 The creation of the Internet, and it's English first design has only precipitated the speed of English dominance. Efforts around the world continue to try and record and build a web in any users preferred tongue.  The creation of the Internet, and it's English first design has only precipitated the speed of English dominance.

 +Writing systems influence how we read. Three major writing systems exist: alphabetic- symbols represent sounds or [[phonemes]] such as English, syllabic-n symbols represent  whole  syllables like   Japanese  and  
 +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.

-==== Teaching Systematic and Explicit Phonics ====+===== Teaching Systematic and Explicit Phonics =====
  
 We teach phonics through an **explicit,** or using a direct instruction and concrete manipulatives, and **systematic**, a logical instructional sequence of lessons, approach. This reduces the number of inferences for the reader to make (Chall & Popp, 1996). We teach phonics through an **explicit,** or using a direct instruction and concrete manipulatives, and **systematic**, a logical instructional sequence of lessons, approach.

 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.

 +==== Effective Phonics Instruction ====
 +
 +In a review of research {{ :stahletal1996phonics.pdf |Stahl et al.,1996}} found beyond explicit and systematic instruction good phonics teaching involves:
 +  * teaching the alphabetic principle
 +  * developing phonological awareness
 +  * using engaging and authentic content
 +  * focusing on common [[consonant phonics pattern]] and [[vowel phonics patterns]]

 +===== In the Classroom =====
 +**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, or tablets for this activity. Have a predictable text. You can differentiate by using books that highlight a specific phonogram or a common phonics pattern. Students then manipulate the letters to do "word work.Have students segment the sounds in the words and blend sounds. Your goal is to make the abstract concepts of bending and segmenting concrete (Pullen et al., 2005).
 +
 +**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,
