viDeo 6 - PhoNemic/ moRPhological aWaReNess task (3 miNutes)
Phonemic and morphological aware- ness are important skills to the reading process. Often, phonemic awareness is a de cit area for individuals with dyslexia and requires explicit and repeated in- struction to remediate. Phonemic aware- ness tasks target the ability to acknowl- edge each sound in a word, as well as manipulate sounds in words. At this stage in the lesson, tasks do not include print- ed text but, instead, rely on the sound system only. Thus, depending on a learn- er’s needs, they may be working on basic rhyming tasks or on higher level manipu- lation of pre xes, root words and su xes. http://bit.ly/phonemic-morphological- awareness
viDeo 7 - sPelliNg at souND/ symBol, WoRD aND seNteNce levels (15 miNutes)
Literacy instruction provides the foundation for individuals to learn how to read. The importance of spelling and writing, however, cannot be overlooked. Reading and writing are inextricably linked. Both reading and writing rely on similar foundational skills, such as a solid phonological system. Writing also relies on orthographic knowledge, or the abili- ty to connect a sound to the formation of its correct corresponding letter in an e - cient way. Thus, when working to estab- lish a comprehensive lesson plan, spelling cannot be left out. Receptive (reading) and expressive (writing) tasks must be worked on in the same lesson, with an emphasis placed on learning to use the new concept in written form. This sup- ports the learner’s understanding of not only how to read the new concept in text, but also how to apply it while writing. http://bit.ly/encoding-writing

Sentence reading is an integral part of a lesson. This allows the learner to prac- tice the new concept in connected text. Typically, at least ve sentences are in- cluded. Similar to other sections, the rst read through focuses on remediation, while the remaining two reads focus on
uency. At this point, the student can also practice chunking sentences into phras- es with natural pauses to practice the rhythm of reading, as well.
