MODELS OF READING PROCESS
Bottom-Up Top-Down Blended Philosophy/Interactive
BOTTOM-UP MODEL
Reading starts with print and moves up to the mind of the reader. The reader processes, comprehends, etc. The starting point is text. Emphasis is on phonics.

TOP-DOWN MODEL
Reading starts with what the reader has in his head, experience, world knowledge, process is downward. Whole language, authentic text appeals to the reader.
BLENDED PHILOSOPHY/INTERACTIVE PROCESS
Some feel it is a two way street, uses knowledge of text but also uses prior knowledge, what is in his mind and skills.

COMPARISON OF EMERGENT LITERACY AND READING READINESS - ACQUISITION OF LITERACY SKILLS AND STRATEGIES
EMERGENT LITERACY - Children use written language and develop as readers and writers through active engagement with their world. Literacy develops in real life settings in purposeful ways. READING READINESS - Children learn to ready by mastering skills arranged and sequenced in a hierarchy according to their level of difficulty.
COMPARISON OF EMERGENT LITERACY AND READING READINESS - THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE
EMERGENT LITERACY - Children are in process of becoming literate from birth and are capable of learning what it means to be a user of written language before entering school. READING READINESS - Children must master a set of basic skills before they can learn to read.

Learning to read is an outcome of school-based instruction.

COMPARISON OF EMERGENT LITERACY AND READING READINESS - RELATIONSHIP OF READING TO WRITING
EMERGENT LITERACY - Children progress as readers and writers. Reading and writing (as well as speaking and listening) are interrelated and develop concurrently. READING READINESS - Children learn to read first.

The skills of reading must be developed before introducing written composition.

COMPARISON OF EMERGENT LITERACY AND READING READINESS - FUNCTIONAL FORMAL LEARNING
EMERGENT LITERACY - Children learn informally through interactions with and modeling from literate significant others and explorations with written language. READING READINESS - Children learn through formal teaching and monitoring (i.e.

periodic assessment of skills)

COMPARISON OF EMERGENT LITERACY AND READING READINESS - INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT
EMERGENT LITERACY - Children learn to be literate in different ways and at different rates of development READING READINESS - Children progress as readers by moving through a scope and sequence of skills
READING READINESS
-term arose in 1920s - 1930s -evolved from belief that readiness for reading is largely the result of maturation. -best set time to benefit from reading instruction
EMERGENT READING
-implies that children are becoming literate from birth and continue to develop as literate beings thoughout life -beginning instruction serves to extend literacy development in Early Childhood.

RESEARCH BASED CATEGORIES - PHONEME SEGMENTATION
Breaking a spoken word into separate phonemes while tapping or counting on their fingers each sound.
RESEARCH BASED CATEGORIES - PHONEME DELETION
Recognizing that phonemes can be removed from a spoken word and that part of the word remains.
RESEARCH BASED CATEGORIES - PHONEME ADDITION
The ability to create a new word by adding a phoneme.

EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE FOR TEACHING SIGHT WORDS
1. write word, use in sentence, underline 2. students use word attack skills to pronounce, if not successful then tell them.

3. discuss meaning - tie to experience 4. write word in isolation, what will help them remember, clues - word config, ascending, descending, length, double letters 5. students write word, say it as they write 6. students compose new sentences 7. provide practice activities

PHONICS
-recognition by sight is goal of all word identification strategies -use phonics (structural analysis) only until word has become part of sight vocabulary
PURPOSES FOR PHONICS INSTRUCTION
