Differences in Learning to Read
Able to read:
Learn with ease:
Learn with support:
Learn with intensive support:
Have pervasive reading disabilities:Adapted by B. Bursuck based on Lyon, 1998
Teach phonemic awareness skills early.
Teach sound-spelling associations explicitly and systematically
Teach sounding out and blending directly.
Use decodable text for practice.
Read good literature to students for language comprehension. Use the “big 5”: Phonemic Awareness , Phonics ,
Vocabulary, Fluency and Comprehension + (oral language proficiency).
Teaching At-Risk Children To Read
Felton & Lillie, 2001
Targeted InstructionFocus on Learning
Explicit – nothing is left to chance; all skills are taught directly
Systematic – sequential steps are followed to take the student from limited or no mastery to complete mastery of a skill
Direct – The teacher defines and teaches a concept, guides students through its application, and arranges for extended guided practice until mastery is achieved
Strategic – teaching students efficient ways to acquire, store and express information and skills
(FCRR Glossary of terms, 2005)
Phonemic Awareness Instruction
Phoneme Blending- listening to separate phonemes and combining them to form a word What word is /p/ /e/ /n/ ?
Phoneme Segmentation-breaking a word into separate sounds How many sounds are in the word: flag?
Phoneme Deletion-recognizing the word that remains when a phoneme is removed from the word What is farm without the /f/ ?
Phoneme Substitution-substituting one phoneme for another to make a new word The word is sip. Change the /p/ to /t/. What is
the new word?
Phonics Instruction
“Phonics instruction teaches children the relationship between the letters of written language and the individual sounds of spoken language”
“The goal of phonics is to help children learn and use the alphabetic principle…the understanding that there are systematic and predictable relationships between written letters and spoken sounds.”
Systematic and Explicit Phonics Instruction
Improves word recognition and spelling for students in grades K-1
Improves reading comprehension
Is effective for students from varying social and economic levels
Increases reading skills in students who are having difficulty learning to read
Most effective when introduced early
Should not stand alone as the entire reading program

Semantic Memory “I tell, you choose
to remember.” Episodic Memory“I give you meaningful experiences, and you
remember, whether you meant to or not.”
LEP InterventionsConvince Students That They Can
I went to the store the other. Day with my mom. And. I had a great time with. Her because she bought me some. Chocolate.
Are you sure your periods are in the correct place?
Teach to the Student’s Learning Style
Multiple Modalities-movement, physical, tactile, hands-on…-illustrations, diagrams, realia notes…-verbal representations, student-made definitions, dialogue, games

I Know a Little Hermit Crab!(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
I know a little hermit crab who lives by the sea,
Whenever I go out there, he takes a stab at me.
Out come his pinchers to nab my toe,But he never gets to grab me ‘cause
he’s so slow! -ab Song Cherry Carl, 2004
What is Mnephonics?
Mnemonic devices
Punctuation
Mnemonics + phonics = mnephonics
Developed by Alisha Das
“During the 2001-2002 school year, I had an LEP student with vision problems. He began to learn to associate sounds/symbols and connect these with words/meanings using this method. It was amazing! After only 1 week, he was able to identify the letters in his name and several words. He was also able to write them correctly! This was so amazing because NOTHING else had worked. When my assistant and I used this method, we were so amazed we actually cried! For the first time, this student began to show progress and was actually learning!!!!”

What can we do?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we had something that could trigger their mind to read and spell correctly without interferences…
