More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This inservice professional development module, part of the Alabama Reading Initiative, presents research summaries, notes for presenters, and activities. The Phonemic Awareness and Phonics module clarifies that skilled readers are accurate and automatic decoders (i.e., they have the alphabetic principle). Phonics instruction must empower all learners to be both accurate and automatic. Accurate and automatic decoders are then able to become fluent readers whose minds are “free” to concentrate on building meaning. Any student who is not an accurate and automatic decoder and/or who does not spell well can benefit from phonics instruction. Sections of the module, and associated objectives, are: (1) “Phonological Awareness and Assessment of Decoding Skill” (know how to recognize, count, segment, blend, and manipulate the phonemes of any English words; and know how to assess decoding skill and to use this information to guide instruction); (2) “Phonics Instruction and Decodable Texts” (how to recognize, secure, and use decodable texts; how to teach blending; how to provide systematic, explicit phonics instruction; how to facilitate the decoding of multisyllabic words; how to integrate phonics instruction in the context of an integrated reading lesson format; how to respond to oral reading errors in ways that are

appropriate to the nature of the error, the purpose of that particular lesson, and the needs of the learner at the moment; and how to develop fluency in reading through use of decodable texts, extensive amounts of reading, multiple re-reading of printed material, and reading at independent and instructional levels); and (3) “Teaching Spelling” (how to teach spelling in ways that enhance decoding, strengthen visual imagery, and give appropriate emphasis to spelling rules and patterns). Appendixes contain English phonemes and example words; a glossary of terms; a list of phonemic awareness resources and decodable text resources; and a blank form for timed reading. (RS
