EDUC 461 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Phonics, Phonemic Awareness, Phonological Awareness
Document Summary
Oral language and reading: oral language is the foundation on which reading is built, and it continues to serve this role as children develop as readers. Children come to school with a lot of knowledge about oral language (sense of words and sentences, sensitivity to the sounds system, understanding the meaning of words) How children develop as readers and writers: young children move through three stages as they learn to read and write: emergent, beginning, fluent. Emergent readers and writers: develop an interest in reading, very young around 4 or 5, develop book-handling skills, develop handwriting skills, learn to identify the letters of the alphabet, learn to read and write some high-frequency words. Not just phonics: but three related abilities. Phonemic awareness ability to notice and manipulate sounds. Basic understanding that speech is composed of a series of oral language of individual sounds. Is the ability to take words apart, put them back together and change them.
