Powerpoint Summary: “Linking Phonics and
Vocabulary Development”
This
Powerpoint discusses how phonics is the ultimate achievement of all
students learning how to read and
become fluent readers. One process to achieve phonics is through the practice
of decoding. When a student is successfully able to decode words, then the
student is more able to understand and read the vocabulary in a text. To
achieve this, a teachers instruction must be diligent and informative. When a
teacher directly creates instruction to cater towards the students reading
needs and text interests. The skills of decoding are very vital in determining
a student’s phonics achievement.
Powerpoint Summary: “Vocabulary Development”
Initially,
this presentation provides you with different analysis strategies that are all
very helpful in improving students reading abilities. It then went on to
discuss the prompts for fostering decoding strategies. I have never thought
about the questions that I asked whether they were semantic, syntactic or
phonic. But this section gives me great feedback about knowing the types of
questions I am asking my students and how they are questioning them and how
they are beneficial to their decoding learning.
It
is also important to teach students good skills of correct ways to decode their
miscues, and teaching them self-correcting skills. This is why it is so
important to give students appropriate texts that are on their level. Through
this phonics learning process, automaticity with high frequency words is very
important. Some of the different techniques provided are shared reading, singing-high
frequency words, experience stories, and predictable books. I have used shared
reading in my classrooms before, and I have seen the benefit of this teaching
method in learning sight words. I have also used techniques of repeated reading
and read alouds, which can also be effective in teaching students their sight
words. I agree that word walls can be very effective along with the use of
graphic organizers for learning. Lastly, I have never made small books for the
students. This would give them a sense of ownership over their work and
learning their sight words. This was a very beneficial powerpoint and I am glad
I referred back through so many helpful techniques.
