Phonemic Awareness In Spoken Language

895 Words4 Pages

Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds in spoken words. Before children learn to read print, they need to become aware of how the sounds in words work. They must understand that words are made up of speech sounds, or phonemes. I would incorporate the Phonemic Awareness strategy in a kindergarten through third grade classroom by using the phoneme segmentation method and the phoneme identity method. The phoneme segmentation method is when the students break a word into its separate sounds, saying each sound as they tap out or count it. Then they write and read the word. For example, I would ask the students how many sounds are in the word fruit. The students would answer saying five sounds, …show more content…

It teaches children to use these relationships to read and write words. I would incorporate the Phonics strategy in a kindergarten through third grade classroom by using the phonics through spelling method and the synthetic phonics method. For the phonics through spelling method, the students will learn to segment words into phonemes and to make words by writing letters for phonemes. For the synthetic phonics method, the students will learn how to convert letters or letter combinations into sounds, and then how to blend the sounds together to form recognizable …show more content…

In general, vocabulary can be described as oral vocabulary or reading vocabulary. Oral vocabulary refers to words that we use in speaking or recognize in listening. Reading vocabulary refers to words we recognize or use in print. I would incorporate the Vocabulary strategy in a kindergarten through third grade classroom by getting the students to look up the meaning of a word in the dictionary and getting the students to understand the use of context clues and by getting the students. One of the easy ways for a student to learn what a word means is to look it up in a dictionary. When I was elementary school every classroom that I was in always had a classroom set of dictionaries and at least two computers. I know that times have changed and schools have more technology then they use to so a student could always pull out their tablet or iPad to look up the meaning of a word. When the students are reading a book or a piece from a textbook I could get them to pay attention to words that are around the word that they do not understand. For example, the students do not know what the word nutrition means. I could get the students to pay attention to the words surrounding commotion: food, healthy, and diet. These three words give the students a very strong clue as to what the word

In Dr. Louise Spear- Swerlings’ article, she stated that in Kindergarten through third grade, student should be taught five key elements for effective reading abilities, which are phonemic awareness, phonics knowledge, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Dr. Spear- Swerling, continued by saying phonic awareness is well develop in normally achieving reader by the end of first grade and by the end of third grade they should have acquired basic phonics knowledge. In addition to children excelling to become good readers, the instructions should be explicit and systematic, following a logical sequence of instruction. For instance, reading a decodable text that’s consisting of words with one syllable before advancing to an authentic text.

Cover up the vocabulary word with sticky notes, read the definition and ask the class to name the correct vocabulary word. Step 6: Connect • Ask students to think of something that can be divided into three equal groups. Tell students to think of a time that they had to split a certain number of items with their friends. Maybe they had to split a packet of stickers, Pokémon cards, gel-pens, smelly erasers, a bag of cookies, a box of beads.

Evidence-based phonological awareness instruction is instruction in which students are working with sounds. For example, students may work on rhyming such as with the words cat, bat, and hat. Phonological awareness is mostly focused on listening for the sound of words, and not on written words. In other words, phonological awareness instruction supports students in paying attention to how different sounds and words are made before they start working with printed words. Additionally, phonological awareness instruction is important because it helps children learn how to read.

This weeks, Chapter 5 was about discussing the different tactics that we as future educators, can use to help our students with achieving word recognition. Chapter 5’s main focus was strictly based on word recognition and phonics. The book lists different strategies for word recognition. These include: To develop a store of words that may be recognizable that is immediately on sight, by making the use of context clues that is surrounded, by a word, able to decode a word strictly, through phonics or sound-symbol associations, using structural analysis or even uses the part of the word to provide clues for recognition, and lastly, using a dictionary to look up words. Being able to use both semantic and syntactic clues can be very helpful.

After we completed the guided reading section we worked with words. During our working with words lesson, Reid worked on both phonics and sight words skills. For phonics, we used clips cards and sorting as our main strategies. With these two strategies, we changed them around to meet the needs of the student. We used sorting for r-controlled vowels, identifying lowercase ‘b’ and ‘d’, and sorting vowel sounds.

in question allows the student to become familiar with the word, the object it refers to, and its pronunciation. In the past, I have seen some vocabulary terms also written on the board (sometimes with a drawing of the object the word refers to). This also allows students to know how the word is spelt. I 'm not sure if the majority of these words can be taught in the traditional, academic sense of "explicitly teaching" it. The seven steps of teaching vocabulary terms we learned may not be as applicable in this classroom.

Vocabulary Strategies Even before entering elementary school, youngsters learn environment print, which is the print that they see in the outside world. These youngsters recognize the logos and therefore learn what these logos represent providing a false sense that they are “reading”. Despite being able to tell you what something is by the logos themselves, they are not really reading. Literacy, on the other hand, is the ability to learn to write and read and is taught at a young age, usually when a child enters school. Once in school, a child learns how to manipulate words in a variety of ways also known as phonemic awareness; phonics, where they use discriminative listening to make the connections between speech and sounds; phonological

Analogy phonics: Teaching students unfamiliar words by analogy to known words (e.g., recognizing that the rime segment of an unfamiliar word is identical to that of a familiar word, and then blending the known rime with the new word onset, such as reading brick by recognizing that -ick is contained in the known word kick, or reading stump by analogy to jump). • Phonics through spelling: Teaching students to segment words into phonemes and to select letters for those phonemes (i.e., teaching students to spell words phonemically). CHAPTER 2 Literature Review 2.1 Introduction: The term phonics during the 19th century and into the 1970s was used as a synonym of phonetics. The use of the term in reference to the method of teaching is dated to 1901 by the OED.

There will be children who have a good phonological awareness while there would be some who lacks understanding of the sound structure of language, hence, requiring an individual or group setting for establishing phonological awareness skills. Hence, through focused observation of all the students and their assessment, teachers can determine the needs of the children and what level of knowledge or support is required for them. The assessment of the knowledge of phonological awareness of the students and their individual needs should be based on their ability to play with different parts of the word, i.e., blending, segmenting, substituting, and deleting. This wordplay takes place at different stages of complexity, i.e., rhymes, syllables, sounds, or words. Therefore, by clearly demonstrating the children’s capability of performing this wordplay, different methods can be utilized for generating the phonological awareness amongst the students as per their individualistic needs and deficiencies.

According to Nagy (1998), in the article “Teaching Vocabulary to Improve Reading Comprehension,” in order to produce vocabulary growth what is needed is “more reading” and “not more vocabulary instruction” (Bintz, 2011, p. 3). Moreover, a major tenet of vocabulary development is that vocabulary is better produced through a context-dependent activity (such as reading, where the vocabulary is learned and engaged in context) rather than traditional methods of directly teaching vocabulary terms and definitions in isolation of a context. However, as the National Institute of Literacy (2007) acknowledges in What Content-Area Teachers Should Know About Adolescent Literacy, there is “not a single best way to teach vocabulary...rather a variety of techniques

First one is that activities should be appropriate children`s age level. Second one is that instruction should be purposeful and third one is that activities and materials should be integrated with other components of a balanced literacy programs. A teacher can teach identifying words, categorizing words, substituting sounds, blending sounds, and segmenting sounds by doing age appropriate activities with children. Teachers assess children by using screening test to determine the level of their knowledge about phonemic awareness and they use instruction assessment cycle are planning, monitoring, evaluation, and reflection. Phonemic awareness is important to learn how to read and it is prerequisite.
