Definition
Science of Reading (SoR)
The International Literacy Association (ILA) defines
the Science of Reading (S0R) as:
“a corpus of objective investigation and
accumulation of reliable evidence about how humans learn to read and how reading should be taught.”
SoR Components:
- Phonological and phonemic awareness
- Phonic-structural analysis and spelling
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Text Comprehension
Basic Steps of Systematic Phonics Instruction:
- Phonological Awareness
- Sound-letter correspondence
- Phonemic blending and segmenting
- Individual phonemes versus whole syllables (the Spanish language research below)
- Reading syllables, words and high-frequency words
- Writing syllables, words and high-frequency words
- Reading decodable stories
Researchers have been divided about the optimal spelling-sound
unit to teach beginners to read in Spanish.
- Sargiani, Ehri, & Maluf (2019) studied Brazilian first-grade readers: Students were taught to read 40 CV words using 10 consonants and 5 vowels.
- One group was taught to sound and blend graphemes in the
CVs. - The other group was taught the CVs as whole syllables.
- Results indicated that the grapheme-phoneme group read and
spelled more accurately than syllable group.
