Overview
1. Recent research on the characteristics of
adults with reading difficulties.
2. The time constraints and frustrations of
learners and tutors.
3. The usefulness an of analytical phonics
approach.

Characteristics of Adults with
Reading Difficulties
Adults with reading difficulties have low levels ofphonemic awareness.
Adults with reading difficulties tend to not usephonological strategies to read words.
Adults with reading difficulties perform lower than readingage matched children in decoding non-words.
Adults tend to rely on sight words limiting increases inreading vocabulary.

• It improves the readers ability to
utilise phonological strategies.
• It provides readers with a tool for
attacking unknown words.
• It facilitates a self-learning process of vocabulary
learning.
• It provides a mnemonic for remembering printed
words.
• It facilitates a process of word recognition that
leads to automaticity.
Why teach alphabetics?
![Page 12: Decoding: phonics for adults - ACAL](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012707/61a81e13f711dd55c906c6ae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The solution
A significant focus on the
systematic development of
phonemic awareness and
decoding as part of a
complete reading
programme.

Unfortunately…

Time constraints
• Tutor time with learners is limited and
infrequent.
• A lack of continuity reduces the consolidation ofknowledge.
• Normal or desired environmental conditions are not
available.
• An existing workplace text is often required to be used in
instruction (health and safety documentation etc).

Analytical Teaching Approach
Explicitly teach the skills to analyse words
&
explicitly teach alphabetics.

Rationale for Analytic
Approach
Analytic phonics:
• Follows the natural progression of phonological
awareness.
• Provides an opportunity to teach alphabetics within the
context of a larger task.
• Makes the role of letters in words explicit.
![Page 23: Decoding: phonics for adults - ACAL](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012707/61a81e13f711dd55c906c6ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rationale for Analytic
Approach
Analytic phonics:
• Provides opportunities to address historical letter-soundproblems.
• Provides adults with the skills to attack unknown words.
• Provides fast recognition of potential high frequencywords and a transfer of knowledge to new words.

Conclusion
• Alphabetics is a key to developing the reading skills of adultswho struggle to read.
• Tutors are often unable to implement systematic phonemicawareness and phonics instruction.
• Analytic phonics offers an approach that empowers thelearner to engage in word analysis outside of contact time .
• Analytic phonics may facilitate the transfer of alphabeticknowledge to unknown words providing a self generatingeffect.
