusters in the reading
process
1.Visual information processing (converting
print into linguistic information)
2. Cognitive processing (integrating
segmental information in text)
3.3. Metacognitive processing (relating the
textual information to prior knowledge)
(Miller, 1988)
51. WORD RECOGNITION
Model #1: Word Shape
The general idea is that we see words as a
complete patterns rather than the sum of
letter parts. James Cattell (1886) was the
first psychologist to propose this as a model
of word recognition. Some claim that the
information used to recognize a word is the
pattern of ascending, descending, and
neutral characters.
52.
53. WORD RECOGNITION
Model #2: Serial Letter Recognition
The shortest lived model of word recognition is that
words are read letter-by-letter serially from left to
right. Gough (1972) proposed this model because
it was easy to understand, and far more testable
than the word shape model of reading. In essence,
recognizing a word in the mental lexicon was
analogous to looking up a word in a dictionary.
You start off by finding the first letter, than the
second, and so on until you recognize the word.
54. WORD RECOGNITION
Model #3: Parallel Letter Recognition
This model says that the letters within a
word are recognized simultaneously,
and the letter information is used to
recognize the words.
55.
56. Important Elements of Phonics
and Word Recognition Instruction
1. Print Awareness—awareness of the
forms and functions of printed language.
2. Alphabetic Knowledge—knowledge of
the shapes and names of letters of the
alphabet.
3. Phonological and Phonemic
Awareness—awareness of and the
ability to manipulate the sounds of
spoken English words.
57. Important Elements of Phonics
and Word Recognition Instruction
4. The Alphabetic Principle—
understanding that there is a systematic
relationship between the sounds of spoken
English and the letters and letter patterns of
written English.
5. Decoding—understanding how to read
each letter or letter pattern in a word to
determine the word’s meaning.
58. Important Elements of Phonics
and Word Recognition Instruction
6. Irregular/High-Frequency Words—
recognition of words that appear often in
printed English, but are not readily
decodable in the early stages of reading
instruction.
7. Spelling and Writing—understanding
how to translate sound-letter relationships
and spelling patterns into written
communication.
59. Important Elements of Phonics
and Word Recognition Instruction
8. Reading Practice with Decodable Texts
—application of information about
soundletter relationships to the reading of
readily decodable texts.
9. Reading Fluency—practice in reading a
variety of texts so that reading becomes
easy, accurate, and expressive.
60. Guidelines for Addressing Word-
Identification Strategies
A beginning reading program should
include…
1. Opportunities to practice word
recognition, including words with newly
introduced sound-letter relations or word
parts mixed with previously learned words.
61. Guidelines for Addressing Word-
Identification Strategies
2. Opportunities for children to learn to use
word order (syntax) and word meaning
(semantics) to confirm the words identified
through word-recognition strategies (Adams,
1998).
62. Guidelines for Addressing Word-
Identification Strategies
3. A limited set of sight words (some of
which are regularly spelled) in the beginning
stages of reading instruction.
4. Phonetically irregular words in a
reasonable order and review the words
cumulatively.
63. Guidelines for Addressing Word-
Identification Strategies
5. Phonetically irregular words in the written
materials the students read.
6. Opportunities for children not only to
decode words but also to access the words'
meanings.
64. Guidelines for Addressing Word-
Identification Strategies
7. Strategies for
identifying words with
more than one syllable.
