Reading Acquisition

1. Five Components of Reading Acquisition

   • Phonemic Awareness
     • The ability to hear and manipulate sounds in words
       • Activities can be done in the dark!
         • Say it , move it activities
   • Phonics
   • Fluency
     • Prosody
     • Pitch
     • Pace
   • Comprehension
     • The process of extracting and constructing meaning through text.

         • Predicting
         • Questioning
         • Monitoring
         • Summarising
         • Visualising
   • Vocabulary

2. Foundations of Reading

   • Vocabulary and conceptual knowledge
     • Vocabulary
       • A collection of receptive , expressive and sight words
     • Conceptual knowledge
       • Prior Knowledge
         • Knowledge about the world
           • Pre-reading Activities
   • Alphabetic principle
     • WORDS are made up of LETTERS which represents SOUNDS
       • Two components to teaching
         • Phonics
         • Phonological Awareness
           • The ability to detect and manipulate sounds at different levels of sound structure.
             • Levels of Sound Structure
               • Word Level
                 • Syllable
                   • Onset Rime
                     • Phoneme
         • THEN
   • Phonics
     • sound-symbol (letter) relationships
       • Analogy Approach
       • Analytic Approach
       • Synthetic Approach
         • part to whole
         • Direct and explicit
         • Scope and sequence
   • Concepts about Book and Print
     • • Book Handling • Directionality • Concept of word • Concept of letter • Punctuation
   • Oral Language
     • Students use sematic, syntactic and graph phonic cueing systems in order to identify words in texts and gain meaning from texts.
       • Strong oral foundation --> Reading Acquisition = Academic Success

3. How to teach reading

   • Part to whole
     • Whole to Part
   • Guided Reading
     • Shared Reading
       • Independent
