p19 decoding activity

Readers’ strategies to identify words:

• Blending together individual phonemes represented by the letters in words (phonemic decoding or ‘sounding out’).

• Noticing & blending familiar spelling patterns involving more than one letter.

• Recognising printed words as whole units & reading them ‘by sight’.

• Making analogies to words already known.

• Using context clues to guess a word’s identity.

(Ehri 1998, 2002)

Word recognition system

Children need to be taught..

• grapheme-phoneme correspondence

• how to blend phonemes in order all through a word to read it

• how to segment words into their phonemes to spell them

• that blending & segmenting are reversible processes

Word recognition processes

Potete probabilmente suonare questo con poca fatica. Per comprendere il significato, però, è necessario conoscere altri aspetti della lingua oltre le abilità di decodifica. Che cosa significa ciascuna parola? Qual è il contesto in cui vengono utilizzate le parole? Chi li sta parlando? Dove si trova l'altoparlante? Alcune di queste risposte sono essenziali per farvi capire. Gli altri sono desiderabili.

Language Comprehension Processes

• Meanings of words (semantics)

• How words can be combined (syntax/grammar)

• Cultural background

• Knowledge of context
