+ | Writing systems influence how we read. Three major writing systems exist: alphabetic- symbols represent sounds or [[phonemes]] such as English, syllabic-n symbols represent | ||
+ | morphophonetic or logographic- symbols represent elements of both meaning and sound as in Chinese. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In alphabetic language you must learn to map sounds to symbols and then pull apart and put those symbols and sounds together in words | ||

New advances in technology have pushed the boundaries of possibilities. Learning to read apps dominate app marketplaces on Apple and Android. Computers may have ability to predict how a learner should move through a scope and sequence of systematic instruction better than their human teachers. Thus freeing up educators to focus on the harder to reach fruit such as building background knowledge and reading motivation. | New advances in technology have pushed the boundaries of possibilities.

Once you move into derivational spelling, meaning parts of the word, like roots and suffixes influence meaning phonics gets fully replaced by morphology, or spelling lessons rather than working in conjunction to teach both decoding, reading and encoding, writing skills. | Once you move into derivational spelling, meaning parts of the word, like roots and suffixes influence meaning phonics gets fully replaced by morphology, or spelling lessons rather than working in conjunction to teach both decoding, reading and encoding, writing skills. | ||

+ | Elonkin Boxes-We use Elonkin Boxes in phonemic awareness to count sounds but we can also use them to make letter sound connections by having students put a letter in the box instead of a sound. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Manipulative Letters-You can use magnets, whiteboards, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Word sorts teach students to recognize patterns and anti-patterns in words and phonics patterns while also drawing on the connection between spelling and phonics (Bear et al, 2000). You give students lists of words and they move them into categories based on common characteristics. You can differentiate by giving students predefined categories, timing sorts, or having students write the words from dictation, | ||
