Phonics Research Bibliography Phonics instruction is a very important aspect of early childhood education. Phonemic awareness and phonics are the foundation of an individual’s success in reading and comprehension. Without proficiency in phonics, a student can quickly fall behind and lack the skills needed to be successful as they continue through their education. With phonics having a large effect on a student’s overall success, it is crucial that effective phonics approaches are implemented in elementary classrooms across our country. The following research examines various aspects of phonics as a whole and instruction methods that have been proven to be most effective. Each article provides information of importance that …show more content…

The author begins by sharing a first-hand experience of a student with dyslexia falling behind in literacy by second grade, even while placed in a multi-tiered system of support. The author explores why a structured literacy approach would be beneficial for this student by stating the key features of SL. According to Spear-Swerling (2018), the key features include: explicit and systematic instruction, cumulative practice, ongoing review, student-teacher interaction, use of examples and nonexamples, decodable text, and effective feedback(pg.2). The author stresses that the instruction should be explicit and systematic, meaning that the teacher should teach and then have students practice, but it should all be done in a sequence that is logical with skills in …show more content…

The knowledge of the different phases allows us to understand that phonics should be taught explicitly and systematically for true understanding. Partial alphabetic phase is important because it is a foundation for blending and decoding, the students begin to understand relations and differences between letters and sounds. The article then describes many ways that phonemic awareness and knowledge of the alphabetic principle are crucial for students learning to blend and decode in phonics. This article shares that phonemic awareness and phonics are complimentary and phonemic awareness sets the foundation for successful phonics instruction. In return, phonics instruction will enhance students’ phonemic awareness

Phonics Document for Balanced Literacy Handbook How to teach children to read is a controversial subject. In the United States there have been Reading Wars between proponents of the Phonics approach versus the Whole Language approach. In an article written by Martin Cothran he writes about the history of phonics. Teaching of Phonics in the United States dates back to the very first school text: the New England Primer, published in 1690. The first challenges to the phonetic approach came from people like Benjamin Franklin and Noah Webster who wanted to reform English spelling partly to iron out some of the language’s irregularities.

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.

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.

Cuomo effectively reinforces phoneme awareness by activating the students’ prior knowledge of other vowel-consonant-e words, such as /ae/ in the word snake. Hence, the students practice previously learned phonemes to reduce struggle while also allowing them to use said phonemes as an additional tool to learn the /ie/ phoneme. To effectively teach students the written language system (i.e., orthography) for the /ie/ phoneme, Cuomo tries to prioritize the letter order to learn the phoneme-grapheme sequence (Moats, 2020). For instance, to spell the word bike, she has her students write the letters i and e first with a blank space before the i and

Whole language, on the other hand, tends to be beneficial for tactile and visual learners. Meaning is constructed through the written word and expressed through writing. Advocates of whole language claim that phonics is simply word recognition and the meaning of words is left to chance. Though both methods have seen success throughout the years, choosing just one to use in the classroom will nearly always leave some students behind, which is why a third method has been coming into favor over the last few years: balanced literacy instruction. Balanced literacy, as the name implies, attempts to strike a balance between whole language and phonics,

Extensive research has informed the teaching of reading with ‘great debates’ (ref) providing opposing views either reading as a whole text (analytical) or as teaching decoding of individual words (synthesising) as a skill to reading – phonics. Whilst the two approaches both need the child to have a phonological awareness – ‘the ability to perceive, recall and manipulate sounds and specifically within language’ (Jolliffe et al, 2015, p. 2) the analytical approach to reading involves the pupils inferring the identity of the new word through the recognition of the letters at the beginning and end of the word which can be supported through clues from the remainder of the sentence or through pictorial representations – a word to part strategy.

Phonemic Awareness and Phonics As a ESL student, I learned a lot information to teach young students to read, pronounce letters and words. “English is an alphabetic language, and children learn crack this code as they learn about phonemes (sound), graphemes (letters), and graph phonemic (letter-sound) relationship (Tompkins, p.103). My first language`s letters sounds never changed, but in English it changes when different letters come together for example “sh”, “ch” and words are cat and cent. When you read these word, sound is changing first letter of words even same letter.
