  1. Developing Fluent Readers and Writers Why do students need to learn to read and write high-frequency words? What strategies do students learn to use to recognize unfamiliar words? How do students become fluent readers? Why is fluency important?

  2. Ms. Williams’ High-Frequency Word Instruction • Thematic Units of Study with Fiction & Non-Fiction Texts • Word Wall/ Word Manipulatives • Interactive Writing • Literacy Centers: Retelling, Science, Word Work, Listening, Word Wall, Writing, Word Sort, Library (student aides) • Language Experience Approach • Choral Reading

  3. Word Recognition: the quick and easy pronunciation or spelling of a familiar word Word Identification: the ability to figure out the pronunciation or spelling of an unfamiliar word using a strategy such as syllabic analysis Goals in teaching students to read and write

  4. Word Recognition Strategies • High-Frequency, “Sight Words,” are not easily decodable • Word Walls / Word Work Centers • Making Words Tiles, Magnetic Letters, Paint Bags, Sidewalk Chalk • Introduce Words in Context • Chant/Clap the Spelling of New Words • Interactive Writing / L.E.A. • Class Books

  5. Word Identification Strategies • Phonic Analysis – using sound / symbol relationships & patterns to decode & spell • By Analogy – using knowledge of rhyming words to deduce a pronunciation or spelling; focus on word families or rimes • Syllabic Analysis – breaking words into syllables before using phonics & analogies; also known as “chunking” • Morphemic Analysis – applying knowledge of root words & affixes to identify unfamiliar words through the meaning of all parts

  6. What is Fluency? • Fluency is the ability to read effectively and involves three components: • Reading Rate – the speed at which students read (fluent reading = 100 words / minute) • Word Recognition – automatic recognition of high-frequency words • Prosody – the ability to orally read sentences with appropriate phrasing and intonation

  7. Why is fluency so important for young readers?

  8. Promoting Reading Fluency • Repeated Readings • Teaching Phrasing (chunking sentences) • Choral Reading / Unison Reading • Readers Theatre • Echo Reading • Listening Centers • Shared Reading • Buddy Reading • Closed Captioning
