• Good readers will need much less practice with these concepts than struggling readers will.
• Teach students what they need to learn and not what they already know.
• Each skill need not to be a separate focus of instruction. Often several skills can be addressed by a single rich task.

Beginning Reading…
Thirty years of research suggests that the most effective beginning reading programs are those that provide systematic, explicit phonics instruction and also focus on comprehension.

How important is word identification instruction?
•Critically important in that many students have difficulty “breaking the code” without explicit instruction.
•If lack of success continues through primary grades, students continue in a “negative spiral” (Stanovich 1986).

Word Identification Goal:
Novice readers need to be able to:• identify most words automatically, that
is, at sight.• decode unfamiliar words by analogy
(using “chunks” and “chunks with meaning” from words they know automatically).
• Check to see if the word they generated makes sense and adjust, if necessary.
“Phonics instruction includes the teaching of letter-sound correspondences, the
pronunciations of spelling patterns, and decoding skills (i.e. how to apply this
phonics knowledge to the reading and spelling of unknown words, including how
to blend the sounds together).”Dr. Timothy Shanahan, 2006

English as it is Spelled
This year, I firmly made a vow,I’m going to learn to spell.
I’ve studied phonics very hard.Results will surely tell.
“A little bird sat on a bough,And underneath stood a cough.”
That doesn’t look just right somehow.I guess I should have spelled ‘cou’.
I thought I heard a distant coughBut when I listened, it shut ‘ough’.
Oh dear, I think my spelling’s ‘auf’.I guess I meant I heard a ‘coff’.
To bake some pizza, take some doughAnd let it rise, but very ‘slough’.
That doesn’t look just right, I know.I guess on that I stubbed my ‘tow’.
My father says down in the ‘slough’The very largest soybeans ‘grough’.
Perhaps he means the obvious ‘cloo’To better crops, is soil that’s ‘nue’
Cheap meat is often very tough. We seldom like to eat the ‘stough’.
I’m all confused; this spelling’s ‘ruff’.I guess I’ve studied long ‘enuph’.
IRA Position StatementThree basic principles regarding phonics and the
teaching of reading:
• The teaching of phonics is an important aspect of beginning reading instruction.
• Classroom teachers in the primary grades do value and do teach phonics as part of their reading program.
• Phonics instruction, to be effective in promoting independence in reading, must be embedded in the context of a total reading/language arts program.
Phonics Instruction: Beyond the Basics
Phonics instruction should aim to teach only the most important and regular of letter-to-sound
relationships…once the basic relationships have been taught, the best way to get children to refine and extend their knowledge of letter-sound correspondences is through repeated
opportunities to read.—Anderson, Hiebert, Scott, and Wilkinson (1985)
Effective Teaching
• “…the most effective first-grade teachers…taught decoding skills explicitly and provided their students with many opportunities to engage in authentic reading.”
• “…it is what teachers do to promote application of phonics knowledge during the reading of connected text that matters most.”
Wharton-McDonald, Pressley, and Hampston (1998)
Reading for Meaning
“Children in classrooms that taught [phonics] skills in context did better than children in classrooms where skills were taught out of context on every measure of reading achievement including word analysis (phonics), fluency, comprehension, and spelling.”
Cantrell (1999)
The Alphabetic Principle
--The sounds within spoken words are represented in writing by letters, and that those letters represent the sounds rather consistently.
Why do we teach the sounds of letters?
So they can be blended together to
make words
Letter-Sound Sequence

Letter Sound Types
• Continuous Sounds• Stop Sounds• Voiced Sounds• Unvoiced Sounds
Continuous Sounds
• “Stretch-able” sounds--/m/• Can be held out or elongated without
distortion• Easiest sounds for children to produce and
blend• Use first
Stop Sounds
• “Quick” sounds--/b/• Cannot be held out or elongated without
distortion• Voiced stop sounds are impossible to produce
in isolation• Avoid adding “uh” or “schwa” sound after
Voiced Sounds
• “Voice” occurs when the vocal folds (aka vocal cords) vibrate.
• This vibration makes the sound more audible.• The vibration may also contribute to sound
distortion, especially in voiced stop consonants--/b/
Unvoiced Sounds
• Produced without vocal fold vibration• Air moves past still vocal folds during an
unvoiced sound• Unvoiced stop consonants are easier to
blend--/p/

BlendingTeaching Children How Words Work
“Phonics instructionwill be of limited valueuntil a child can blend
the component soundsin words.”
Blevins, 1998
Blending Methods
• Final Blending (sound-by-sound)
• Successive Blending (whole word)
This instruction is critical to enabling children to generalize sound-spelling relationships to new
words.
Final BlendingSound-by Sound Blending
• The sound of each spelling is stated and stored. The whole word isn’t blended until all the sounds in the word have been identified and pronounced.
sat /s/ /a/ /sa/ /t/ /sat/
Final Blending
• Allows the teacher to determine where a student is having difficulty as he or she attempts to blend unfamiliar words.
• Helps the teacher determine which students lack the ability to orally string together sounds.
Successive BlendingWhole-Word or Continuous Blending
• Students stretch out, or hold, each sound in a word without pausing between the sounds.

“The goal of teaching phonics is to develop students’ ability to
read connected text independently.”
Adams, 1990
Variety of Text
• Decodable (controlled) text
• Predictable/patterned text
• Trade books
Criteria for controlled/decodable text
• Comprehensible– Natural sounding—Words must be derived from
children’s speaking/listening vocabularies
• Instructive– Strong connection between instruction and text
• Interesting– Engaging—revisited often to develop fluency and
increase reading rate.
Word Building
• Supports decoding and word recognition by giving students opportunities consistently to experience and discriminate the effects on a word of changing one letter.
• An opportunity to play with sounds and spelling

A syllable is a unit of pronunciation containing a single vowel sound. Multisyllabic words are strings of syllables, made up of onsets and rimes.
Skillful readers’ ability to read long words depends on their
ability to break the words into syllables. This is true for
familiar and unfamiliar words.Adams

SNRPDP
Fluent Reading
• What does fluent reading sound like?
• Fluent reading flows. It sounds smooth, with natural pauses.
SNRPDP
Why Is Reading Fluency Important
• “Fluency provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension.” —National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), 2001, p. 22
• Fluent readers are able to focus their attention on understanding text.
• Because non-fluent readers focus much of their attention on figuring out words, they have less attention to devote to comprehension.
SNRPDP
What Students Need To Learn
• How to decode words (in isolation and in connected text)
• How to automatically recognize words (accurately and quickly with little attention or effort)
• How to increase speed (or rate) of reading while maintaining accuracy
SNRPDP
Steps to Providing Fluency Instruction
• Measure students’ fluency
• Set fluency goals for individual students
• Select appropriate texts for fluency-building instruction
• Model fluent reading
• Provide repeated reading opportunities with corrected feedback
• Monitor student progress
SNRPDP
Fluency-Building Practices
• Teacher Read Alouds– Models the proper phrasing and speed of fluent reading
• Readers Theatre– Involves small groups of students rehearsing and reading a play
• Repeated Reading– Helps monitor the student’s growth in fluency
SNRPDP
More Fluency-Building Practices
• Choral reading– Actively involves students as they read in unison
• Chunking– Involves reading phrases, clauses, and sentences by
parsing, or dividing text into chunks
•Find and highlight the Common Core State Standard(s) that match these teaching points •Write activity names next to the standard
SNRPDP
Consider Diversity: English Language Learners
• Fluency practice for English language learners involves:– Listening to models– Repeated readings– Choral reading– Partner reading
SNRPDP
Students with Special Needs
• Students with disabilities usually benefit from:– Repeated reading practice, especially in
expository or informational texts– More time on task– Paired reading and rereading– Additional feedback and progress monitoring
SNRPDP
Monitoring Fluency Progress
• Students:– Independently read unpracticed text to the teacher
and graph their wpm
– Practice rereading the same text several times
– Independently read the text again to the teacher
– Graph score in a different color
