| This book is part of the Starting Comprehension series. The Starting Comprehension series is designed to promote reading for meaning in beginning readers. The 12 workbooks in the series are divided into 2 strands, which correspond to 2 reading processes: Starting Phonetically and Starting Visually. Skilled readers use phonetic, semantic, and syntactic cues to predict, test, or confirm the meaning of a passage. Able readers can move flexibly from one cue source to another, as the situation demands. Starting Comprehension is based on the assumption that children do not all learn to use these cues in the same order, or with the same ease. While most students gradually develop a balanced repertoire of strategies, some children rigidly adhere to one strategy only. The 2 strands in the series reflect the 2 types of cues that beginning readers may gravitate toward: phonetic cues (letter-sound patterns and phonetic rules) and semantic cues (pictures and word meanings). A student that starts phonetically learns sounds easily, but learns nonphonetic words less easily. A student that starts visually has a strong visual sense and learns whole words easily, especially graphically unusual words with concrete meanings (e.g., pizza). How you use the strand may depend on your teaching philosophy and the needs of your students. One teacher may select the strand that will capitalize on a child's preferred reading strategies, or reading style. Another may wish to steer a student away from a rigid approach to reading and direct attention to new cue sources. Students can alternate strands, as well. |
