5 Components
• Phonological Awareness• Phonics-elementary--word
Identification-secondary• Fluency• Vocabulary• Comprehension
Phonological Awareness
Phonological Awareness
• Rhyming: identifying and making oral rhymes, matching the ending sounds of words starting with the vowel sounds (cat, bat, hat, that)
• Alliteration: producing groups of words that begin with the same sound (Two tired turtles tried to take a trip.)
• Sentence Segmentation: segmenting sentences into spoken words (The sentence, “The girl ate two candy bars,” segments into six words)
• Syllable Blending and Segmentation: blending syllables to say words (/pan/ /cake/ blends into pancake) Segmenting words into syllables (cactus segments to /cac/ /tus/)
Phonological Awareness Instruction
• Understands discrete sounds/phonemes• Recognizing which words in a set of words
begin with the same sound• Isolating and saying the first or last sound in a
word• Combining or blending the separate sounds in
a word to say the words• Breaking or segmenting a word into its
separate sounds
Phonological Awareness (cont.)• Onset-Rime Blending and Segmentation: separating
the initial consonant or cluster (the onset) from the vowel and consonant sounds that come after it (the rime) Shirt segments to the onset /sh/ and the rime /irt/)
• Phoneme Blending, Segmentation, and Manipulation: blending phonemes into words (/m/ /a/ /n/ blends into man, segmenting words into individual phonemes (cat segments into /k/ /a/ /t/) manipulating phonemes in spoken words (/b/ substituted for /k/ in cat makes bat)
Technology can…..
Support a student learning to…• Recognize patterns in words• Create words from letters, words, pictures or
sounds• Use auditory feedback as words are created or
segmented• Convert words by isolating and changing
phonemes

Phonics
Phonics Instruction
Systematic Direct Instruction• Letter-sound relationships• Spelling strategies• Writing strategies
Phonics
• Elementary: (Alphabetic Understanding, Word Study and Spelling)Sound symbol correspondence, the ability to associate a speech sound with an alphabetic letter. Instruction in how the sounds of spoken language.
Phonics: Alphabetic UnderstandingLetter sounds: Association of a sound with a letter and
letter combination in a written wordSpelling Regular Words: Using letter sounds and
segmentation to spell words, mapping sounds to letters following typical rules
Spelling/Reading Irregular Words: Spelling words in which some or all of the letters do not represent their most common sounds. (e.g. word families: one, none, done)
Sentence Reading: Practicing reading regular and irregular words then reading them in the context of a sentence
Technology Can…
Support a student learning to…• Pair sounds and letters to form words • Spell with success• Practice fluency in reading sentences• Adapt reading strategies as immediate
feedback is received.

Word Identification(Secondary)
• Letter/Sound correspondence: ability to say the sounds for each letter or letter combination that is given
• Structural analysis: Analysis of compound words, contractions, syllables, root words, affixes, Greek and Latin morphemes
Technology Can…
Support a student learning to…• Recognize the parts that make up the word.• Use context clues to interpret meanings.

Fluency
Fluency Instruction
• Bridge between word recognition and comprehension
• Development is gradual over time• Difference between more fluent readers and
less fluent readers
Fluency
• Automaticity of Letter Sounds: Quickly recognizing letter sounds as a precursor to blending, word reading, and passage reading
• Automaticity of Words: Accurately and quickly identifying regular words
• Connected Text: Sounding out each word and then reading them together
Technology Can
Support a student learning to…• Practice reading aloud• Use models to develop fluency skills in
reading.

Vocabulary
Vocabulary Development
• VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT—The knowledge of words, their definitions, and context.
How is vocabulary learned?
• Most vocabulary is learned indirectly– “Learning by listening”– Read aloud to children– Children read on their own (exposure to words)– Daily oral reading
• Vocabulary is learned directly and must be taught– Teach specific words before reading– Extended use of the words over time– Repeated exposure to the words in context– Use dictionaries and other reference materials– Teach word parts (affixes, base words)
Technology
• Use technology to:
– Search word meanings– Explore new words– Elaborate on immediate vocabulary

Mid to High Tech• To purchase or commercially produced tools:
– Books on tape/CD– Franklin Spellers– Talking word processors: Read/Write Goal, Kurzweil,
WYNN– Word prediction software: Co-Writer, Write Outloud– Text readers: Read/Write Gold, Kurzweil, WYNN– Reading Pens (Quicktionary Pen; Wizcom Technologies
www.wizcomtech.com )– Edmark Reading
Literacy: Vocabulary Software Evaluation
• New words are presented in meaningful ways• Students see, hear, and use words many times
and in many contexts• Makes connections to student's current word
knowledge• Strategies for older students include
contextual analysis and morphemic analysis
Comprehension
Comprehension• READING COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES—
The understanding of meaning in text. • Must be based on scientifically based
research. • Must include classroom-based screening, and
instructional and diagnostic reading assessments.
• Should provide ongoing, high-quality professional development focused on essential elements of reading
• Interaction between the text and the reader• Good readers are purposeful and active• Monitor comprehension• Use prior knowledge• Question• Recognize story structure• Summarize• Think Alouds
• Identify where the difficulty occurs
• Identify what the difficulty is
• Restate the difficult sentence or passage in own
words
• Look back through the text
• Look forward in the text for
information that might help to
resolve the difficulty
Texas Assistive Technology Network www.texasat.net
Comprehension
• Literal Comprehension—Understanding what is explicitly stated or clearly implied in the text
• Implicit Comprehension—Understanding a meaning that is intended or suggested by the author but not stated.
• Story Retell—Recalling events from a passage and retelling it
Texas Assistive Technology Network www.texasat.net
• Story Grammar—Understanding story elements– Main characters– Setting– Problem/Resolution– Important events– Themes
Texas Assistive Technology Network www.texasat.net
• Sequencing—Sequencing events in short passages
• Main Idea—Determining the main idea of a passage
Texas Assistive Technology Network www.texasat.net
Technology
• Use technology to:– Look up meanings of difficult words or phrases
– Sequence events in a story
– Understand the different parts of a passage
