I
believe children must be taught the code (sounds
and letters) underlying the English language.
I believe phonological
awareness is critical to reading success in
first grade.
I can adapt how I
teach the English language code when working
with children who speak another language or
a dialect of English.

Code is a set of
agreed-upon symbols for communication. (Review)
The alphabet is a
limited set of symbols that stand for the sounds
in a language. (Review)
Phonological awareness
is understanding that spoken language is comprised
of discrete sounds.
Fingerplays, poetry,
rhymes, games and songs can be used effectively
to teach phonological awareness.
There is a developmental
continuum for the acquisition of phonological
awareness.
Children acquire
phonological awareness in their home language
or dialect of English.
Children need to
hear sounds of oral language to develop phonological
awareness.
English phonemes
are not identical with the phonemes of other
languages or dialects of English. |
Can describe how
the ability to hear and distinguish the sounds
of spoken language is related to reading and
writing.
Can give an example
of phonological awareness.
Can describe two
ways to build phonological awareness instruction
into the daily routine.
Can recognize the
need for adapting learning experiences and
teaching strategies for second language learners
and speakers of dialects of English.
Can name one idea
for using books to promote phonological awareness. |
