Moats passage presented the reader with an interesting statement about decoding and its purpose. Decoding can refer to a conversion, analyzing, or interpreting. Moats focuses on the importance of a child’s ability to decode. It is stated that to further become an effective reader, understand the significance of words, appreciate reading, and be more likely to then expand one’s knowledge from reading one must practice decoding. Four key points that Moats demonstrates to be important are the alignment

phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension with an added element, writing. This course also covers the topic of Linguistics. Linguistics is defined as the study of human language and its structure, including phonology, orthography, morphology/semantics, and syntax. Each of these areas of linguistics will be discussed as well. Finally, researched-based strategies that could be integrated in the classroom will also be shared. Phonemic Awareness refers to the knowledge that

Question #2: (a) Spelling is often difficult for ELL students because some spelling rules are unique to the English language such as its letter sounds (homophones) and silent letters. According to Bear (1998), “to read and write words appropriately and fluently and to appreciate fully how words work in context, instruction must balance authentic reading and writing with purposeful word study” (p.223). The understanding of how words are spelled directly correlate to the proficiency of reading and

homonyms, antonyms, and synonyms. Schedule III reviews Schedule I and II, and introduces joined cursive writing for the alphabet, prefixes, suffixes, plural and singular verbs, and sentence dictation (Texas Scottish Rite Hospital For Children, 2014). Dyslexia Reading Well has organized a list of research based tips for choosing a program that works and a list of the best and most popular programs. Students with dyslexia require explicit, intensive, and multisensory reading instruction. Its content

I. ¬Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the present study. First, reading achievement and difficulties of students who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) are discussed. Second, it justifies the theoretical framework of the study with three primary sources: Simple View of Reading (Gough & Tunmer, 1986; Hoover & Gough, 1990), the National Reading Panel (NRP, 2000), and the Qualitative Similarity Hypothesis (QSH) (Paul, Wang, & Williams, 2013). Next, Visual Phonics is explained

teacher recognize your students who are struggling with phonological awareness? “Phonological awareness is knowing and demonstrating that spoken language can be broken down into smaller units which can be manipulated with the alphabetic system or orthography. Phonological awareness encompasses the discrimination, counting, rhyming, alliteration, blending, segmentation, and manipulating of syllables, onset-rimes, and phonemes(Vaughn & Bos, 2015, p. 179)”. Readers that cannot dissect words to sound

MODULE 2: RESEARCH ARTICLE CRITIQUE Vandana G. Kotapally Grand Canyon University: SPE 557 04/25/2012 Abstract Causes of dyslexia or reading disabilities have been hotly debated by researchers and educators. Knowledge regarding the causes of reading disabilities is important as they define the strategies that will used to help students with dyslexia learn. Dyslexia is caused by differences in the information processing patterns of learning disability students. Language and phonological skills

would then form the new word “bat”. As for blends, I could have the students sound out specific phonemes such as /s/ /a/ /t/ to create words such as “sat”. Phonics Phonics “is the set of relationships between phonology (the sounds in speech) and orthography (the spelling pattern of written language” (Tompkins, 2014, p.152). This is the ability to know that each alphabet letter has a sound that correlates with it. Although phonics and phonemics awareness differ, phonics “puts the intervention at the
