Speech and Print Part 1
Course Description:
Speech to Print Part 1
Speech-to-print is a teaching method that helps students learn to read and spell by mapping spoken words to written words:
Start with sounds: Begin by focusing on a speech aspect like a phoneme, syllable, or morpheme. For example, you can teach the /s/ sound using the letter "s". Segment the word: Break the word down into its sounds. For example, the word "cat" can be segmented into the sounds "C-A-T". Match sounds to letters: Connect the sounds to their corresponding letters. For example, you can use movable alphabet tiles to spell the word. Build words: Build words using the graphemes you've learned. Read back: Read back the word you've spelled to practice decoding. Analyze articulation: Pay attention to how the student is articulating the sounds. For example, you can check if their lips are touching, or if their tongue is touching the roof of their mouth. Use a sequential approach: Start with common correspondences and patterns before moving on to less common ones.
The speech-to-print approach can help students learn to read and spell faster. It also helps students develop phoneme awareness, which is important because the brain is organized in this way.
