1. An extensive language is critical for developing comprehension as students develop throughout the school years. Research suggests that the lexical development is the factor that supports the phonological analysis to the representation of the phonological system. Children who have a larger vocabulary appear to be more successful in phonemic awareness than children who have a smaller vocabulary. The development of language is necessary in the English language because it is an alphabetic language. Children must be able to distinguish separate sounds before they can identify the letters in words that relate to these sounds. 2. These experiences are crucial to promoting early/successful readers. These experiences are the foundation which provide opportunities for children to engage in early literacy activities (print awareness, alphabet knowledge, forms and function of print, …show more content…
Fluent readers decode rapidly with comprehension. Rich knowledge of words builds fluency, therefore allocating more time to understand what you’re reading. The implementation of vocabulary building exercises along with lessons to specifically speed up decoding promotes fluent readers such at the Word Web activity. Through this activity the children practice multiple meanings of a word. Activities such as the Word Web makes multiple meanings easier to understand.
Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds in words. We know that a student's skill in phonemic awareness is a good predictor of later reading success or difficulty. It is crucial to children’s’ early literacy skills that parents and teachers read and talk to children to develop this critical literacy skill. Reading aloud to a child is the best single activity to becoming a good reader. Parents can build phonemic awareness read aloud, songs, and word games. Hearing a rhyme is the beginning of phonemic
