Module 5: Reading Reflection


Where does phonics instruction fit within a comprehensive literacy program? When and how would you teach phonics?

  

Phonics instruction fits with a literacy program in many ways. It can be in reading aloud, guided reading, working with word families, or writing. When they do guided reading they are practicing reading the wrods and connecting the sounds. If they are writing they practice the different sounds.
I did my prominent research paper on Patricia Cunningham. I feel that she has a good balance approach when it came to teaching phonics in classroom.  dividing instruction equally among four different approaches to reading – Guided Reading, Self-selected Reading, Writers' Workshop, and Working with Words. A balanced approach to reading is based on a whole-part-whole format that helps students use their phonics skills with whole texts, including storybooks and their own writing.I would follow her model on teaching phonics in the classroom. I don't feel that phonics should be taught in its own little block. It needs to be incorporated with other lessons throughout the day.  She believed in a balanced reading instruction can be achieved simply by  Phonics should be connected to meaningful reading experiences that enhance literacy development and the love and joy that is associated with reading quality material
