Description

Ten Beloved Fairy Tales for Kids to Read on their Own! Do you have a child or student who still struggles to read despite years of phonics instruction? Has your child “given up” on learning to read? Phonics is an auditory strategy that can be difficult for students who have challenges with hearing, language, and short-term memory. For these students, it is hard to hear , articulate , and remember the subtle differences between sounds. There is an alternative to phonics-based instruction that has proven highly successful for children with Down syndrome, and may work for your child as well. It’s a reading strategy called Match-Select-Name . Match-Select-Name is a “whole word” reading strategy. The child learns to read by visually matching, selecting, and naming the whole word. This approach reinforces the idea that words have meaning and are not just part of an isolated exercise involving phonics rules, symbols, and sounds. Do we give up on phonics? No! Current recommendations for using this method are: a whole-word language approach that begins with at least 50 sight words, followed by structured, explicit phonics instruction s delivered at a slower pace with frequent opportunities for practice. This book is part of the Teach Your Child With Down Syndrome to Read series.
