- Focus on meaning
- Word recognition
- Making the connection between familiar sounds and written words or phrases
- Naming the letters of the alphabet
- Predicting the pronunciation of a written word
Teachers often use it as part of vocabulary teaching. When children learn to say a new word they learn to read it. You can help children with whole word recognition by using printed material as much as you can in your classroom. This can also be done with phrases.
Also, children need to learn how to recognize sounds and letters.
Young learners:
- Can learn obvious letter patterns that help with sound recognition and help them predict words, for example, shop, jam, etc. Visual clues make words and phrases easier.
- Will not need to know the formal names of the letters until they start to write and spell. Another way to help children with sounds is to let them play with the sounds as they repeat a word they are reading on a card or in their book.
Activities to help children connect sounds with letters
1. Memory games.
Match the letter with the correct picture. Remember the places!
2. Initial letter games.
Write the first letter of these pictures.
3. Feel the letter.
Close your eyes and find the letter “C” of cat.
4. Make an alphabet frieze with card spaces underneath for lots of extra words those children can recognize and read.
Activities to help children connect sound recognition with clusters of written letters.
- Make children aware of the patterns in - Final word endings that rhyme in songs and chants
- Games and songs with a focus on beginning sounds - Displays or games that emphasize a particular sound.
- Help them focus on visual sound patterns, for example, pl cluster in plant, planet, plane, and the st cluster in star, stamp, story. - Talk about these patterns with the children - help them to see how they can use this awareness to guess words.
- Let children point to these patterns/words when you are all reading something together.
- Colour or highlight these patterns on word cards.
It’s important to help our pupils remember and pronounce new vocabulary. Using 'word reading' as part of vocabulary learning, children learn about rhythm and intonation as they learn new words and how to associate meaning and sound with the written word when they read.
Summary of the class activities:
- First sticks up pictures of the six words on the board.
- Then uses a tambourine to beat out the rhythm of the new word.
- Finally says a chant with the children using the new words they are learning.
