READING PROGRAMMES
There are a plethora of activities out there that can support the focus elements and skills to be learned for reading. I am including only a select few, utilising my programme structure as a basis.
You will find, regardless of how many programmes you work with,that they tend to contain the same generic elements, it's only the metalanguage (language used to talk about and describe the elements) that change,
If you note the elements of a READING programme, these include:
1. Oral language skills - students have a bank of vocabulary, even before attending school...
2. Phonemic Awareness - . (ability to hear that a spoken word - the link between oral language and written work)
3. Phonics learning the graphemes (letter representations, and the phonemes, sounds). ...
4. Vocabulary. - ...Vocabulary is an important tool,, as students tend to draw on their individual bank of vocabulary words in their writing. Their oral communication tends to demonstrate a more advanced level of vocabulary than their spelling capabilities may allow them to demonstrate.. Sight word vocabulary can aid in fluency development.
5. Fluency. - is built by strengthening the first four elements
6. Comprehension - a culmination of the other elements
You can find support materials for element numbers 2 to 4 on the Phonics, Spelling & Vocabulary page
I utilise metacognitive and mnemonic (memory) devices, as an embedded element in all my programmes, these approaches can help you connect elements and concepts in the larger scheme of things.
BOOKMARKS and UPPER Decoding strategies have been created by me and can be accessed via the PRODUCT page..
PLEASE NOTE, THE BEANIE BABY STRATEGIES ATTACHED ARE BASED ON THE WORK OF AN UNKNOWN AUTHOR.. If you know the author, and /or where these documents can be found (I downloaded them many years ago) please let me know and I will add the link rather than the actual document. - SOURCES UNKNOWN
My Reading Programme uses the above elements and metalanguage
Here are the COMPREHENSION strategies that will be covered on this site:
The above hyperlinks are restricted access
Reading & Decoding strategies (with Phonics/Phonemic awareness knowledge)
Decoding skills are also used in spelling and vocabulary activities
For lower level Decoding strategies, somewhere out there came up with a great idea to link the BEANIE BABY toys to the concepts.
Decoding strategies are all generic, again, just the approach and language changes!
