Reading, writing and spelling
➢Secondary language skills
➢Build on speaking & listening
➢Need instruction & oral language skills
Reading comprehension relies on
Vocabulary
Reading skill
Phonological skill
Reading comprehension and accuracy
Positively correlated in early reading acquisition
Automatic reading gives resources to comprehension
3
- Vocabulary breadth & depth
- Morphology eg. Plays playing
- Syntax
Building more vocabulary builds up
How good you are at reading, how much you enjoy reading
Equation
Reading = Decoding x Comprehension
Development
A)
B)
A) Word reading = word recognition and decoding
B) word reading = recognition, decoding and vocabulary for meaning
How do we read?
Strategies (5)
➢Recognise Letters (memory) ➢Decode Sounds (grapheme-phoneme) ➢Analogise to known words ➢Predict words from grapho-phonemic context ➢Memory & Semantic Context
Words that look similar and learn from them is called
Analogise to known words strategy
Starting to build up networks in brain is called
Memory and semantic context strategy
Phonological Awareness is
Awareness of sounds in words
Examples of phonological Awareness
Pen Pipe
Is there a /n/ sound?
Do they begin the same?
Do they rhyme with “Ten”?
What is the first sound
What / how many sounds can you hear in the words?
What do these sounds make?
What do you get if you remove the /p/ sound from Pen?
Writing
What goes into it?
Visual communication Mapping symbols to language units Limited number of symbols >> ➢Ambiguities ➢Limits features represented
Conrad 2008
Effect of practise
Word-specific transfer across skill: Proportion of practice words read and spelled correctly by both readers and spellers.
Group of kids being trained in reading
Group of kids being trained in spelling
Readers being good in reading but not good spelling
Spellers were as good as spelling as they were in reading
Uneven relationship between the two
Spelling important when learning to read
Models of reading and spelling development
➢Coltheart Dual Route Cascaded Model
➢Frith Stages model
➢Ehri Phases model
➢Gentry Spelling
What is Colthearts et al 2001 model
Dual route cascaded model
Coltheart et al 2001
Dual route cascaded model
Routes
➢Lexical Semantic ➢Lexical non-semantic ➢Grapheme-Phoneme Conversion (GPC) Units (e.g. letters) within each part Excitation & inhibition Turning written words into speech
Lexical semantic route
Like a dictionary
Activated when flows
Lexicons
Dual route cascaded model
Early readers
- Letter units
- GP system set up
