Kylie Mckay - consultant assessor specialist educator
- What is Playbased learning
- Look at the research - How and Why and When
- Learning principles of structured literacy
- Consider ways we already teach areas of literacy
- Reconsider way to include structured literacy through play
Session 1
DATs from data adapting actions and beliefs
IN Nz done phonics, and balanced and structured literacy
What about playbased?
some research about all forms of teaching so this is about bridging the 2 together.
Do both and will succeed
Nathan Mc influential in playbased
3-7 year olds what do they need to learn? To read
So find out what they know
Continuum from Free play to direct instruction
Success using both have the tools available to find our what is needed. Need to bridge them both
BECAUSE the WHY we need to do this
Learning Matters support teachers to get kids
How do we develop phonological awareness?
She has a worry when schools go to playbased solely
Book 'play misunderstood the divide between the primary classroom'
Teachers
ALL PLAY TYPES ARE IMPORTANT IMPORTANT TO WROK ON TRANSITIONING THROUGH.PLAY WITH PURPOSE
What we do know
Play is important
it is fashionable
Important kids in front also learn how to read, write and spell
Structured literacy
- diagnostic - assessment
- Systematic step by sptep
- Cumulative each step, sounds to digraphs
- Direct teaching principles
Bridging the Reading Science to the Classroom Floor
Spelling should be taught
Identify the problem we cannot wait early intervention is crucial
Important if we have playbased philosophy and spend a lot of time playing the child will go undetected if having difficulty. SO need to add structured literacy to the program.
We know it is in the family if someone in the family has difficulty learning then tis will likely to be so in the child.
Playbased helps with vocab social language.
Q asked what if they are not ready for reading. Not being ready for reading means there is a phonological awareness lacking. So assessing on school entry enables schools to know if they are ready. Also social capabilities to interact with others.
Phonological awareness has to be taught so a child is ready for reading. This can be done well through a playbased setting.
segmenting important for spelling S-t-r-i-n-g
blending important for reading.
Practice makes permanent
What we ignore we chose to accept e.g handwriting, pencil grip. Needs to be corrected at an early age. These are fundamental skills are crucial to higher order thinking are required for reading comprehension .
Needs to be a consistent approach to teaching handwriting.
So what about those students who still haven't got this at an older age? This is the spelling test we were going to introduce to our students
Assess what they know the sounds they are missing and also reversal to letters.
- This will be the starting point
- Spelling need to be able to break words into chunks. What about sight words ( research says that kids skilled in phonemic awareness are good at this, not good practise to send home words to be learned as rote like has been done in the past).
Multisensory - crucial for reading and spelling
saying it
hear it
feel it (in your mouth)
see it
silent handwriting tasks wont do this need to say the sound and o it t the same time. This builds kinesthetics=c pathway.
sand, playdough are VEHICLES to engage
Phonological awareness matters so what are we going to do about it?
Have a look at this from another school of their literacy guidelines
Good examples of teaching vocabulary could get ideas for reading activities and maybe to include into some sort of Tic tac toe and explicit teaching??
Session 2 also in Notes with photos
Playbased-Learning
NZ kids going down hill in reading
Spelling assessment check what we are using
Structured literacy teaching must occur as direct instruction gather what we need to teach through assessment
Explicit looks like
- I do
- We do
- You do
In NZ tendency to use too many questions
Diagnostic
Explicit
Systematic
Multi sensory seeing hearing feeling in my mouth
Word level to sentence level to text level
Build sight word automaticity. Could be an irregular or phonetic word it means the word pops
Review review review essential as some kids need to see a word up to 1500 times for automaticity
Structured literacy is a pedagogy as is Playbased-Learning learning and both can be done together
Isolation application transference
Phonological is away form print alphabetic principle is when we take. It to print.
If kids have low comprehension maybe having trouble with phonological or alphabetic or fluency so important to find out what’s missing
Neuro diverse learner has to learn by code this is the same for all need to learn the code such as what is in print on page not using pictures.
Phoneme to graphemes not phonics a phonics program is a small piece of structured literacy
Alison Clarke fluency needs to happen for comprehension as it becomes automatic
Example little robot to read little need to know the le end sound
We here the ere is a complex grapheme for a new reader swimming that is a huge word and the picture will need to be used so we have been creating the strategy of using. Pulling apart some PM readers and complex words in them
If we taught spelling rules at the same time then could gain automaticity
When we read a network is going on so important to teach spelling and reading together so the above text has no system it is very difficult for kids to make progress. So saying that these books aren’t levelled they are levelled on noun count. So we are not being resourced well in NZ.
SUITABLE DECODABLE TEXTS links will be shared
Choose texts with caution for early readers especially those that struggle
Sunshine book samples were discussed
Mat time great time for phonological awareness or when leaving to mtea
Sound pack
Learning to read sound in isolation
Increasing difficulty reading how do we support the speech impediment children
Font choice is publishers font and write the other a and g next to it.
Narrow focus for automaticity eg 5 sounds
DED decode encode and decode back demo with sound cards
TALKING syllables phonemes graphemes digraph blends important we teach blends as individual sounds and not chunks.
High frequency words that show up frequently in texts
Sight words- any word that is committed to memory instantly can read and spell it
Irregular words have an irregular sound in them only 4%of words eg was want what
Orthographic
Teaching said to stop kid’s spelling it as sed. Kids can come up with their own ideas of how to remember it by heart
Handwriting can also hold up automaticity. Not a silent task verbalise sounds as they write

Spelling list essential not a good list.
Spelling list essential not a good list.
Year 5 6 learners need to teach phonological awreness
Looking forward to spelling is telling!
