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 Speech Sound Pics Approach has been created by the Reading Whisperer for Australian schools. This presentation shows the research on which SSP is based, as well as an overview regarding HOW to teach any child to read and spell before year 2.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

The Three R's of Phonics Instruction: Relationships, Relevance, and Results
1. The Three R’s of Phonics Instruction Relationships, Relevance, and Results
2. “I believe that reading, in its original essence, is that fruitful miracle of a communication in the midst of solitude.”Marcel Proust
3. 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. The Three R’s
4. “Children are wired for sound, but print is an optional accessory that must be painstakingly bolted on.”Steven Pinker
5. The National Reading Panel defines phonemic awareness as “the ability to focus on and manipulate phonemes in spoken words.” Every spoken word can be conceived as a sequence of phonemes. Phonemic awareness is prerequisite for learning to decode, along with letter recognition and letter-sound knowledge. Phonemic awareness leads to decoding automaticity. One to one correlation between a sound and a symbol must be established to successfully decode. Phonics and Phonemic Awareness
6. Children who have five years of experience fighting with trolls, rescuing maidens with silken tresses, and deciphering clues given by witches will have an easier task recognizing unfamiliar words and ultimately comprehending the text that contains them.” Maryanne Wolf
7. Children start kindergarten with a variety of vocabulary levels from listening and speaking vocabularies. Blended phonemes become words. Spelling, sound, and meaning connections lead to automaticity. Affixes have meaning that effect the use of the word as it is decoded. Visual word form area is built as students have more exposure to words. Vocabulary knowledge helps students quickly recognize frequent spelling patterns from words they are familiar with. Phonics and Vocabulary
8. “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Seuss, "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!"
9. Fluency consists of rate, accuracy, and prosody as it relates to comprehension. Fluency has also been described as the bridge between phonics and comprehension. Automaticity is the link between phonics and fluency. Phonics and Fluency
10. “Reading is experience. A biography of any literary person ought to deal at length with what he read and when, for in some sense, we are what we read.” Joseph Epstein
11. When a student can decode words fluently, their brain is freed up to focus on comprehending the text. As words are decoded, an area in the brain associated with the meaning of the word is utilized. Poor phonics application can lead to comprehension problems. Phonics and Comprehension
12. “Kindergartners who receive systematic beginning phonics instruction read better and spell better than other children, and first graders are better able to decode and spell words. The students also show significant improvement in their ability to understand what they read. Similarly, phonics instruction helps older children spell and decode text better, although their understanding does not necessarily improve.” National Reading Panel Importance of Phonics Instruction for Developing Readers
13. Every student needs a phonics foundation. Phonics instruction for advanced readers can strengthen areas of the brain used in reading processes. Using nonsense words with advanced readers facilitates analytical thought processes. Advanced readers will encounter hard words in text. There are plenty of opportunities for differentiation with advanced readers. Importance of Phonics Instruction for Advanced Readers
14. Phonics can strengthen and build visual and auditory areas of the brain, as well as the linguistic and conceptual areas. Phonics Instruction can “rewire” the brain. The earlier the intervention the better, but it can ALWAYS be done! Importance of Phonics Instruction for Struggling Readers
16. Remember the difference between a strategy and a skill. Use decodable texts coordinated directly with phonics instruction in earliest levels of instruction to speed up word recognition. Use connected text in instruction. Instruct in all areas of fluency. Implement guided repeated oral reading to develop automatic word recognition and fluency. Getting Results
17. Provide time and accountability for silent reading. Challenge advanced readers by having them look for exceptions and always explain the “why” in a word. Pronounce schwas like they are spelled to facilitate long term learning. Advocate for early systemic phonics instruction. Emphasize spelling, sound, and meaning for all words used in instruction. Getting Results
18. When teaching individual phonemes in words, use the actual letter that represents the phoneme instead of blocks or other objects to help build visual word form area. Provide students multiple exposures to skill words in multiple contexts. Getting Results
19. “The greatest gift is a passion for reading.” - Elizabeth Hardwick Thank You!
