Thank you to Molly and Tessa for the support to make sure that every aspect was considered in a methodological way. So happy to hear others can see that now too!
Thank you for promoting sounds over names. Prior to getting my reading specialist credential, I was trained in PhonoGraphix and have read all the books by Diane McGuinness. When I had the opportunity to teach a kindergarten class a few years ago, I never referred to letter names. You say:. Stanislas Dehaene agrees with you, and in Reading in the Brain says that far from being helpful, letter names may even delay learning to read since the brain processes phonemes. Working with hundreds of struggling readers over the years, I have found that many are confused by having been taught names and sounds simultaneously.
Really good and timely work, Alison. We both disagree! Best regards, John. That moment really confirmed for me how unnecessarily complicating and confusing it all is. Fantastic investigation! Thank you so so much Alison for providing this timely article. I work in an area where THRASS is the most popular method of teaching reading and so many kids are reaching Secondary School with extremely low literacy levels. There is a push from a minority for structured systematic phonics and the schools that have taken that on have seen remarkable differences.
Once teachers know about cognitive load theory and the difference in teaching methods it is clear why THRASS is fundamentally flawed. Thank you for this interesting article to read, and discuss. Similar to me making judgements on a musical instrument and the way it looks without being taught how to use it.
I have to attend PD that I disagree with all the time and it presents perfect opportunities to discuss best practices. You make some valid points in your article and I like the idea of the sound wall vs word wall. I have made many resources and bought some too. Yes the US sound walls have 18 vowel sounds, because American English is a rhotic accent with different vowels from ours. Great to hear you are able to fill gaps in your teaching sequence, which sequence are you using?
Sorry Alison. That was a typo on my part as it should have said 24 consonant and 20 vowel sounds. My fault for trying to type discussion points on my phone, instead of a laptop.
Thanks Alison! I love the title! On so many occasions I felt like leaving the room due to the use and explanations given using this program. These were children who could not even sound out CVC words or blends let alone understand schwa! It made me mad that these children were doomed to fail even in their beginning year of school when the foundations of reading and writing should have been, and could have been, a high priority.
Children identify the sounds, and write their grapheme choices for each one. We discuss which are correct and which ones are not. If the grapheme option is not there, we then turn to somewhere like the Spelfabet spelling lists to look at other options. Why are tickets to this event FREE? Join for free Thrass chart..
