This book is a stand-alone resource for K-2 reading teachers, teachers-in-training, and other reading professionals. It provides the theoretical and practical foundations for using Synthetic Phonics as a method for teaching both reading and spelling. The emphasis is on the Alphabetic Code and on reasoning rather than on sight words and guessing. The book includes a history of reading instruction, a critique of Balanced Literacy, and a full 17-stage program to guide actual instruction.
A stand-alone book for teaching a preschooler how to read. The method used is synthetic phonics. Reading instruction in most schools is in disarray, with the result that two-thirds of students never become proficient readers (this according to the the US government publication The Nation's Report Card). Why take a chance with your own child? Do the job yourself; many parents before you have done so successfully. All you need is this guide. With minor adjustments, this book can easily be adapted in order to teach reading to older students, homeschoolers, and even other adults.
A step-by-step program that shows parents, simply and clearly, how to teach their child to read in just 20 minutes a day.
Many "reading disabled" kids have nothing wrong with them other than the fact that they are victims of a faulty instructional method called Whole Word. From 1930-1975, Whole Word was known as the Look/Say method. From 1975-2000, it was called Whole Language. Since 2000, the newest version of Whole Word goes by the name "Balanced Literacy." All Whole Word programs start reading instruction with memorized "sight words" and guessing strategies. Many of our kids, including some of our brightest, can't learn to read in such a manner because it's not logical - it makes no sense to them. Parents can solve this problem by teaching their child to read themselves, using the method recommended by the National Reading Panel: Synthetic Phonics. This book will guide you at each step along the way as you reclaim control of your child's future.
Early Reading Instruction is a comprehensive analysis of the research evidence from early writing systems to computer models of reading. In this book, Diane McGuinness provides an innovative solution to the "reading war"—the century-old debate over the efficacy of phonics (sound-based) versus whole-word (meaning- based) methods. She has developed a prototype—a set of elements that are critical to the success of a reading method. McGuinness shows that all writing systems, without exception, are based on a sound unit in the language. This fact, and other findings by paleographers, provides a platform for the prototype. Other elements of the prototype are based on modern research. For example, observational studies in the classroom show that time spent on three activities strongly predicts reading success: learning phoneme/symbol correspondences, practice at blending and segmenting phonemes in words, and copying/writing words, phrases, and sentences. Most so-called literacy activities have no effect, and some, like sight word memorization, have a strongly negative effect. The National Reading Panel (2000) summarized the research on reading methods after screening out thousands of studies that failed to meet minimum scientific standards. In an in-depth analysis of this evidence, McGuinness shows that the most successful methods (children reading a year or more above age norms) include all the elements in the prototype. Finally, she argues, because phonics-type methods are consistently shown to be superior to whole-word methods in studies dating back to the 1960s, it makes no sense to continue this line of research. The most urgent question for future research is how to get the most effective phonics programs into the classroom.
In a Fresh Look at Phonics, Wiley Blevins, author of the blockbuster Phonics from A-Z, explains the 7 ingredients of phonics instruction that lead to the greatest student gains, based on two decades of research in classrooms. For each of these seven must-haves, Wiley shares lessons, routines, word lists, tips for ELL and advanced learners, and advice on pitfalls to avoid regarding pacing, decodable texts, transition time, and more. A Fresh Look at Phonics is the evidence-based solution you have been seeking that ensures all students develop a solid foundation for reading.
