Special Needs Reading

Phonics : The Fundamentals of Language

  • Assess your classroom for its readiness to modify student thinking and enable early, efficient reading by Special Needs students
  • Employ 3-tier cueing system (semantic, graphophonic, and syntactic) to advance sound awareness and identify words
  • Sharpen all students’ ability to hear phonemes, graphemes, and vowel patterns and use appropriate games for guided practice
  • Help students with weak cognitive functions and/or aural ability to discriminate sounds and enunciate clearly
  • Develop efficient visual transport, sound connection, and careful pronunciation
  • Structure small groups for productive differentiation
  • Design lessons to reinforce the fundamentals within a balanced reading context
