Yesterday we attended the Yolanda Soryl Phonics PD at the Kohia Center. The focus was around how phonics was 1 searchlight learners could use to help them in Reading and Writing. I particularly like the quote:
The most effective early reading programmes...
...have these characteristics:
- systematic explicit phonics instruction
- large amounts of oral reading with quality feedback
- word level practice to develop fluency
"Taken overall the research on reading suggest that what is required during the first three years is a balanced reading programme in which some time each day is spent on grapheme/word level analysis, word meanings (vocabulary building), prose reading and fluency building."
Church, J. (2005)Accelerating Reading development in Low Achieving children:
A Review of Research.Christchurch:University of Canterbury, p22
What I have learnt form yesterday:
That phonics is a one way I can explicitly help learners make a connection to literacy.
Assist with the transfer of knowledge by clearly and often showing and talking about the links between phonics and reading and writing and how we make them.
