Letter Naming CBA Students need to recognize alphabet letter names and corresponding letter sounds with automaticity in learning to read, so CBAs for these two areas are often administered in conjunction with one another. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.d addresses the expectation that kindergartners recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet. A student who is unsuccessful at this task is considered at risk for reading problems in the future. When administering a lettering naming CBA, it is advised to include other assessments that assess decoding and reading for universal screening (Hosp, Hosp and Howell, 2016). The student was given a battery of reading assessments to fully determine his capabilities. In this case study, the first grade student was given an alphabet letter recognition assessment to evaluate his skill in identifying upper- and lowercase letters. The student was shown a worksheet with capital letters printed in a large simple font and placed in random order. The student was asked to identify each uppercase

In English, as well as in a number of other languages, learners follow a developmental progression that builds on the progressive understanding of letter-sound relationships, within-word and between-syllable patterns, and meaning, and the selections in WTW are organized based on frequency of occurrence and degree of word familiarity in English (Pearson Learning, 2018). Research behind the WTW program has shown that it builds foundational skills including print concepts; phonological awareness; phonics and word recognition, fluency and vocabulary (Pearson, 2018). According to Pearson Learning (2018), acquiring knowledge of the conventions for writing a language follows a predictable progression from sound and alphabetic organization through pattern and
In Dr. Louise Spear- Swerlings’ article, she stated that in Kindergarten through third grade, student should be taught five key elements for effective reading abilities, which are phonemic awareness, phonics knowledge, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Dr. Spear- Swerling, continued by saying phonic awareness is well develop in normally achieving reader by the end of first grade and by the end of third grade they should have acquired basic phonics knowledge. In addition to children excelling to become good readers, the instructions should be explicit and systematic, following a logical sequence of instruction. For instance, reading a decodable text that’s consisting of words with one syllable before advancing to an authentic text.
Word Identification The QRI-4 guideline suggested Tessa begin reading the word lists at the upper middle grade level, two levels below her current grade level. However, it was necessary to test back to the fifth grade level due to Tessa’s performance on the suggested starting point. Tessa completed the fifth grade word list automatically with 90% accuracy, in the allotted time, signifying she read the words at the independent level. When analyzing the sixth grade word list, Tessa automatically identified 70% of the words, indicating she was identifying words at the instructional level.

One child I’ve worked with quite closely was identified early on. His knowledge retention was very low, even when looking at things he was interested in such as dinosaurs and bugs. He often couldn’t remember his classmate’s names or our names and by Christmas, he still wasn’t able to identify any of the initial sounds or identify the written number form on a regular basis. It was decided to implement a regular intervention group to improve his memory as well as to speak with his parents about any additional needs that might be identified by a medical professional. We also noticed he mis-pronounced various letters which added to his confusion

The play like element to this program is sure to get young students excited about reading and engaging both their tactile senses with the physical object, and aural senses with the alliterations found in most beanie baby names is sure to help activate their memories in a fun way that will have students learning without even realizing it! When used in combination with the classroom reading routine, this program is sure to help many students nail down those reading strategies and become strong
This ultimately affected deaf schools because they had to resort to enforcing hearing. 5. Read the “pdf” document titled “Name Signs_Ch.3.” Name and describe the two classes of name signs?
school districts. 1,771 students altogether, distributed in 10 different middle schools. Some of the students went to elementary schools that used Accelerated Reader and some did not. The Title Recognition Test was designed as an analog of recognition measures that had previously been used to assess exposure to print in adults (Stanovich & West, 1989) and children (e.g., Allen et al., 1992; Cipielewski & Stanovich, 1992; Cunningham & Stanovich, 1990). These measures employ a signal detection logic whereby subjects must recognize actual target items, real book titles, when they are embedded among foils, phrases that are not book titles.
Her capitalization has improved but will still for get to capitalize I by itself. In the area of Basic Reading, Grace has struggled with her 3rd grade daily reading this year. Grace enjoys reading aloud in class and when she comes upon a word she does not know she sounds it out and/or uses context clues. Grace continues to struggle with determining the meaning of unknown words; however, when words are within a text she is able to use context clues to determine the meaning of a word.
He is also encouraged to consistently use lowercase letters inside his sentences. Martin would benefit from referring to his alphabet on his desk as a reminder. Martin reads word by word and is able to communicate his comprehension skills. He is encouraged to try and sound out unfamiliar words before looking at the adult for help. He would benefit from practicing
Prior to this class I thought phonics and understanding the sounds (A for Apple /a/) was all that was needed to know in the alphabet to understand to read and write. It is known now even with my personal understanding that learning how to read and write goes deeper than understanding the sounds of the letter and what the letters look like in a word. As a young child I had a difficult time reading and I now understand my phonemic awareness was weak. I recall as a young child not understanding how to rhyme and pronounce words properly and due to my lack of understanding how to read I had a tough time writing stories, essays, summaries and poems.
Looking at “Learning to Read
I think something that should be looked at would be how reading is connected with the way we write which
Justification: (approximately 100-150 words) Based on Nicole’s SDQA scoring sheet, her instructional level was not determined because she did not score two errors on any level. She scored at 5th grade independent level and 6th grade frustration level. Her score sheet reveals that her reading skills strengths include phonemic awareness and letter-sound knowledge and decoding because she recognized letter patterns in some of the words she misread. This leads me to believe that Nicole has strong phonic analysis skills and a high sight word vocabulary which allows her the confidence to attempt reading multisyllabic words. Nicole’s reading level should begin at the 4th grade level because the last grade-level word list scored as independent was 5th grade.
If the recoding of graphemes into phonemes is slow or subject to error, reading may be slowed or the wrong pronunciation may occur, leading to the retrieval of the wrong word or no word at all. Here, the International Phonetic Alphabet is a perfect example that teachers and literacy specialists can apply to help students understand the importance of letters and sounds. Wrong pronunciation may also result in reading and comprehension errors. According to Stanovich, (1986), Vellutino and Scanlon (1987), deficits in phonological processing are responsible for some differences between good and poor readers. Poor readers are slow and less accurate in repeating a string of digits and in naming objects that are familiar to
