Special Needs Reading

Phonemic Awareness

  • Utilize a cognitive framework in your balanced literacy program
  • Assess how phonemic awareness is hindered by impulsivity, unsystematic perception, left/right confusion, imprecision and inaccuracy, and piecemeal and irrelevant letter selection
  • Adjust running records, rubrics, and alphabet knowledge tests to account for cognitive deficiencies in Special Needs students
  • Adopt fun activities such as Listen and Draw, Pair Coaching, and I Spy Mighty Phonemes to yield precise, accurate, and exact sound discrimination
  • Design lesson plans with differentiated group instruction that engage and motivate Special Needs students
