Phonemic awareness

years. The article explains why in the early years of elementary school students need to spend time on focus phonics. Students need to have a strong base in phonics in order to read, spell and write. In the article that I read about phonemes and phonemic awareness and how they are needed to help students learn the sounds for the sounds that are two letters. Phonic instructions in special needs are also discussed and how it is important to teach students with special needs a different way.…

takes a deeper look at Nathan who was diagnosed with a phonemic awareness problem. This deficiency left Nathan with an inability to distinguish between the different letter sounds that form words. One struggle for Nathan was that by the time he was done decoding individual letters that made up words left him struggling to comprehend what he had actually read. However students similar to Nathan who have lower levels of phonological awareness can still succeed from a number of developed…

reading groups and practice reading, those who had more difficulty would go to an additional room to receive one-on-one instruction going through The Wilson Reading System booklets. Each booklet is a different level providing different phonological awareness tasks starting with basic words that are real and non-sense words, as well as providing sentences and passages to practice. After completion of a booklet, a test is given to see if one can proceed to the next booklet. The content in the…

This course has provided me with a strong understanding of how students in the primary grades learn to read and write and what I need to do to ensure I provide my students with the best literacy learning experiences. More specifically, I have learned foundations of literacy instruction, principles of effective literacy teachers, stages of literacy development, common core standards, the reading and writing processes, different way to assess and assessment tools, how to organize for reading and…

process of reading itself encompasses the fluid coordination of many component skills, with many reading difficulties being interrelated with deficits in phonetic and phonemic awareness. Moreover, phonological disorders often affect the phonemic level of representation and are characterized by difficulty in organizing speech sounds into phonemic contrasts (Olson et al, 1989). A number of data suggests a strong compatible causal relationship between phonological processing ability and literacy…

After reviewing the video during week two, the first information that I would deliver to an expecting mother concerning language development, would be the amazing things that happens before birth that can affect the language development as well as the negative things. According to author Annie Paul Murphy, during the prenatal stages if the infant is exposed to certain environmental factors such as drugs, diseases, or alcohol and many more. These exposures can lead to complications in the brain…

Pullen, P. (2015)). Dyslexia has a wide area of issues within the learning disability spectrum (Hallahan, D., Kauffman, J., & Pullen, P. (2015)). There are multiple difficulties that a child might have if they are dyslexic, including, phonological awareness, visual processing, working memory, and information processing speed (Hartas, D. (2006)). Learning what dyslexia is,…

Students are learning every day this is why print concepts are important to students. When teachers use print concepts it helps with the student’s fluency when they are reading. It also helps with the student’s accuracy while reading. Concepts are important for the reason that it teaches students how reading works. I have researched 10 different strategies that teach print concepts. The first one is graphic organizers. Graphic organizers are important because they help students understand things…

The first element of the reading process is phonological awareness, which is an auditory skill that requires children to analyses the sound of language into component sounds, before they begin the process of reading at the printed level (Matheson, 2005, p.22; Scull & Raban, 2016, p.153). For example, producing and identifying rhymes (such as how ‘mat’ rhymes with ‘sat’), isolating and segmenting letters and syllables (such as ‘n’ from ‘nose’), blending syllables, and exchanging sounds to make…

Although I understand that this is not the proper instruction for phonemic awareness lessons, I feel she would have benefitted from seeing the concept on paper. As an adult learner, the student tried to apply a process understood from prior learning, which is spelling, and had difficulty with the phoneme concept. This idea…
