1 Early Literacy Essentials For The SLP: Practical Intervention and Consultation Strategies That Work Presented for the: 2015 Convention Columbus, Ohio March 19th, 2015 Steven M. Griffin, M.A. CCC SLP Director of Literacy and Reading Intervention Reynoldsburg City School District, Reynoldsburg Ohio Big Five Ideas In Reading 1. Phonemic Awareness* 2. Alphabetic Principle* Basic Code Advanced Code 3. Fluency* 4. Vocabulary 5. Comprehension (14 of 72) Subskills Necessary to Reading Information obtained from Reading Reflex by Carmen and Geoffrey McGuiness. 1. Ability to scan text from left to right. 2. Ability to match visual symbols to auditory sounds, such as the symbol <t> = the sound /t/. 3. Ability to blend discrete sound units into words. 1

2 Subskills Necessary to Reading (Continued) 4. Ability to segment words into sounds. 5. Ability to understand that sometimes two or more letters represent a sound. 6. Ability to understand that most sounds can be represented in more than one way. 7. Ability to understand that some components of the alphabetic code can represent more than one sound.

9 Correcting Problems/Error Handling Student Might Need Practice Saying Sounds As They Map Them Don t let students map silently. Encourage students to say sounds as they write letters. Help by saying sounds as they write them. Children need to see and hear the symbols linked to letters/letter combinations. Correcting Problems/Error Handling Student Might Have Difficulty Decoding Words. If students have difficulty blending the sounds together, say sounds for them. If they still have difficulty, may need more blending practice. Correcting Problems/Error Handling Student Might Read Sound Pictures Incorrectly Say the correct sounds in isolation as you point to each sound picture correctly. Have student read the word again, correctly. 9

10 Correcting Problems/Error Handling Student Might Guess At Words Do Not Guess. Read the Word! Glad/Glow Must look at all the letters. If this was glad it would show g l a d.

12 Phonological Awareness vs. Phonemic Awareness vs. Phonics? When you think phonological awareness, think ears. Phonological awareness is independent of print. When you think phonics, think eyes and ears. It involves print AND sound. You can have phonological awareness without phonics, but you can t have phonics without phonological awareness. 12

13 Standard Rationale According to Gillon (2004), Phoneme awareness performance is a strong predictor of long term reading and spelling success and can predict literacy performance more accurately than variables such as intelligence, vocabulary knowledge, and socioeconomic status Reading Comprehension Reading Fluency Reading Decoding (CLS, WWR) Phonemic Awareness 13

14 Reading Comprehension Reading Fluency Reading Decoding Phonemic Awareness Review Subskills Necessary for Reading 1. Ability to hear, identify & manipulate phonemes. 2. Ability to match visual symbols to auditory sounds, such as the symbol <t> to the sound /t/. 3. Ability to blend discrete sound units into words. 4. Ability to segment words into sounds.

Assuming you cannot read MS words? The of the a.they saw the need for a strong. At the same time, they did not want to take away all from the states. Like most, they that state would the needs and of their. Hall. The American Nation (1994) published by Prentice 21

22 Here s What You Missed! The framers of the Constitution faced a difficult conflict. They saw the need for a strong national government. At the same time, they did not want to take away all power from the states. Like most Americans, they believed that state governments would better understand the special needs and concerns of their citizens. Hall. The American Nation (1994) published by Prentice Necessary Pre Skills 1. Prefixes 2. Suffixes 3. Vowel sounds and combinations 4. Blending letters and syllables 5. Language 6. Vocabulary What is REWARDS? A researched validated program. To teach intermediate and secondary students a strategy for decoding multisyllabic words. A program that increases students oral and silent reading fluency. A short term intervention. 22

23 Who Is It Designed For? Students who: Are in 4 th through 12 th grades. Have mastered skills associated with 1 st and 2 nd grade. Have difficulty reading long words. This program is appropriate for struggling students reading between the 2.5 and 5.0 grade level and/or Have poor Fluency. This program is appropriate for students who read grade level materials slowly ( words per minutes) After Participating in REWARDS Students Will Decode previously unknown multisyllabic words containing two to eight word parts. Accurately read more multisyllabic words within sentences. Accurately read more multisyllabic words found in content texts and class materials. Have an expanded vocabulary. Read narrative and expository text accurately and fluently. Experience increased comprehension as accuracy, fluency and vocabulary increases. Have more confidence in their reading ability. Why Explicitly Teach Multi Syllabic Words? Word recognition skills are the most pervasive and debilitating source of reading challenges. The ability to decode long words is the major difference between good and poor readers. Poor decoders, even those who can decode single syllable words, have a difficult time with multisyllabic words. (Just & Carpenter, 1987) Low decoders Pronounce fewer affixes and vowel sounds correctly Disregard large portions of letter information Two to four times as likely to omit syllable 23

24 Why Explicitly Teach Multi Syllabic Words? Many new words in intermediate and secondary materials. From fifth grade on, average students encounter approximately 10,000 words that they have never previously encountered in print. (Nagy & Anderson, 1984) Most of these new words are longer words having two or more syllable. The longer words are often content words that carry the meaning of the passage. Why Explicitly Teach Multisyllabic Words? Decoding instruction often ends in second grade. Unfortunately, the number of multi syllabic words begins to dramatically increase in third grade. Students need a flexible strategy for pronouncing long words. No relationship exists between knowledge of syllabication rules and successful reading.

29 A boy named Tom was at the bus stop. He was waiting for the school bus. There was no one there but him. The bus was late. Tom began to talk to himself. "Maybe the bus forgot me," he said. Then Tom heard a dog barking. He looked up and saw his dog, Spot, running down the road. Spot ran to Tom. He was so happy to see Tom that he jumped into Tom's arms. Just then, Tom heard the bus coming. He didn't have time to take Spot home. There was no time to think. Tom grabbed Spot and hid him under his coat. The bus pulled up to Tom's bus stop. Tom got on the bus and went to the back. His friend Jack had saved a seat for him. Just as Tom sat down, a little yelp came from under his coat. "What do you have under there, Tom?" asked Jack. "If I tell you, do you promise not to tell?" replied Tom. "You bet. I'm your best friend, aren't I?" asked Jack. Tom told Jack what had happened. He asked his friend what he should do. Jack had an idea. "You can tell the teacher you have something very cool for show and tell. Then you could call your mom and have her come and pick up Spot." Tom decided that's what he would do. His teacher was surprised. His mom was mad, but Spot was very happy Licensed to Slate Ridge Elementary For the School Year DN A boy named Grade 1, Passage 4 Copyright 2001 Edformation, Inc All Rights Reserved.
