beginning literacy starts with reading competency.
- 00:05 - 00:09
Scientific research developments in language arts and
- 00:09 - 00:12
how do we recognize effective research.
- 00:14 - 00:16
Reading competency,
- 00:16 - 00:20
simple view of reading in an out understanding that fluent
- 00:20 - 00:24
word recognition is a vital aspect of reading competency,
- 00:25 - 00:27
readers must have strong decoding skills and
- 00:27 - 00:32
strong language skills to achieve strong reading comprehension
- 00:33 - 00:34
as teachers.
- 00:34 - 00:36
Our ultimate goal is for our students to
- 00:36 - 00:40
read with fluency and this leads to comprehension.
- 00:41 - 00:44
They build stockpiles of sight words.
- 00:44 - 00:47
These words students are able to identify instantly or
- 00:47 - 00:50
decode the words that they do not recognize.
- 00:50 - 00:53
They also build stockpiles of high frequency words.
- 00:53 - 00:57
These words occur most often in reading.
- 00:58 - 01:02
A common misconception is that sight words are words that are taught
- 01:02 - 01:06
as whole units because they do not follow some kind of phonics,
- 01:06 - 01:07
generalization
- 01:09 - 01:11
decoding skills.
- 01:12 - 01:15
six elements for beginning readers.
- 01:15 - 01:17
Oral language
- 01:17 - 01:19
phonological awareness,
- 01:19 - 01:21
concepts of print
- 01:21 - 01:23
letter sounds, association
- 01:23 - 01:25
analogies
- 01:25 - 01:27
away to think about words.
- 01:30 - 01:33
Alright, we're moving on to scientific research.
- 01:34 - 01:38
Scientific research has affected the practice of teaching reading
- 01:38 - 01:40
spelling and writing
- 01:40 - 01:42
in reading.
- 01:42 - 01:47
There's five characteristics of a scientifically based reading research,
- 01:47 - 01:50
interactive read aloud, shared reading
- 01:50 - 01:55
if anemic awareness, explicit and systematic phonics,
- 01:55 - 01:59
word study vocabulary and comprehension.
- 02:00 - 02:02
Alright, spelling,
- 02:03 - 02:05
explicit and systematic spelling,
- 02:05 - 02:07
instruction has been shown to improve
- 02:07 - 02:11
performance in reading fluency and comprehension.
- 02:12 - 02:14
Practicing spelling helps the students reading
- 02:14 - 02:18
ability more than practicing reading itself
- 02:19 - 02:20
onto riding.
- 02:21 - 02:23
When students can write down their brainstorming
- 02:23 - 02:26
ideas through the book they're reading,
- 02:26 - 02:29
they will be able to comprehend the text better.
- 02:32 - 02:36
Okay next will be recognized effective research.
- 02:37 - 02:43
How can we consume and recognize effective research in reading and spelling
- 02:44 - 02:46
in reading when we are reading?
- 02:46 - 02:49
We need to use different strategies to help the
- 02:49 - 02:53
kids comprehend and teach them how to comprehend books easier
- 02:54 - 02:56
Through visualizing while reading,
- 02:56 - 02:59
making connections throughout the story,
- 02:59 - 03:02
monitoring and clarifying,
- 03:02 - 03:06
making inference and predicting throughout the story,
- 03:06 - 03:09
identifying important information
- 03:09 - 03:13
generating and answering questions as we read the story,
- 03:14 - 03:15
summarizing and
- 03:15 - 03:16
synthesizing,
- 03:17 - 03:18
evaluating
- 03:21 - 03:22
in spelling.
- 03:22 - 03:26
Good spellers use a variety of strategies for spelling.
- 03:26 - 03:28
Spelling is encoding
- 03:28 - 03:30
the reverse of deep coding
- 03:31 - 03:33
in phonics.
- 03:34 - 03:36
We use phonetic sounds,
- 03:36 - 03:40
phonetics so we are sounding out words to be able to spell these words
- 03:41 - 03:44
rule based would be like the sound of joy.
- 03:45 - 03:49
It can be spelled with A J. With a G.
- 03:49 - 03:50
Or a D. G.
- 03:51 - 03:55
Visual would be visual memory of how to spell a word
- 03:56 - 03:57
morphy. Mick.
- 03:58 - 04:01
This is how the meaning of the word influences the spelling.
- 04:01 - 04:05
Like there's three ways to write the word there
- 04:06 - 04:06
there
- 04:07 - 04:10
they're and they're like they are
- 04:15 - 04:18
moving on to developments in language arts.
- 04:18 - 04:22
All Children developed language at different levels.
- 04:22 - 04:26
Children without oral language needs specific instruction
- 04:26 - 04:29
and activities to help develop their oral language
- 04:30 - 04:32
First is good language modeling.
- 04:33 - 04:36
Good language modeling provided by teachers,
- 04:36 - 04:40
reading aloud to students and discussing what they read.
- 04:42 - 04:48
Language lessons. Language lessons that model uses of language
- 04:48 - 04:50
using pictures to start a discussion
- 04:51 - 04:51
like
- 04:52 - 04:56
what is the picture of and the student might say it's a cat.
- 04:56 - 05:01
The teacher would then say yes it's a big gray cat.
- 05:01 - 05:04
What do you notice about the cat's face?
- 05:04 - 05:09
The Children may say um about its feelings. Maybe it looks scared
- 05:09 - 05:13
and the teacher would be like, yes, the cat looks scared. Then you could carry on.
- 05:13 - 05:15
Why do you think the cat is scared?
- 05:15 - 05:19
Do you think that his owner is making him go outside? Does he see a dog?
- 05:20 - 05:23
Um So you can just continue that discussion with just
- 05:23 - 05:27
this one picture and that helps develop their language skills.
- 05:29 - 05:32
Next is background experiences.
- 05:32 - 05:38
These experience, such as field trips, both real and virtual class visitors,
- 05:38 - 05:42
movies, videos, dvds and Youtube.
- 05:42 - 05:46
These would help expand the student's background knowledge and also
- 05:46 - 05:49
lead to great discussions about the topic you're studying.
- 05:51 - 05:55
Next opportunities in language in the classroom.
- 05:55 - 05:57
There are always many experiences.
- 05:57 - 06:02
The students can use their language skills in pre K kindergarten and
- 06:02 - 06:07
first grade students use these language skills during center time and playtime.
- 06:10 - 06:14
That concludes my presentation of beginning literacy
