Alphabetic Principle

•  Alphabetic Principle: interrelationships among letter-sound 

  • (grapheme-phoneme)

  
  

•  phonemic awareness

  • Letter sound correspondence

  • Adding deleting sounds

    • Adding and deleting sounds by adding and deleting letters they can actually see

  • Substituting sounds

    • Change a letter to se how it changes the word

• beginning decoding (sound by sound; blending)

  • Understanding  simple spelling patters

    • 2-3 letter words

    • blending sounds

• Instruction

  • Introduce sound and spelling

    • Conduct sound by sound decoding for CV or CVC words

    • Blend sounds to determine the word

• Activities

  • Elkonin boxes

  • Letter cards

The Role of Writing & Alphabetic Principle(we can see their understanding of phonemic awareness by their writing) 

• pre-phonetic spelling(scribbles)

  • Focus on→ initial and final sounds

• Semi phonetic writing(bic- bat)

  • Focus on→ final and medial sounds

• Phonetic writing(kat-cat)

  • Focus on→ understanding spelling patterns
