A Model of Word Reading (Adams, 1990)
Context Processor
Meaning Processor
Orthographic Processor
Phonological Processor
Print Speech
![Page 4: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Orthographic Processor
¡ Input comes from individual letters, groups of letters, and the associative links made between them.
¡ Includes knowledge of letters and conventions of print that govern their use.
![Page 5: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Phonological Processor
¡ Input generally comes from speech, - Inner speech and speech alternatives (e.g., cued speech) can
also provide the input.
¡ Includes knowledge of words in series, syllables, syllable segmentation, rhyming, and phoneme segmentation.
![Page 6: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Meaning Processor
¡ Input comes from a combination of the individual letters (orthographic) and speech (phonological).
¡ Includes knowledge of vocabulary and receptive language comprehension.
![Page 7: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Context Processor
¡ Input comes from combination of individual letters (orthographic), speech (phonological), and meaning processor.
¡ Involves the ongoing interpretation of the text (i.e., meaning-based).
¡ Includes knowledge of the world, syntax, narrative development, text structure, book conventions, and reasoning.

Universally Accessible Emergent Literacy Battery ¡ Assessment from the Centre for Literacy and
Disability Studies – still in draft form
¡ Four subtests: ¡ Concepts About Print
¡ Letter identification
¡ Phonological awareness
¡ Writing
![Page 11: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Letter identification sub-test
¡ Show me the K
¡ Show me the F
¡ Show me the A
F K A
![Page 12: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Letter identification sub-test ¡ Test all 26 upper case letters;
¡ If more than 8 correct then…;
¡ Test all 26 lower case letters;
¡ Can be administered via pointing, eye gaze or partner assisted scanning;
¡ Tells us how many letters a student knows, how instantly they recognise them, how confident they are with the alphabet;
¡ A large number of “no responses” also tells us that the student is very early in their alphabet knowledge.
![Page 13: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Incidental Teaching ¡ “Look – there’s an S on that stop sign. Just like
your name Stephanie.”
¡ “Oooh – this wombat is sleepy. That’s one of our S words.”
¡ Lots of focus on their names, then moving onto other letters.

Phonological Awareness ¡ Refers to an individual’s awareness of sounds,
syllables and words in speech.
¡ For emergent readers we aim to improve their overall phonological awareness
¡ Particular focus on hearing initial sounds in words
![Page 41: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Onset Rime ¡ Onset Rime has been shown to be one of the
most effective ways of improving phonological awareness (Adams, 1990).
¡ Rime word families in order of three levels of ease of learning ¡ Easiest: it, ay, in, ap, ill, an, ack, ip, ing, at, ore, ug, ell ¡ More difficult: aw, ide, ake, ock, unk, ick, oke, ank,
ice, ash, ump, ink ¡ Most difficult: ine, ain, ate, ail, est, ale, ight, ot, uck,
eat, ap, ame ¡ (Koppenhaver and Ericksson, 2000; based on
information collected for Cunningham et al, 1999)

Word Identification
¡ Both automatic and mediated word identification are required for successful silent reading comprehension.
¡ Strong mediated word identification skills coupled with lots of practice in connected text is the best route to automatic word identification.
![Page 48: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Assessing Word Identification
¡ Automatic Word Identification (Flash): - Assessed using words from graded word lists printed on index
cards or presented in PowerPoint - Words are flashed for less than 1/3 of a second. - 1 point for each word read when flashed.
¡ Mediated Word Identification (Analysis): - Assessed using words that were not read accurately in the flash
mode. - Students can look at word for 3-5 seconds. - 1/2 point for each word read with analysis.
¡ 18 point total to go on to next level.

Assessment Modifications
¡ Use Words ¡ Provide 4 words that are visually similar to target
word. ¡ Say, but donʼ’t show, the target word. ¡ Ask, “Show me the word I just said.” ¡ Problem: you provide speech, and student links
it to print rather than the reverse which children without disabilities are doing.
¡ Better than nothing!

Teaching
![Page 62: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Teaching Words...
¡ Needs to be comprehensive
¡ Needs to minimise metalinguistic demands
¡ Needs to be systematic and explicit
¡ Needs to be words-based (not picture-based)
![Page 63: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Three Key Purposes
1. Help children learn high-frequency words needed for fluent, successful reading with comprehension.
2. Teach children the skills required to decode and spell words they will use for reading and writing.
3. Help children understand how words work.
![Page 64: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Word Wall
¡ Used to teach words that you don’t want students to have to work to decode or spell.
¡ Used to teach words that you expect students to read with automaticity and spell with accuracy by the end of the year.
¡ Not a mastery approach.
![Page 65: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Word Wall Content Basics
¡ Unimportant words need not apply… ¡ High frequency words ¡ Generative patterns (“keywords”)
¡ at, can, like, old
¡ High utility
¡ School name, TV favourites, writing topics

The Process ¡ Typically 5 new words are added each week
¡ Some teachers in self-contained classrooms may find that they can only add 3 each week given the complexity of their students’ needs
¡ For beginning readers, the words include the 37 key words, sight words that can’t be decoded (e.g., was), and other words that are personally meaningful to the class (e.g., school mascot)
¡ Words are placed alphabetically by first letter and remain in the same place throughout the year
¡ Teach the meaning of the words and then spell the words by clapping, chanting and then writing
¡ Complete daily activities to teach the words and how they can be used to read and spell other words
¡ Refer to the wall throughout the day to encourage its use

Some Word Wall Activities 1. Dictate sentences using only Word Wall Words.
2. Spell word wall words that share a spelling pattern with the rhyming words. ¡ “I’m thinking of a word that starts with l and rhymes with
hike.”
3. Add endings to words. ¡ Add the ending “s” to make rains, then “ed” to make
rained, then “ing” to make raining.
4. Play I Spy ¡ “I am thinking of a word on the wall. It has 4 letters. It is on a
yellow card. It rhymes with the word pain. The word is …”

Visual Word Sorts
¡ Step 1: Select two key words the student knows that have a common spelling pattern ( at - pick).
¡ Step 2: Make sure student can read the two key words.
¡ Step 3: Show student a word that has the same spelling pattern as one of the key words.
¡ Step 4: Ask the student to indicate which key word has the same spelling pattern as the new word. Compare/Contrast the two words.

Auditory Word Sorts Word sorts begin to engage the phonological processor when students begin to sort words based on the way they sound prior to checking the visual pattern.
¡ Step 1: Select two key words the student knows that have a common spelling pattern ( at - pick)
¡ Step 2: Make sure student can read the two key words.
¡ Step 3: Tell the student a word that has the same spelling pattern as one of the key words.
¡ Step 4: Ask the student to indicate which key word has the same spelling pattern as the new word.
¡ Step 5: Show the student the new word and compare/contrast it with the selected key word to check.
![Page 75: Balanced Word Instruction - Supporting Students with CCN to Crack the Alphabetic Code](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052507/557cfc13d8b42a071b8b4d8e/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Spelling Word Sorts Guiding students to use the selected key word to try to spell the words prior to checking the response visually engages the phonological processor even more deeply.
¡ Step 1: Select two key words the student knows that have a common spelling pattern ( at - pick)
¡ Step 2: Make sure student can read the two key words.
¡ Step 3: Tell the student a word that has the same spelling pattern as one of the key words.
¡ Step 4: Ask the student to indicate which key word has the same spelling pattern as the new word.
¡ Step 5: Ask the student to try to use the key word to spell the new word.
¡ Step 6: Show the student the new word and compare/contrast it with the student’s spelling attempt correcting as necessary.

Sorting and Transfer
¡ Sorting ¡ Refocuses students on the words they’ve made. ¡ Find all the words you made that: (1) have the same beginning
sound (2) have # letters (3) share a spelling pattern
¡ Transfer ¡ Gets students to use what they’ve learned to do something they
haven’t been taught directly. ¡ Use the words you made to help you spell a new word that: (1)
starts with the same sound (2) ends with the same sound (3) shares the spelling pattern
