PPP reading Patterns

Here is a quick, dramatic vignette asylum hearing as a child can make the transition from hearing words, to see the show on the printed page. The child followed a familiar sound, and learn to recognize visual patterns parallel to the paper. Data refer to the comments at the end.

The characters are Becky, a young girl who is talkative at home nursery with a cold, and Christine, a Stay-At-Home Mom, take a vacation from his job as an elementaryMaster. And 8:30 'clock, and Becky has only his orange juice and half a slice of toast with honey.

Becky says, "Mom, I'm so sad because this teacher week said that we could begin to learn to read the book in one, and said it would be fun, and you, and teach us to sing without the Alphabet Song ... "Becky began to cough. Christine puts her hand on his shoulder, and Becky says, "Wait, Becky. SSH do not worry. I thought of a way we can do. First of all I want: Say "P - P - P '" (1)

Becky said: "You mean, like" Pretzel? "It's easy." P - P - P - P - P '. "Christine replied:" Well. Now?, How do you know that writing a solid, "Becky said:" I do not know. "Christine says," You, you. Here. "You take a block and a pen and write the letter" P ". Give the chalk for Becky, and says:" Now you can write what you said before. Remember? P - P - P - P - P "Becky says," But this does not sound like the letter "P" (2)

Christine responds: "ButThis is what appears when you write. The letters can have different sounds when writing. "(3)

Becky asks: "Why?" Christine responds: "It's just like you, and you get used to. Listen, these sounds, and a copy to your voice." Peter Piper picked. "Listen" P - P - P '? "(4)

Becky said: "Sure." It stresses the initial sound "P when he speaks." Peter Piper sockets. Christine hands Becky first clean the pad and asks, "How do you spell that" P - P -P! '"Becky asks:" So as I say that? "And Christine said:" The way he said. "Becky then repeats the tone when he wrote three letters big" P "on the pad. Christine says:" Well! They just wrote what you said. Say it again. "And he points to each letter as Becky says aloud. Becky says:" P - P - P '"(5:00)

Christine will be another page in the pad on which the famous tongue twister written in large letters:

Peppers

Christine Becky pastel hands now, and says "you see all the letter 'P? "Why put a circle round them, as they have said?" Becky is a circle around each letter "P" as she says the noise, and then adds: "Wait, Mom. Here are some more." (6)

Becky is a circle around the interior P's letters with the words "Piper" and "Peppers". She asks, "How do you say that in there?" Christine says: "the same way." Becky says:"And if two together?" PPP? '"Says Christine," You say that there is still the same. P - P - P '. Becky, this is very, very well. " Becky says quickly we can do more? And Christine says: "Maybe after lunch." Becky asks: "What's for dinner?" Stresses the letter P. "Pretzel?" Christine laughs as she gives Becky a hug and says, "You're so smart! Let's listen to music.'ll See."

COMMENT

(1) Because a child's auditory Becky, who has phonologicalAwareness - a sensitivity to the sounds that compose words, and the ability to understand the variations of sounds. (Cunningham, 1990) The second area of literacy development is determined, the child's understanding of print awareness (Ball & Blachman, 1988) This cartoon helps her daughter Christine, who make the transition.

Learning (2) A problem for hearing children read, print, is that the names sound the letters of the alphabet is not the same letters in many words.In this case, the letter "P" in the alphabet is pronounced as if "Pee", but in many cases written in English, is like a noise that occlusive disease (pronounced explosive sound), without a voice.

(3) I once saw a video about teaching the alphabet, where letters''from the sound of the first person singular has been identified: "I like cake. But what about this sentence and the sound of" i? " I do not like pills. "A child who has bonded with the long" I "sound, you have aTransition to the pronunciation of the short "i."

(4) Christine example dates back to the area where Becky feels confident the sound of letters in words.

(5) Christine is now willing to read the two codes: auditory, that Becky has already summarized, as well as visual, that can help, the words we can say now is decoded.

(6:00) Becky is now in a position their knowledge base, add sounds and printed letters with the letter "P" or notthe beginning of a word.
