Phonemic Awareness

• Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice,
  think about, and work with the individual sounds
  in spoken words. Before children learn to read
  print, they need to become aware of how the
  sounds in words work. They must understand that
  words are made up of speech sound.

19
Phonemic Awareness

• Sound Isolation-what is the first sound?

Sound Identity-what is the same sound in all
these words?
Blending-what word does these sounds make?
Segmenting-what are the sounds in this word?

Phonemic Awareness

• Sound Deletion-what is smile without /s/?

Sound Addition-what is park if I add a /s/ to the
beginning?
Substitution-my word is bug. If I change the /g/
to an /n/, what is my new word?

Fluency

• Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately
  and quicklyFluent readers read aloud
  effortlessly and with expression. Their reading
  sounds natural, as if they are speaking.

30
Fluency

• Fluency is important because it provides a bridge
  between word recognition and comprehension.
  Because fluent readers do not have to concentrate
  on decoding the words, they can focus their
  attention on what the text meansIn other words,
  fluent readers recognize words and comprehend at
  the same time.

31
Fluency

• Fluency is NOT reading as fast as you can!

Vocabulary

• Vocabulary refers to the words we must know to
  communicate effectively. Oral vocabulary refers
  to words that we use in speaking or recognize in
  listening. Reading vocabulary refers to words we
  recognize or use in print.

35
Vocabulary

• Vocabulary plays an important part in learning to
  readBeginning readers have a much more difficult
  time reading words that are not already part of
  their oral vocabulary.

36
Vocabulary

• Vocabulary also is very important to reading
  comprehension. Readers cannot understand what
  they are reading without knowing what most of the
  words mean. As children learn to read more
  advanced texts, they must learn the meaning of
  new words that are not part of their oral
  vocabulary.
