In recent years the field of reading has changed dramatically and many reading instructors have divided between phonic instruction and whole language. spent several programs that fall to a reading of the two fields have millions advertising the merits of the two.
The simple truth of the matter is that education is best read using a combination of both strategies. And more and more reading research has shown that phonemic awareness does notSimply phonetics is crucial to ensure reading success, especially for pupils with learning difficulties.
But what makes it so confusing for many parents and carers is that the term "phonemic awareness" is the most often and thrown into so many different ways. phonemic awareness about the structure of words, but their meaning. To understand the construction of our written code, the players must be in the position to check the spelling to reflect soundCorrespondence. To understand the written word, beginning readers must first have some understanding that the words of sounds (phonological awareness) are more calm their understanding of each word as a single indivisible sound stream.
The development of this awareness can not be achieved in a simple step but rather over time. It 'also important to note that these skills are actually reading. Children do not need to recognize some of these elements on the pagebut after the hearing.
Stages of phonological development toward the final goal deep phonemic awareness can include:
~ Recognition that sentences made of words
~ Recognition that words can rhyme and the ability to rhyme
~ Recognition that words down into syllables, and this ability can be broken
~ Recognition that words can be divided into attack and rhymes and the ability to do this can be broken
~ Recognition that words begin with the sameSound & the ability to make these games
~ Recognition that words with the same sound and the ability to make these games end
~ Recognition that words have the same medial sound (s) and have the ability to make these games
~ Recognition that words down into individual phonemes and the ability to do this can be broken
~ The knowledge that must be deleted from words to new words and the ability to make noise
~ Ability to combine sounds to makeWords
~ Ability to segment words into their constituent sounds
phonemic awareness is more complex than the simple, but the auditory discrimination, the ability to understand the cat and the mat are different words it is not. To describe the way in which they relate and how they had a different level of phonemic awareness. Young children are usually not invited to consider this at a different level than their meaning, although the experience can be rhymed with the first signs ofChildren to play with the structure of words.
Learn to recognize and play with rhyme often develop phonemic awareness beginning for many children. be aware that words can have such a final sound, an important step in learning to read. Sensitivity to rhyme makes both a direct and indirect contribution to reading.
Directly, it helps children appreciate that words, the common rule sounds like common sequences of letters. Later exposure tocommon letter sequences then makes a substantial contribution to the development of reading strategy.
Indirectly, the recognition of rhyming word analysis of refining, by promoting greater intra-word segments (such as rhyme) to analysis at the level of phonemes (the key requirement for reading).
Studies show a strong correlation between the ability to rhyme at the age of three years and performance in reading and writing three years later. A number of studies have reinforced the value ofas the first contact with rhyming games.
Rhyme and phoneme awareness are related. Studies have shown that children who are capable of good discrimination step also score high on tests of phonemic awareness. From the pass can be an important source of information in the speech signal as well, sensitivity to small changes in frequency, as is the recognition of phonemes, an important aspect of the success of the first reading. These results raise the interestingPossibility that musical training can prepare one of those reading, home-based experiences that help to represent the marked individual differences in phonemic awareness with which children start school.
So what do you teach? Techniques, the target phoneme awareness usually direct instruction in segmenting words into sounds that compose it, identifying sounds in different positions in the word (initial, middle, end), unless otherwise specified beginning or ending in the same tone, andManipulate the sounds in the words of a word to say, without beginning or end of the sound.
Most of the phoneme awareness activities should not exceed 15 or 20 minutes. Even if a particular activity can be selected well in advance, the specific terms for specific awareness of phonemes are familiar with the material your child will be selected - as a book you recently read together or a game or a family outing. Phoneme awareness measures are a natural extension ofshared reading activities.
A natural and spontaneous way, children with exposure to phonemes is to focus on literature, which seems to have fun with language through rhyme. Simple rhyme patterns are easily recalled after repeated exposure, and children will have the idea of creating new rhymes. In "There's a Wocket in My Pocket" (Seuss, 1974), the first sounds of everyday objects are like a child talks about the strange creatures around the house, such as the replacement of Zampthe lamp. "The children of their own strange creatures in the class as" sugar in my book. "
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonants of words, as presented in the book "alphabet" Faint Frogs Feeling fever and "other tongue twisters enormously attractive."
Assonance, the repetition of vowel sounds in words is often combined with rhyme, as in "It rains and hails and shakes the sails" of "sheep on board the ship ora humorous way, "The toot Tooter tried two tooters educators" in "Moses thought his toes are roses." Some music books to go with the rhymes, like "Down by the Bay", in which two children try to, to outdo each other making on issues that rhyme, like "Have you ever seen a moose kissing a goose?"
Spend some time browsing the children's section of the library or through your child at home shelves for books that can happily watch the language. Read andRead the story and comment on the use of language, and encourage the provisions of the sound, word and sentence patterns (eg, "That sound you hear at the beginning of all this?") And invent new versions of the models language are used, the stories.
The research not only has a predictive relationship between phoneme awareness and reading success, but also a causal relationship has been demonstrated. Phoneme awareness that a positive impact on reading can be developed in childrenthrough systematic training. Education for awareness of phonemes should be a priority for those who are interested in improving early education and reading in reducing reading failure demonstrated.
Some other activities include:
Making Word Family Charts: Charts can contain words from a story or brainstorming a list of children. Children can dictate the words are placed on a word family chart. When you write / sound knowledge to start developing, you can copy or write wordsthemselves. You can "create" magnetic letters, word for word family chart. Enter a chant of plastic letters (for example) and the children take turns placing different letters in the onset of conditions, new words (eg, hat, bat, sat, rat) to prepare. These diagrams can be used as reference cards (that children can make their own household word reference book) for spelling and creative writing.
Odd word out: four words, three of which are presented rhyme (eg zveed,Bead, pill, seed). The child determines which word is not strange that belongs to others. The game of concentration or memory is a good exercise for reconnaissance activities rhyme.
Alliteration: Alliteration sound character can be introduced using naturally and in connection with the selection of a particular sound, that the books we talk about other issues, or alphabetically. For example, "smiling snakes sipping strawberry drinks" for the letter Alphabet St. Eis useful for creating or delivering images to represent these sounds personalities and their positions will be introduced any. A natural connection can sometimes fly between sound and writing, and presents a framework made of "Sammy snake" in the shape of the letter S or "Buzzy Bee" designed in a model of writing easier Z. In addition to providing a label Talk about sounds, provide the images, even correcting the references to children affected by the initial sound isolation andSound-to-word matching activities.
Counting: To count the syllables in words, actions are used, such as clapping hands, tapping the desk, or marching in place to the syllables of the names of children (Ma-ry), items in close proximity (window) , or words to a favorite story (wi-shy, shy-wa). First, two-syllable words can selectively building up to three.
Sound synthesis, sound synthesis, the following sequence: mixing a first note onRest of a word, blending the syllables of a word together, and then blending isolated phonemes into a word followed. A model of this mixing sound before a word with the jingle "It starts with / s / and ends with ight, put it together and it is said at night." Once they have the idea to provide children with the last word. An element of tension can have names of children for this activity and asked to identify each child and to say his name when you createpresented: "It starts with / m / and ends with Ary, put together and says ------." Context, limiting the words to objects that can be seen in the hall or words from one particular story the children just read are made available. When children speak, they can either be mixed with the jingle to present their own words.
Sound-to-Word Matching: Requires the child to recognize the sound at the beginning of a word. Awareness of the initial sound of a word can be doneShow the children a picture (dog) and ask the children the right word to identify the three "E 'A / mmm /-og, a / d / e / d /-og, or a / SSS / -? og "is a detour to wonder if the word has a particular sound:" There is a / d / in dog? This can then be set to "that sounds like a dog starts with / d /, / sh / or / 1 / ? This sequence encourages the children to try to see the three onsets with the rime, which is incorrect. The simplest is that continuants can be exaggerated and prolongedto increase the audio input. Iteration should be used with stop consonants, to add weight.
