Christine Braid - Foundations for Literacy


Key Points:
Phonemic and Phonological awareness- starts with hearing syllables in words then onset rime, then phonemes (hardest). 
  • Dyslexic children have trouble with the phoneme level.   
  • Children need to learn their letters, words and print concepts.
  • Vocab - the larger a child's vocab,  the more likely they are to be a good reader and vocab helps them to understand the story.
  • Interactive Read Alouds - analytic talk - good to read books across a theme.
  • Use of picture books to teach inferring. Given suggested titles and demonstrated how to do this
  • Good to read books across common theme to build up vocab. -currently doing this with books around Rugby stories
  • Suggested that we read the story book three times.
