Advantages of Implementing a Core
Program
Increasing communication and learning
• Improving communication
– Teachers within and across grades using common
language and objectives
• Improving learning
– Provides students a consistent method or approach
to reading which is helpful for all students
– Provides teachers an instructional sequence of skill
presentation and strategies to maximize student
learning
– Provides more opportunity to differentiate
instruction when necessary
6
Essential Instructional Content
1. Phonological Awareness: The ability to hear and
manipulate sounds in words.
2. Alphabetic Principle: The ability to associate
sounds with letters and use these sounds to read
words.
3. Automaticity and Fluency with the Code: The
effortless, automatic ability to read words in
connected text.
4. Vocabulary Development: The ability to
understand (receptive) and use (expressive) words
to acquire and convey meaning.
5. Comprehension: The complex cognitive process
involving the intentional interaction between reader
and text to extract meaning.

Phonemic Awareness: Research
The best predictor of reading difficulty in kindergarten or first
grade is the inability to segment words and syllables into
constituent sound units (phonemic awareness).
Lyon 1995
Poor phonemic awareness at four to six years of age is
predictive of reading difficulties throughout the elementary
years.
Torgesen and Burgess 1998
More advanced forms of phonemic awareness (such as the
ability to segment words into component sounds) are more
predictive of reading ability than simpler forms (such as being
able to detect rhymes).
Nation and Hulme 1997
17
High Priority Skills for Kindergarten
• Students should be taught to orally blend separate
phonemes starting in mid-kindergarten.
• Students should be taught to identify the first sound in
one-syllable words by the middle of kindergarten at a
rate of 25 sounds per minute.
• Students should segment individual sounds in words
at the rate of 35 sounds per minute by the end of
kindergarten.
19
Identifying first sound:
25 sounds/minute by middle of kindergarten
Teacher:
Tell me the first sound in the word cat.
Student:
/c/
Teacher:
Listen: mouse… flower…. which begins
with the sound /ffff/?
Student:
flower
20
Segmenting sounds:
35 sounds/minute by end of kindergarten
Teacher:
Tell me all the sounds in the word
‘cat’.
Student:
/c/ …. /a/… /t/
Teacher:
Tell me all the sounds in the word
‘plate’.
Student:
/p/…/l/…/a/…/t/
21
22
High Priority Skills for First Grade
• Students should blend three and four phonemes
into a whole word by the middle of grade 1.
• Students should segment three and four phoneme
words at the rate of 35 phoneme segments per
minute by the beginning of grade 1.
• Student must master blending and
segmenting words before they can learn to
decode words in print successfully
23
Phonological Awareness
Sequence of Instruction Continuum
Concept of Word—comparison and segmentation

Alphabetic Principle K-3
39
Objectives
You will learn:
• To define alphabetic principle
• To become familiar with the research on the
alphabetic principle
• To identify the high priority skills of alphabetic
principle
• To identify and implement alphabetic principle
instruction within daily Houghton Mifflin Reading &
Lectura lessons.
40
What is the Alphabetic Principle?
• The ability to associate sounds with letters and use
these sounds to form words.
– The understanding that words in spoken language
are represented in print.
– Sounds in words relate to the letters that represent
them.
(Liberman & Liberman, 1990)
41
Alphabetic Principle
Alphabetic Principle is composed of three main
components
• Letter-sound correspondence: Understanding that
letters represent sounds
• Blending: Understanding that we blend sounds from
left to right
• Phonological Recoding: Blending sounds together to
represent a word that has meaning

45
What the Research Says About
Alphabetic Principle (AP)
•
A primary difference between good and poor readers is the ability to use
letter-sound correspondences to identify words. (Juel, 1991)
•
Difficulties in decoding and word recognition are at the core of most
reading difficulties. (Lyon, 1997)
•
Students who acquire and apply the alphabetic principle early in their
reading careers reap long-term benefits. (Stanovich,1986)
•
Because our language is alphabetic, decoding is an essential and
primary means of recognizing words. There are simply too many words
in the English language to rely on memorization as a primary word
identification strategy. (Bay Area Reading Task Force, 1996)
46
What Does the National Reading Panel
Say About Alphabetic Principle?
The meta-analysis revealed that systematic
instruction in phonics produces significant
benefits for students in kindergarten through
6th grade and for children having difficulty
learning to read.
These facts and findings provide converging
evidence that explicit, systematic phonics
instruction is a valuable and essential part
of a successful classroom reading program.
Report of the National Reading Panel, 2000
47
What Alphabetic Skills Does a Student Need to
Master to Read This Regular Word?
man
• Reading goes left to right
• Knowledge of letter sounds for ‘m’, ‘a’, and ‘n’
• Blending
• Phonological recoding
Reading is a complex process- We MUST teach
students these skills if we want them to become
successful readers
48
Why Teach Systematic & Explicit Phonics
Instruction?
By teaching explicitly and systematically:
• We teach a strategy for attacking words students don’t
know.
• We can teach ALL students to use these strategies.
• We don’t leave it up to the students to infer the strategy,
because the struggling reader won’t be able to guess it.
We must equip students with a strategy for them to
attack text in the real world.
49
Why Teach Systematic & Explicit Phonics Instruction?
If we teach a child Then she can read:
to read:
10 words

720 3-sound words
5040 4-sound words

What Skills Does Alphabetic Principle Include?
Letter-Sound Correspondences: Knowing the sounds that
correspond to letters (the sound of b is /b/, the sound of a is
/aaa/)
Regular Word Reading/Spelling: Reading/spelling words in which
each letter represents its most common sound (mat, sled, fast)
Irregular Word Reading/Spelling: Reading/spelling words in which
one or more letter does not represent its most common sound
(the, have, was)
Advanced Word Analysis Skills: Reading/spelling words that
include letter patterns and combinations (make, train, string)
Structural Analysis: Reading/spelling multisyllabic words and
words with prefixes and suffixes (mu-sic, re-port, tall-est, Wiscon-sin)

Using Curriculum Maps
• Review the curriculum map for your grade to answer the
following questions:
– What are the high priority skills for the next 3
months? ______________________________
– What other skills may be necessary to teach
before the high priority skills?

Connecting Sounds to Letters
“Very early in the course of instruction, one
wants the students to understand that all
twenty-six of those strange little symbols that
comprise the alphabet are worth learning and
discriminating one from the other because
each stands for one of the sounds that occur
in spoken words.”
Adams, 1990
62
Kindergarten Example:
Connecting Sounds to Letters
• Kindergarten Theme 6, pT20
• Connect Sounds to Letters
• Beginning Letter Display the Larry Lion card and
have children name the letter on the picture. Say:
The letter l stands for the sound /l/, as in lion.
When you see an l, remember Larry Lion. That
will help you remember the sound /l/.
• Write lion on the board. Underline the l. What is the
first letter in the word lion? Lion starts with /l/, so
l is the first letter I write for lion.
63
Kindergarten Ejemplo:
Conectar los sonidos con las letras
Kinder Tema 4, pT20
Conectar los sonidos con las letras
• Muestre la tarjeta de Beba Ballena y pida a los niños
que nombren la letra. Diga: La letra b representa el
sonido /b/, como en ballena. Cuando vean una b,
acuérdense de Beba Ballena. Esto les ayudará a
recordar el sonido /b/.
• Escriba ballena en el pizarrón y subraye la b. ¿Cuál
es la primera letra en la palabra ballena? Ballena
empieza con /b/, asi que, b es la primera letra que
uso para escribir ballena.
64
Alphabetic Principle Instruction
• PA warm up
• Letter/Sound Correspondence
• Blending (Phonics/ Decoding Strategy)
• Decodable text
• Dictation
• Word work
• High-Frequency Words
65
Blending
• Blending: The process of combining
individual sounds or word parts to form
whole words either orally or in print
• Example: combining the speech sounds
/c/, /a/, and /t/ to form the word cat.
66
Two Types of Blending
• Sound by sound blending: each sound is
identified and produced one at a time, then
blended together. /mmm/-/aaaaa/-/nnnnn/-man
• Continuous blending: sometimes called
‘whole word blending’. Each sound is
stretched out and strung to the next sound in a
word without pausing between sounds
/mmmm//aaaa//nnnnn/- man
67
Grade 1 Example:
Blending
• Grade 1, Theme 9, page T145
• Blending Routine 1
• Place Large letter cards d, r, a, and w together. Have
children blend the sounds and pronounce the word
on their own. Call on volunteers to use draw in a
sentence

Definition and Purpose
of Decodable Text
Definition: Text in which most words (i.e., 80%) are
wholly decodable and the majority of the remaining
words are previously taught sight words, including
both high-frequency words and story words.
Purpose: Instruction should always provide students
opportunities to apply what they are learning in the
context of use. Decodable text builds automaticity and
fluency in beginning readers. It is used as an
intervening step between explicit skill acquisition and
students’ ability to read authentic literature.
83
Reading Decodable Text
1. Student engagement with the text is critical!
2. Students must be prompted to track the text by pointing under
(not over or on) the text with their finger to ensure they are
actually looking at the words.
3. Teacher MUST monitor student response to make sure
students are not just parroting students next to them.
4. Students need to have sufficient practice with word reading
(blending) tasks prior to reading the decodable text to ensure
they are successful.
5. Students who struggle with reading decodable text need to
have opportunities in small groups to read and be monitored
more closely by the teacher. This will increase success with the
time spent reading during whole-group instruction.

Dictation—Definition and Purpose
Definition: Teacher regularly dictates words containing previously
taught sound/spellings and students use their sound/spelling
knowledge and the sound/spelling cards to spell the words.
Instruction progresses to sentences including previously taught
irregular high-frequency words.
Purpose: Dictation connects the decoding (reading) process to the
encoding (writing or spelling) process by demonstrating that the
sound/spellings students use to read can also be used to
communicate through writing.
89
Kindergarten Example:

Word Work
Definition and Purpose
Definition: Word work is an umbrella term encompassing
all the building, sorting, and manipulating activities used to
practice sound/spelling patterns in words.
Purpose: SBRR tells us that children need 4-14
repetitions of, or opportunities to work with, a
sound/spelling for it to become embedded in their memory.
Word work, along with blending and reading decodable
text, helps accomplish this need for repetition.

High-Frequency Words
• A small group of words that account for a large
percentage of the words in print. Many highfrequency words are irregular, that is, not readily
decodable by sounding out.
Only 100 words account for approximately
50 percent of the words in English print.
Fry, Fountoukidis and Polk, The New Reading Teacher’s Book of Lists
1985
The quick and automatic recognition of the
most common words appearing in text is
necessary for fluent reading.
Blevins, Phonics from A to Z 1998

Words in the English Language
• 50% are wholly decodable
• 37% are only off by one sound
• 50% of the words we read are made up of the
first 107 high-frequency words.

High Frequency Words in Spanish
• Because Spanish text has a more transparent
orthography (i.e. all words are decodable once
students are taught advanced decoding skills.) the
use of the high frequency word instruction diminishes
in later grades-the focus is on learning advanced
decoding skills and accurately and fluently decoding
words and building automaticity with word
recognition.

•Speaking and Viewing: Using the Theme Poster art, help
children describe the picture of the Gingerbread Man. Point to
his head, arms, feet. Discuss his features: nose, mouth, and
eyes. Explain that they are made with raisins and icing.
•Recite the familiar refrain from The Gingerbread Man: “Run,
run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me I’m the
Gingerbread Man!” Have children commit the words to memory.
•Have children pose like the Gingerbread Man, pointing to their
heads, eyes, noses, mouths, arms, hands, legs and feet. Say,
“This cookie has arms, legs, a head, eyes, and a mouth just like
people have.”

• “Now I’ll point and you give me the naming word.” (Point
to ears, hair, shoulders, elbow, hand.)
• “There are many more words for parts of the body. Who
can point to them?” (neck, wrist, ankle, foot, toe, finger,
thumb, back, chest)
•End the oral language portion of the lesson by singing
the familiar song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” If
children aren’t familiar with the song, teach them to point
as they sing.

Research on Reading Comprehension
tells us that...
Readers who comprehend well are also good
decoders.
Implications: Teach decoding and word
recognition strategies.
Time spent reading is highly correlated with
comprehension.
Implications: Provide for lots of in-class reading,
outside of class reading, independent reading.
Encourage students to read more, read widely,
and help them develop a passion for reading.

Let’s look at some examples........
160
Kindergarten Example
Strategy Focus: Summarize
Kindergarten Theme 6, Pages T62, T83
Teacher-Student Modeling Remind children
that to retell a story, good readers think about
the characters and what they do.
– Who are the characters in the story?
– What happened in the story so far?
161
Kinder Ejemplo
Estrategia: Predecir/Inferir
Kinder Tema 4, página T72, T83
Demostración: Maestro/estudiante Recuérdeles
a los niños que las predicciones pueden ser
acertadas o equivocadas.
– Antes de leer, predije que el niño y su papá
tal vez fueran al cine, pero no ocurrió. Tal vez
la próxima vez, mis ideas sean como las del
autor.
– ¿Que nos dicen el título y las ilustraciones?
162
Grade 1 Example-Strategy Focus: Question
Grade 1, Theme 6, page T109-T110
• Have children turn to Anthology page 164. Together, read the selection
title, the name of the author/illustrator, and Strategy focus.
• As you read the story, ask yourself about each animal and what it does.
Teacher Modeling Model how to ask questions about the story.
Think aloud I see from the picture on page 155 that the girl sees a
mouse. I also see a picture of a cat on the wall. I ask myself, is that the
girl’s cat. Will the girls call her cat to catch the mouse?
Quick Write You may want children to record their questions by writing in
their journals
Purpose Setting Have children preview pages 166-167 and ask their own
questions about the animals. Tell children to also use their other
reading strategies as they read.
163
Grado 1 Ejemplo Estrategia clave:
Preguntar
Grado 1, Tema 6, página T109-T110
• Pida a los niños que miren la página 164 de la
Antología. Lean juntos el título de la selección, el
nobre del autor/ilustrador, y la Estrategia clave.
Mientras lee, pregúntense qué hacen estos animales.
Demostración de la maestra Demuestre cómo hacer
preguntas acerca del cuento.
Pensar en voz alta…Veo en la ilustración de la página
165 que la niña ve un ratón. Veo también el cuadro de
un gato en la pared. Me pregunto, ¿será el gato de la
niña? ¿Llamará la niña al gato para que atrape al
ratón?

Escrtitura rápida Puede pedir a los niños que
escriban sus preguntas en su diario.
Establecer un propósito Pida a los níños que
anticipen lo que sucederá en las páginas 166
y 167. Pídales que hagan preguntas acerca
de los animales. Invite a los niños a buscar
respuestas a sus preguntas mientras leen.
Recuérdeles que utilicen sus otras estrategias
de lectura mientras leen.
165
Grade 2 Example
Strategy Focus: Monitor/Clarify
• Grade 2 Theme 1, Page 50
• Teacher-Student Modeling: Ask children
how they can make sure they understand
what they are reading. Explain that they can
stop and ask themselves questions, or
monitor what they are reading. Ask children
what they could do if they didn’t understand
what was happening on page 51.
166
Grado 2 Ejemplo
Estrategia clave: Revisar/Aclarar
Grado 2 Tema 1, página 50
• Demostración: Maestro/Estudiante: Pregunteles a
los niños cómo pueden asegurarse de que
comprenden lo que están leyendo. Explíqueles que
pueden detenerse y hacerse preguntas o revisar lo
que están leyendo. Pregunteles a los niños qué
podrían hacer si no comprendieran lo que ocurre en
la página 51. (Ellos podrían volver a leer, mirar las
ilustraciones para buscar pistas o seguir leyendo
para ver si pueden comprender el suceso.)
167
Grade 3 Example
Strategy Focus: Predict/Infer
• Grade 3 Theme 1, Page 98
• Teacher-Student Modeling: Discuss clues
on page 99 that can help students predict
what lies ahead on the hike.
• Have someone read aloud the final sentence
on page 99, and ask what predictions
students can make. Point out that bears roar
too. Ask students to explain why that
prediction is unlikely.
168
Grado 3 Ejemplo
Estrategia clave: Predecir/Inferir
Grado 3 Tema 1, página 98
• Demostración: Maestro/Estudiante: Comente las pistas de
la página 99 que puden ayudar a los estudiantes a predecir
qué vienen más adelnate en la caminata.
– La familia camina contra la corriente de los rápidos;
esuchan un rugido.
• Pida a alguien que lea en voz alta la última oración de la
página 99 y pregunte a los estudiantes qué predicciones
pueden hacer.
– La familia hallará una cascada.
• Señale que los osos también rugen. Pídales que expliquen
por qué esa predicción es poco probable.
– Si fuera el sonido de un animal, se asustarían y
retrocederían.
169
Activity
• Work with a group of three to practice just the
Comprehension portions of your Houghton-Mifflin
Reading/Lectura instruction. One person in your
group should act as the teacher, one as a student,
and one as a coach, providing feedback on the
lesson. Take turns performing each role.

Automaticity and Fluency with the Code
• The effortless, automatic ability to read words in
connected text.
• A fluent reader’s focus is on understanding the
passage by reading each word accurately and with
speed to enable comprehension.
• The term fluency incorporates two things:
• Accuracy and Pace
Adapted from Harn (2005)

The National Reading Panel report (2000) identifies the following elements as
essential in Automaticity and Fluency instruction:
Repeated
Readings
Corrective

Fluency provides a bridge between
word recognition and comprehension
(National Institute for Literacy (2001)
•Fluency “may be almost a necessary condition for
good comprehension and enjoyable reading
experiences” (Nathan & Stanovich, 1991, pg. 176).
•If a reader has to spend too much time and energy
figuring out what the words are, she will be unable
to concentrate on what the words mean (Coyne,
Kame’enui, & Simmons, 2001).

Fluency Example
Grade 2 Theme 1, page 67 &
Grado 2, Tema 1 página 67
• Rereading for Fluency
• Have children choose part of the story to reread orally in small
groups, or suggest that they read page 66 through the last
complete paragraph. Model fluent reading and coach children to
read with feeling and expression.
• For additional fluency practice with easier text, work with small
groups to reread the Reader’s Library selection “Big Hog’s
House Hunt.” Model and coach as needed
183
Fluency Example
Grade 2, Theme 1, page 41J
High frequency Words
Daily Cumulative Review
• Provide children with daily opportunities to review these
important high-frequency words. Display them on the Word
Pattern Board, and have children practice recognizing, chanting,
spelling, and writing the words. Also, display and review other
high-frequency words yet to be mastered.
• began*, their*, begin*, there*, goes*, thought*, gone*, very*
*Previously taught in grade 1
184
Fluency Example
Grado 2, Tema 1, página 41J
Palabras de uso frecuente
Repaso diario acumulativo
• Dé diariamente a los niños oportunidades para repasar estas
importantes palabras de uso frecuente. Muéstrelas en el
tablero de palabras y pida a los niños que practiquen el
reconocer, recitar, deletrear, y escribir las palabras. También,
muestre y repase otras palabras de us frecuente que todavía no
dominen.
• sí*, amigo*, día*, bien*, gusta*, debajo*, cuatro*, está*
*Enseñada en grado 1
185
Additional Fluency Building Activities
Fluency building should be short-term practice
scheduled frequently within and across days to
build skill to a level of automaticity.
186
Two Major Components for Automaticity and
Fluency with the Code
1. Building automaticity at the sound or
word level
2. Building automaticity reading in
connected text
187
Letter-Sound/Word Automaticity
Example: The 1 Minute Dash
Preparation:
(a) Identify a set of letter-sounds/words students can correctly
identify.
(b) Create/use multiple cards of each letter-sound/word in the set.
Activity:
1. Set a goal (i.e., 30 letter sounds correct).
2. Do a 1-minute small-group practice. Position cards so all can see.
3. Start the stop watch.
4. Present the first letter sound/word card so all students answer.
5. Provide quick corrective feedback on errors.
6. Continue presenting letters/words adjusting the pace of
presentation systematically.
7. Letter-sounds/words correctly identified go in one pile. Place
errors in a second pile.
8. At the end of 1 minute, tally the number of letter sounds/words
correct.
9. Review errors and repeat activity for 1 more minute.
188
Word Reading Automaticity Examples
1. Paired peer practice. Pair a higher performer with a
child who needs fluency practice. Use similar
procedures as in 1-Minute Dash. Each child may use
his/her set of known but not fluent words.
2. Word recognition grid. Prepare a 5x5 grid of 5
words. One word per row randomly ordered. Include
a short review of words. Then, do a timed recall of the
words.

Connected Text Fluency Instructional Strategy
Individual Strategy: Repeated Reading
For individual students needing to increase reading fluency use the
following steps:
1.
Identify short reading passages (approx. 150 words)
students can read with >95% accuracy
2.
Have student read for 1-minute as quickly and accurately
as possible and determine words correct per minute (cold
reading)
3.
Identify and mark a target rate approximately 30% faster
than cold reading
4.
Have student independently reread passage with
timer until they obtain target rate
5.
Teacher repeats step 2 to determine if goal was determined
6.
Graph progress
(Adapted from Howell & Nolet, 2001)
191
Example of Repeated Reading Steps
1. Identify passages student
can read with high accuracy
(>95%)
2. Collect cold reading cwpm
3. Determine 30% increase
wpm and mark
4. Student practices reading
out loud with timer to reach
goal
5. Teacher does hot timing
again
6. Monitor and graph progress
