Phonemic awareness

representation, storage, and retrieval of speech sounds (Aravena, et al., 2013). Considering that phonological awareness is the prerequisite for becoming literate, children with dyslexia have a harder time gaining reading and spelling skills (Aravena, et al., 2013). In a 2013 study about the impacts of a child’s phonemic length discrimination ability on reading and spelling skills, phonological awareness was determined as one of the primary difficulties associated with dyslexia (Pennala, et al.,…

The ‘Four Resources Model’ is the most relevant model for addressing the needs of 21st century literacy learners. The ‘Four Resources Model’ was developed by Luke & Freebody, in 1999.

coach could review and make more informed decisions on whom to choose. I would suggest one lower school, upper school, and middle school reading teacher. These teachers all have different skills and standards of focus in literacy. For example, phonemic awareness isn’t typically a standard taught in 5th grade. Using information from these educators will help in curriculum planning, addressing areas of need and strength, as well as helping to implement and revise the literacy vision of the…

As many teachers search for new strategies and interventions to address the lack of fluency within their reading programs, Repeated Reading (RR) appears to be a topic of curiosity. RR is an evident based strategy designed to increase reading fluency and comprehension through the development of automatic word processing and contextualized linguistic effect (Winter, 2007). Similar to the text features on a cell phone, automatic word processing is the ability to detect and comprehend a word…
