Chapter 3: A Bit of Different Take
ISABEL L.BECK & Mark E. Beck (2013)
CHAPTER REVIEW
1) The first major problem in the identification of phonemes within words is that a child
does not perceive subsounds in a word.
2) Phoneme segmentation is hard because phonemes often overlap in speech production.
3) Young children who have not yet learned to read is that they do not have much
knowledge of English orthography, which is essense of spelling.
Solution
■ If an activity could be conducted with the light off, it was a phonemic awareness
because it was auditory only. (oral activity)
■ If the activity required the lights be on, it was phonics because phonics involves seeing
letters.
■ Phonemic awareness instruction is most effective when such instruction is imparted
through the use of printed letters. Once letters are used, they have discarded the more
common view of phonemic awareness as a purely auditory task in favor of phonics
which additionally includes the visual system (Bus & van Ijzendoorn,1999)
■ They believe that decoding can be taught with the inclusion of phonemic awareness and
that phonemic awareness can be taught by incorporating letters.
