  • Alphabetic Principle
    Alphabetic Principle What is it? The alphabetic principle refers to the understanding that there are predictable and consistent relations between written letters and spoken sounds – the combination of letter knowledge and awareness. The 26 letters are the “key” to the English language. They have names, shapes, sounds, and go together to make words. Why is it important? Children's knowledge of letter names, shapes and sounds is a strong predictor of their success in learning to read. Knowing letter names is strongly related to children's ability to remember the forms of written words and their ability to treat words as sequences of letters. As this becomes internalized we will see writing and reading skills grow. Considerations: (what to think about?) • Be intentional with the purpose and clear with the expectations. “We are going to be learning about the letters of the alphabet. There are 26 letters (use the abc line to count together slowly while you touch them). You all have some of them in your names (check that out with their name cards). Letters have sounds and go together to make words. Your name is a word….” How cool is that!!” Make it interesting and meaningful. Revisit the learning often … “What letters do you know really well? Which ones are still tricky?” Kids can answer this! • Have 2 alphabet strips - one high to teach from and one low for students to access (have a special abc pointer to reach the high one when you teach from it). Have them run in one long line. • Be very explicit when talking about the alphabet and clear when enunciating.

  • Alphabetic Principle: Concepts and Research
    Alphabetic Principle: Concepts and Research The alphabetic principle is composed of two parts: • Alphabetic Understanding: Words are composed of letters that represent sounds. • Phonological Recoding: Using systematic relationships between letters and phonemes (letter-sound correspondence) to retrieve the pronunciation of an unknown printed string or to spell words. Phonological recoding consists of: o Regular Word Reading o Irregular Word Reading o Advanced Word Analysis Regular Word Reading A regular word is a word in which all the letters represent their most common sounds. Regular words are words that can be decoded (phonologically recoded). Because our language is alphabetic, decoding is an essential and primary means of recognizing words. There are simply too many words in the English language to rely on memorization as a primary word identification strategy (Bay Area Reading Task Force, 1997). Beginning decoding ("phonological recoding") is the ability to: • read from left to right, simple, unfamiliar regular words. • generate the sounds for all letters. • blend sounds into recognizable words. Beginning spelling is the ability to: • translate speech to print using phonemic awareness and knowledge of letter-sounds. Progression of Regular Word Reading Skills Sight Word Sounding Saying the Reading Automatic Out Whole Word (sounding out Word (saying (saying each the word in your Reading each individual sound head, if (reading the individual and pronouncing necessary, and word without sound out the whole word) saying the sounding it

  • Building the Alphabetic Principle in Young Children Who Are Deaf Or Hard of Hearing
    The Volta Review, Volume 109(2-3), Fall/Winter 2009, 87–119 Building the Alphabetic Principle in Young Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Jessica Page Bergeron , M.E.D. ; Amy R. Lederberg, Ph.D. ; Susan R. Easterbrooks, Ed.D. ; Elizabeth Malone Miller, M.S. ; and Carol McDonald Connor, Ph.D. Acquisition of phoneme-grapheme correspondences, a key concept of the alphabetic principle, was examined in young children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) using a semantic association strategy embedded in two interventions, the Children’s Early Intervention and Foundations for Literacy. Single-subject design experiments using multiple baselines across content were used to examine the functional relation- ship between student outcomes and the intervention provided. Only students who were able to identify spoken words were included in the studies. Study One was con- ducted with 5 children 3.10–7.10 years of age in oral or signing programs. Study Two was conducted with 5 children 3.10–4.5 years of age in an oral program. All children acquired taught phoneme-grapheme correspondences. These findings provide much- needed evidence that children who are DHH and who have some speech perception abilities can learn critical phoneme-grapheme correspondences through explicit audi- tory skill instruction with language and visual support.

  • 1 the Whole Language Approach to Reading
    1 The Whole Language Approach to Reading: An empiricist critique A revised version of: Hempenstall, K. (1996). The whole language approach to reading: An empiricist critique. Australian Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1(3), 22-32. Historically, the consideration of learning disability has emphasised within-person factors to explain the unexpected difficulty that academic skill development poses for students with such disability. Unfortunately, the impact of the quality of initial and subsequent instruction in ameliorating or exacerbating the outcomes of such disability has received rather less exposure until recently. During the 1980’s an approach to education, whole language, became the major model for educational practice in Australia (House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Education, and Training, 1992). Increasing controversy developed, both in the research community (Eldredge, 1991; Fields & Kempe, 1992; Gersten & Dimino, 1993; Liberman & Liberman, 1990; Mather, 1992; McCaslin, 1989; Stahl & Miller, 1989; Vellutino, 1991; Weir, 1990), and in the popular press (Hempenstall, 1994, 1995; Prior, 1993) about the impact of the approach on the attainments of students educated within this framework. In particular, concern was expressed (Bateman, 1991; Blachman, 1991; Liberman, Shankweiler, & Liberman, 1989; Yates, 1988) about the possibly detrimental effects on "at-risk" students (including those with learning disabilities). Whole language: History The whole language approach has its roots in the meaning-emphasis, whole-word model of teaching reading. Its more recent relation was an approach called "language experience" which became popular in the mid-1960's. The language experience approach emphasized the knowledge which children bring to the reading situation - a position diametrically opposed to the Lockian view of "tabula rasa" (the child's mind as a blank slate on which education writes its message).

  • Traditional Phonics, Whole Language, and Spelling Before
    A comparison of three approaches to literacy acquisition : traditional phonics, whole language, and spelling before reading by Roxanne L Sporleder A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Montana State University © Copyright by Roxanne L Sporleder (1998) Abstract: A quasi-experimental research design was used to compare three approaches to literacy acquisition in nine first-grade classrooms to determine if there was a significant difference in achievement in phoneme segmentation, reading, and spelling development at the end of twenty-one weeks of instruction. All nine classrooms within one school district with a total of 151 first-grade students received instruction in reading following the district curriculum guidelines and using a newly adopted literature-based reading series. The basal provided a wide variety of opportunities to read, write, and talk about meaning. In addition to the basic reading program, students in the nine classrooms received differentiating instruction. Three classrooms were introduced to phonics within the context of literature and learned spelling using word families. Three classrooms received direct instruction in phonics using a traditional approach to learning letter sounds, blending words, and reading short controlled texts. These also learned spelling using word families. Another three classrooms received instruction in the letter representations of phonemes with an emphasis on metacognition and spelling words before ever reading them. At the beginning of the school year, students were given baseline tests to identify phoneme segmentation skills, letter knowledge, spelling development and reading ability. At the end of twenty-one weeks, these same tests as well as the WRMT-R were administered.
