Background The essence of phonics is to give students a means to associate sounds with letters and letter combinations so students can pronounce a word that is not recognized at sight. If the pronoun- ciation can be related to a word in the students’ experiences, there is a connection with meaning. Phon ics only helps students read (understand) words for which they already have meaning. For example, if the student sounds yyy-eeeg and says yegg, but has no meaning for the word, phonics is of little value. Fortunately, however, students have meanings for many words, and if they can decode a word, they are often able to associate meaning with the word, especially in the first few years of school. Using phonics, or the sounds people assign to letters and letter combinations, is one way stu- dents can pronounce unfamiliar words. The value of phonics should not be underestimated. Phon ics is one of the cueing systems readers use for words that are not in their sight vocabulary. Unfortunately, the teaching of phonics has been the topic The value of phonics should of controversy for decades. An examination of the research literature con- not be underestimated. cerning phonics instruction by the National Reading Panel (2000) led to the finding that “systematic phonics instruction enhances children’s success in learning to read and . is significantly more effective than instruction that teaches little or no phonics” (p. 9). It is our belief that phonics should be an important founda- tion of a quality reading program, and it should be taught as one of the strategies readers can use when they want to identify an unfamiliar word.

Forty-nine, 2nd graders (26 skilled and 23 less skilled readers) partici- pated in this study. They were tested with two experiments assessing their processing of isolated real word and pseudoword pairs as well as their reading comprehension skills. Findings suggest that there is a significant difference between skilled and less skilled readers both with regard to their word processing skills and their reading comprehension skills. In addition, findings suggest that word processing skills and reading comprehension skills correlate positively both skilled and less skilled readers.

DESCRIPTORS *Beginning Reading; Classroom Research; *Classroom Techniques; Learning Activities; *Learning Processes; *Literacy; Primary Education; Word Recognition IDENTIFIERS Lesson Structure; *Orthography; Phonological Awareness; *Reading Recovery Projects; Word Learning ABSTRACT This article takes a look at Reading Recovery lesson elements to compare the teaching and learning within the lesson components to several areas of learning that have been identified at the national level as important to children's literacy learning. The lesson elements examined in the article are: (1) phonological awareness; (2) orthographic awareness; and (3) word learning in reading and writing. The article states that the first two areas of knowledge, and the way they are interrelated, contribute to young children's growth in the ability to solve words while reading for meaning, while the third area strongly supports learning in the first two areas and also helps to accelerate early learning in literacy. These elements together contribute to the child's development of a larger process in which the reader uses "in-the-head" strategies in an efficient way to access and orchestrate a variety of information, including meaning and language systems, with the visual and phonological information in print.

  • 2010 Metolius Climbing 2
    2010 METOLIUS CLIMBING 2 It’s shocking to think that it’s been twenty-five years since we cranked up the Metolius Climbing machine, and 2010 marks our 25th consecutive year in business! Wow! Getting our start in Doug Phillips’ tiny garage near the headwaters of the Metolius River (from where we take our name), none of us could have envisioned where climbing would be in 25 years or that we would even still be in the business of making climbing gear. In the 1980s, the choices one had for climbing equipment were fairly limited & much of the gear then was un-tested, uncomfortable, inadequate or unavailable. Many solved this problem by making their own equipment, the Metolius crew included. 3 (1) Smith Rock, Oregon ~ 1985 Mad cranker Kim Carrigan seen here making Much has changed in the last 2 ½ decades since we rolled out our first products.

  • Reading Recovery and Common Core State Standards Are Closely Interconnected Within Each Lesson
    Reading Recovery can play a vital role in ensuring that students are able to meet the goals of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (the Standards). Because the Standards were created to help ensure that all students are college and career ready in literacy by the end of high school, early literacy intervention must be available for first graders who are already struggling with literacy learning. Early intervention has the potential to prevent literacy difficulties for many students, including English language learners, by quickly catching them up with their peers by the end of Grade 1, and thus providing the opportunity to benefit from instruction at every subsequent grade level. Reading Recovery is a research- and evidence-based intervention that brings 75% of the students with a Reading Recovery full intervention to the average performance of their and Common Core grade level.1 A review by the USDE’s What Works Clearinghouse provided high ratings for the intervention State Standards across four domains central to the Common Core State Standards: alphabetics, fluency, comprehension, and general reading achievement.2 Standards in the early grades provide foundational support for the College and Career Readiness Standards.

PARSON DR. KRISTEN MCCAULIFF - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2017 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: “I Know That We the New Slaves”: An Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’s Yeezus. STUDENT: Margaret Parson DEGREE: Master of Arts COLLEGE: College of Communication Information and Media DATE: May 2017 PAGES: 108 This work utilizes an Illusion of Life method, developed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001) to analyze the 2013 album Yeezus by Kanye West. Through analyzing the lyrics of the album, several major arguments are made. First, Kanye West’s album Yeezus creates a new ethos to describe what it means to be a Black man in the United States. Additionally, West discusses race when looking at Black history as the foundation for this new ethos, through examples such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nina Simone’s rhetoric, references to racist cartoons and movies, and discussion of historical events such as apartheid. West also depicts race through lyrics about the imagined Black male experience in terms of education and capitalism. Second, the score of the album is ultimately categorized and charted according to the structures proposed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001). Ultimately, I argue that Yeezus presents several unique sounds and emotions, as well as perceptions on Black life in America. 3 Table of Contents Chapter One

  • Word Recognition and Content Comprehension of Subtitles For
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 21 – January 2014 Word recognition and content comprehension of subtitles for television by deaf children Soledad Zarate, University College London Joseph Eliahoo, Imperial College London ABSTRACT This project explores how deaf children read subtitles on television. The participants – recruited from years 3 to 6 of a mainstream school with a hearing impairment unit – were exposed to both broadcast and enhanced subtitles and their performances were compared. In particular, the focus is on identifying enhancements that can help children to understand subtitle content and to recognise new or difficult words. Among the enhancements introduced were repetition and highlighting of new or difficult words through the use of a bigger and different typeface, use of longer reading times, text reduction and careful spotting. This pilot study provides some useful information for future empirical experimental research on subtitling for deaf children. KEYWORDS Subtitling, deaf children, word recognition, content comprehension. 1. Introduction The research aims, in a broad sense, at exploring how deaf children read subtitles on television. The approach is empirical and consists of practical observation conducted in the classroom through the use of short screenings of two subtitled episodes of the cartoon Arthur, followed by questionnaires aimed at assessing the children's comprehension of subtitles and their ability to recognise new or difficult words. Three relevant studies motivated the sharpening of the initial question to assessing content comprehension and in particular recognition of new vocabulary. Firstly, Neuman and Koskinen (1992) examined how “comprehensible input,” as intended by Krashen (1985), in the form of subtitled television, influences incidental vocabulary learning in a second language (L2).

This booklet reviews selected research recommended by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development as a sound basis for designing literacy programs and particular intervention programs to help struggling readers. The booklet discusses how Reading Recovery epitomizes the 10 principles in literacy programs that work and states that the power of Reading Recovery lies in the inteuration of the 10 research-based components and the careful, sensitive application of these components during a Reading Recovery lesson. It presents a chart which summarizes these 10 principles that this research suggests are essential for intervention programs and lists supporting research, as well as components and teaching procedures characteristic of Reading Recovery, for each of the 10 principles.
