Reading, From Beginning

To Reading
Comprehension
1. Teachthe
sounds of
individual letters
Teach the sounds of individual letters: (Phonics)
Students need to learn the individual sounds in words
and that words are made up of small parts of sound and
phonemes. Recognizing individual sounds and
understanding the relationship between letters and
spoken sounds (phonics) create phonemic awareness.

Be sure to emphasize ending sounds as well as the more

obvious beginning sounds. 

2.Teach sound
blends
 
Sound blends such as st, fl, dr, sh, etc
should be emphasized as well as
digraphs such as ch, ck, ph. These
letters together form distinct sounds
or phonemes.

3. Teach whole
words
Whole-word recognition or word identification
 up of being able to use sound-symbol

relationships. This is an important skill that
deserves the time students spend to master.
Word families- bat, cat, pat, sat, etc. are
important in this stage. Vowels should require
special attention in this stage, especially when
distancing between short /i/ and short /e/ (As
in /pit/ and /pet/) throughout the whole-word
reading process.

to develop students’ identification of
sight words:.
Flashcards or reader books with plenty
of sight words.
Picture dictionaries.
Rhymes and entertaining poetry.
Word games such as matching and word
search games
4. Present
meanings
Be sure that students know the meaning of
each word they read. You can use a lot of
techniques to present the meanings such as
drawings, pictures, miming, etc. Don’t
forget to check the understanding of the
meanings frequently. Be sure that students
can discriminate the variations in meaning as
well as go over words that sound the same
but have different spellings and meanings.
5. Teach word
parts
It is important to teach word parts: prefixes,
root words, suffixes, and derivations of
words. When students know these parts, they
will be able to understand more words. For
example, when an elementary school student
knows the meaning of “bed” and the
meaning “room”, they will understand easily
the meaning of “bedroom”.
6. Put words in
contexts
Encouraging students to put each
word in context is a powerful
strategy. The student who can
use words in sentences can
demonstrate a mastery of
reading and language usage as
