The Braid of Literacy Interwoven Components Orthography Reading
Oral Language Writing
5
Why Word Study? Becoming literate is dependent on automaticity in word recognition Hands-on approach conducive to being able to recognize patterns ( analogy) Links phonics, vocabulary& spelling to authentic text
6
Three Layers of English Orthography
First layer of orthographic knowledge Alphabetic : Building blocks Second layer of orthographic knowledge Pattern: Moves beyond single sound - single letter correspondence Third layer of orthographic knowledge Meaning: groups of letters can represent meaning directly ( Greek/ Latin)
7
Orthographic Stages Orthographic stages correspond to movement through orthographic layers Alphabet Pattern Meaning Emergent stage Emergent reading Letter Name Beginning reading Within Word Pattern Transitional reading Syllables & Affixes Intermediate Reading Derivational Relationships Advanced Reading
8
Emergent Stage Characteristics Scribbles letters & numbers
Lacks concept of word Lacks letter-sound correspondence Pretends to read and write
9
Letter-Name Alphabetic Stage
Characteristics Represents beginning & ending sounds Uses letter names to invent spelling Functional concept of word Reads word by word
10
Within Word Pattern Stage
Characteristics Spells most CVC words correctly Uses beginning consonant digraph/blends Attempts long vowel markers Reads silently with fluency and expression Writes more fluently Can revise and edit
11
Syllables & Affixes Stage
Characteristics Spells most single syllable words correctly Errors at syllable juncture Reads with good fluency & expression Writes responses that are sophisticated and critical Reads faster silently than orally We went out west last sumer.We drove a littel camper bus.We stoped at Nashal Parks and went hikeing in the mountens.
12
Derivational Relations Stage
Characteristics Mastered high frequency words Errors on Greek/Latin low-frequency words Reads with fluency & expression Writes responses that are sophisticated and critical Reads faster silently than orally Math is not my faverite subject and I don’t always enjoy it.It’s been mostly easy and sometimes challegin. I like it when we use math in recipes and mesure ingredence.

Assessing for Instruction: ESI
Elementary Spelling Inventory ( Grades 1-6) Simple Whole-Group Valid, Reliable Results Assesses what Students KNOW, not what they don’t ( resists deficit model)

What Stage?
16
Beginning Instruction
Begin with what students “use but confuse” Word Sorts – address complexities of English Identifies patterns Points out oddities

Let’s Try it Out! We will “walk through” the following sorts: Open

The Great Part… It doesn’t matter how many groups you have, the procedure stays the same – only the sorts change!
