The
Speech-Language-Pathologists Role in Literacy Education in Ohios Schools
Submitted
By Phonics Phonics Instruction defined by the National
Reading Panel: Phonics Instruction is a way of teaching reading
that stresses the acquisition of letter-sound correspondences and their use in
reading and spelling. Approaches
to Teaching Phonics: (National Reading Panel Report) Analogy PhonicsTeaching
students unfamiliar words by
analogy to known words (e.g.,
recognizing that the rime segment of an
unfamiliar word is identical to that of a familiar
word, and then blending the known rime with the new
word onset, such as reading brick by
recognizing that -ick is contained in the known
word kick, or reading stump by
analogy to jump). Analytic PhonicsTeaching students to analyze letter-sound relations in previously learned words to avoid pronouncing sounds in isolation. Embedded PhonicsTeaching students phonics skills by embedding phonics instruction in text reading, a more implicit approach that relies to some extent on incidental learning. Phonics through SpellingTeaching students to segment
words into phonemes and to select letters
for those phonemes (i.e., teaching
students to spell words phonemically). Synthetic PhonicsTeaching students explicitly to convert letters into sounds (phonemes) and then blend the sounds to form
recognizable words. Phonics and decoding are sometimes used
interchangeably. Learn the importance

are the Knowledge and Skills a Speech-Language Pathologist has that will
contribute to effective instruction and intervention for students struggling
with the alphabetic principle (phonics)? As with phonological and phonemic awareness, the
Speech-Language Pathologist brings unique and specialist knowledge of speech
development, sound production, sequencing, coarticulation, and phonological
processes which can provide crucial information when applied to analysis of
childrens decoding (reading) and encoding (writing) errors. Specific error
types are often closely tied to the actual articulation process, and the
Speech-Language Pathologists understanding of that process may shed light on
what instruction methods and sequence of instruction may be most appropriate
for a particular student.
