Techniques for Teaching Reading Effectively
If reading came naturally, teaching would be a
much easier job. Children would learn to read as readily as they learn to speak.
Teachers would only need to give students the chance to practice their skills.
But children don't learn to read just from being exposed to books. Reading must
be taught. For many children, reading must be taught explicitly and
systematically, one small step at a time. That's why good teachers are so
important. Researchers have made a lot of progress in determining how to teach
reading more effectively, but it really comes down to the effectiveness of each
individual teacher. Teachers make the difference.
Our goal with the Young Genius Readers program
is to provide teachers with the information and findings from research to help
all students learn to read, particularly those for whom reading does not come
easy.
Although children go through a series of
predictable steps on their journey to becoming readers, many things can derail
them, such as having inadequate exposure to language at home or having a
learning disability. Teachers who know the art and science of teaching reading,
though, are able to provide skillful, effective reading instruction, and can
help students who need it overcome obstacles to becoming readers.
Children who struggle with reading don't seem
to need instruction that's different from what children who don't struggle
receive. What they do need is more intensive support. No one method will work
for all students. The best teachers develop a repertoire of strategies for
working with struggling students, many of which are included below. Some of the
effective teaching strategies to teach Reading Effectively is to focus in the
areas such as Phonemic Awareness and Phonics and Decoding.
A good program will expose the child to
alphabets. A strong predictor of the ease with which a child learns to read is
his or her familiarity with letters of the alphabet. This familiarity is a
critical building block for learning to read. It is important to go beyond
knowing the names of letters. Students must also develop a sense of the purpose
of letters. Help them notice the letters in the print that surrounds them and
that you share with them every day. Engage the students in activities that will
help them learn to recognize letters visually. Help students learn to form the
letters and encourage them to embellish their work with their names and with
other first attempts at writing.
Next is to develop the students' phonological
awareness. In listening and speaking, we pay attention to the meaning of
language rather than to its sound. To learn to read, however, students must be
taught to attend to the sounds, or phonology, of language. This is necessary for
them to understand how speech is represented by print. Children with learning
disabilities need special help in learning to develop such phonological
awareness.
Young Genius Readers conducts an Intensive 1
Year in house pre-school reading certificate program to equip teachers with the
right skills to teach pre-school children to read effectively.
