  1. Framework for Analysing Children’s Reading Books Graphology Lexis and semantics Grammar / syntax Pragmatics Oral tradition GGLOP?!

  2. Beware! Graphology is not an essential framework – only discuss briefly and if there is something different! Graphology • Page layout. • Lineation. • Pictures. • font(s) and size of letters. • Length of words and number of syllables. • How context could help with more difficult words.

  3. Lexis and Semantics • How could context help with more difficult words? • Types of words and semantic fields. • Concrete/abstract nouns. • Verb tense. • Modification e.g. adjectives, adverbs. • Pronouns used after subject (or object) has been clearly established. • Ease of recognition (sound-spelling match).

  4. Grammar / Syntax • Sentence type (simple, compound, complex. • Sentence length. • Lineation in reference to grammatical units • Careful structuring of sentences to make the text cohesive. • Use of direct speech • Repetition (of words and parts of sentences) • Position of subject and verb in sentence. • Use of active or passive voice.

  5. Pragmatics and influences from everyday speech • Informal register • Repetition • direct speech • people in face to face interaction. • Narration sounding like speech • Use of noises • Interactive text • Everyday content • Use of repetition (repetition, repetition, repetition……) • Face – to face interactions • Familiar scenarios

  6. Features borrowed from the oral tradition of story-telling • Alliteration • Repeated epithet e.g. Little Red Riding Hood, Brown Bear • Balanced sentence – • Assonance – repetition of vowel sounds • Repeated formulaic sentence- • Rhythmic language . rhyme • Additive structure- use of word “and” • Very simple sentences- Personification- stories about animals • proverbs or aphorism – a summary of some accepted wisdom e.g. ‘Never talk to strangers’

  7. Some areas of context to consider... • Good for encouraging a child to ‘interact with’ the book • Good for parents to read aloud to their child • Uses a repeated structure to help child predict the story and learn about narrative structure • Aims to teach particular ‘key’ words • Aims to teach phonic clusters • Aims to support the child’s social or emotional development • Aims to develop phonological awareness through children’s enjoyment of features like rhyme
