Syllables
Word search
Within syllables there is a natural distinction between the onset and the
rime.
The onset is the opening consonant or consonant cluster.
The rime is the vowel sound and any following consonents.
Nearly 500 primary grade words can be made from the following set of
37 rimes:
-ack -all -ain -ake -ale -ame -an -ill -in -ine -ing -ink -ip -ir
-ank -ap –ash -at -ate -aw -ay -ock -oke -op -ore -or -uck -ug
-eat -ell -est -ice -ick -ide -ight -ump -unk
Some suggestions of ways to develop
phonological awareness
multi-sensory, systematic, and daily
aiming for fluent and fast word recognition
The full circle game: t a i s p - sat, sit, sip, tip, tap, sap, sat.
Phoneme discrimination - being able to pick out individual sounds
Splitting up the sounds within words and putting them together again
Words with common sounds and common letter sequences / strings
e.g.: -en den hen men pen ten
Syllable work - clapping syllables, segmentation, onset and rime
activities
Concept of rhyme—poems, jingles-leaving out the last rhyme for children
to fill in
Discriminating between rhyming and non-rhyming words
What do children need in order to become
good readers?
Sight vocabulary - key words and high frequency words
Being able to recognize words on sight eliminates the frustrating process of trying to
“break down” non-phonetic words.
The first 100 high frequency words make up one half of words in common use.
Evidence that teaching words in isolation (e.g. flash cards), is not always effective.
Better to have a word card with the high frequency word and sentence providing
context
meaningful and memorable to the child
