Reading Instruction Flashcards
Five Pillars of Reading Instruction.
Phonemic Awareness
Phonics
Fluency
Vocabulary
Comprehension
Name the Four Fluency Components
Rate
Accuracy
Prosody
Automaticity
What teaching method should be used to help the student:
Mrs. Johnson has another student who has someword recognitionskills (WR) and somelanguage comprehensionskills (LC). This student has weak overallreading comprehension(RC).
RC = WR x LC
0.25 = 0.5 x 0.5
No RC =Weak WRxWeak LC
To achieve full reading comprehension, the student must have strong word recognition skills AND strong language comprehension skills.
Use what teaching method to help
Mr. Banks has a student with very stronglanguage comprehensionskills (LC) (rich vocabulary, strong oral language, and background knowledge and experiences to connect to words) but is lacking inword recognition skills(WR) (cannot decode words and pull them off of the page). The student’s strong language skills will not be adequate to compensate forreading comprehension(RC).
RC = WR x LC
0 = 0 x 1
No RC =No WRx Strong LC
What needs to be done for Mr. Banks’s student so that they can achieve reading comprehension?
Phonemic Awareness and Decoding Practice - Prior to working on decoding, the teacher would need to make sure the student has a complete understanding of phonemes and graphemes, then move into practicing decoding and moving on to morphology skills.
What would be a goid teaching method:
Mrs. Nelson has a student whoseword recognition(WR) skills are very strong (the student can decode every word on the page), but has gaps in oral language skills (limited background knowledge and rich vocabulary).Unless this student has some background knowledge, knowledge of the word, andlanguage comprehensionskills (LC) to connect to the word, they will not reach fullreading comprehension(RC). This is illustrated in the box to the right:
RC = WR x LC
0 = 1 x 0
No RC =Strong WRxNo
What needs to be done for Mrs. Nelson’s student so that she can achieve reading comprehension?
Vocabulary development - previewing the text to review new words; pre-teaching vocabulary; graphic organizers to connect new vocabulary to pre-existing knowledge
Background knowledge- facts, concepts, experiences, etc.
Vocabulary- breadth, precision, links
Language Structure- syntax, semantics
Verbal Reasoning- inference, metaphors
Literacy Knowledge- print concepts, genres
Language Comprehension
Phonological Awareness- syllables, phonemes, word awareness
Decoding- alphabetic principle, letter-sound correspondences
Sight Recognition- of familiar words
Word Recognition
Words that means the opposite of each other. Dark/Light and Neat /Messy
Antonyms
Not literal language
Figurative Language
Concept Mapping
Concept mapping is a visual representation of information that helps you organize and understand complex ideas.
Homograph Definition
homograph consists of two or more words that are spelled the same but have entirely different origins and meanings
The bow is on her hair.
He will bow to the queen.
