Podcasts about Phonics

This podcast explores a series of question about sight vocabulary, its role in reading development, and how it is best dealt with in the classroom.

This podcast explores the relationship between phonics teaching and morphology instruction. Some authorities suggest that morphology should replace phonics, while others see it as a supplement to phonics that should be delayed until decoding is well in hand.

Jonathan Sterne is one of the most influential scholars working on sound and listening. His 2003 book, The Audible Past: Cultural Origins of Sound Reproduction, had a formative influence on the then-nascent field of sound studies. His 2012 book, MP3: The Meaning of a Format, was both a fascinating cultural history and a deep meditation on the purpose of compression technology in capitalism. Today, Sterne talks to Phantom Power about his new book, Diminished Faculties: A Political Phenomenology of Impairment (Duke UP 2022). Specifically, he tells the story of the “Dork-o-phone,” a vocal amplifier he wears to give talks or communicate in loud spaces. Jonathan explains why he wears the Dork-o-phone, what it's taught him about voice, technology, and disability, and how his experience informs Diminished Faculties' “phenomenology of impairment.” This is the third and final part of our series, Voices. Although you don't need to listen to the other episodes first to enjoy this one, here are the links to part one and part two.

You may have heard of the word ‘Fortean‘ but do you really know what it means? Tonight on Ground Zero we listen closely to the sounds of anomalous phenomena and Clyde Lewis is joined again by ‘Ghost Mine‘ owner and star Larry Overman on the night of that show's season finale as we all learn to speak the language of ‘Fortean Phonics‘!Originally Broadcast On 2/20/13

You've asked, and we are finally delivering! Laura delves into the topic of early phonics and letter sounds, particularly for children aged three to six, aligning with Montessori principles. Laura explains a bit about how early literacy and phonics is approached in the Montessori setting, as well as discusses the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction, highlighting its multisensory, evidence-based methods. Emphasizing a child-centered, tactile approach to teaching letter sounds, she provides insights into phonetic teaching practices, shares personal anecdotes, and offers practical tips for both parents and homeschoolers. Particularly, she focuses on the importance of building and encouraging literacy by making the learning process fun and engaging for young children. 00:00 Introduction to Coffee Talks 00:26 Apologies and Acknowledgements 01:18 Today's Topic: Early Phonics 02:41 Understanding Orton-Gillingham 04:10 Montessori and Multisensory Learning 04:37 Challenges with Flashcards 06:58 Teaching Phonetics at Home 09:12 First Pass Through the Alphabet 18:10 Advanced Phonics and Spelling Rules 20:24 Handling Tricky Words 24:52 Encouraging Early Writing 26:20 Conclusion and Final Thoughts --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/montessorimomsinthewild/support

This podcast explains the three-cueing approach and why it is not a good idea for instruction. But several states have passed laws or formulated regulations prohibiting the practice. Is that a good idea? Tune in to find out the answer to that question.

Join us for this fascinating and informative conversation with Dr. Patricia Vadasy, researcher and literacy expert, as we explore phonics instruction, and the research behind it. We will consider the critical nature of alphabet knowledge in teaching young learners how to read and spell words. Throughout her career, Dr. Vadasy has worked to develop effective approaches to early phonics instruction. More recently, she published her research about instructional details that enhance phonics instruction, and effective approaches and details of preschool alphabet instruction. Her school-based intervention research has been funded since 1998 with grants from the U. S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences. For classroom teachers and administrators who are determined to give early learners the best possible foundation to become successful readers, this conversation will give you the facts behind phonics instruction, the strategies, and impetus to move forward knowing your instruction is the best it can be.Dr. Vadasy will review and discuss:The National Reading Panel findings about effective features of phonics instruction, including explicit, systematic, and synthetic phonics instructionHow the research informs effective phonics instruction, including applying taught letter-sound correspondences and application to beginning decodingIndividual differences in learning these skills and where students struggleThe benefits of practice in reading words in isolation and in sentence and story contextsProviding student support in the classroom and in supplemental instruction

Sometimes, teachers can struggle to "fit it all in" when it comes to reading.

We also expose the symbiotic relationship between vocabulary and comprehension, underscoring the pivotal role of knowledge in decoding texts.We then traverse the landscape of oral language in reading instruction and the implications of isolating reading from writing. Can you guess the impact of these practices on student learning? Doug enlightens us on the significance of comprehension strategy instruction and the importance of developing all elements of reading literacy. To cap it off, our conversation concludes with three practical suggestions that you, as an educator, can apply in your classroom for immediate impact.

Today on the Play On Words Podcast from Big City Readers we are talking about supporting your toddler's language development and how it connects to learning to read with speech-language pathologists Katie and Carly of Wee Talkers. We dive deep into the world of toddler speech development, reading foundations, and milestones—and what it really means when kids hit (or don't hit) those milestones on time.Katie and Carly share personal stories of their own children—some early readers, some needing extra help—and we have an honest conversation about why learning to read early isn't necessarily a sign of future success. If your toddler isn't rattling off the ABCs yet, that's OK!What we cover: How many words should my toddler know? We break down the speech milestones and when to worry (or not). Phonics vs. Phonological Awareness: What do these terms actually mean, and why are they key to building reading skills? Understanding vs. knowing words: Does your child really understand what they're saying? Should you teach your child to read at home? Or let them learn in school? Reading intervention: The truth behind why some kids need it, and how you can support your child if they do. The Covid baby effect: How pandemic-born toddlers are showing delayed milestones—and how to catch up. How to help your child right now: Actionable steps to boost speech and reading at home, no matter where they are on the learning spectrum. Language and anxious toddlers (and parents): How to navigate anxiety in kids struggling with communication.Whether your child is a late talker or already showing early signs of reading, this episode is packed with tips, insights, and a little bit of humor to help you navigate it all.Links: Wee Talkers Instagram: @weetalkers Big City Readers Instagram: @bigcityreaders Phonological awareness checklist Language milestone checklist

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...     - The urge may be to talk your child out of thinking they're "dumb," but it can be helpful to stay with this feeling and lean into being curious about her experience.   - How to zoom out and determine if your child is speaking out of frustration and is just emoting or if they actually have internalized that they think they aren't smart.   - How to talk with your child in a way that helps build back their confidence in themself when they are struggling to learn something new, like reading.   - We also want to try not to catastrophize this situation either - just because your child is saying this doesn't mean they will permanently have a poor self-image.   - You can boost your child's self-confidence by feeling confident in their ability to handle the challenges they face.   - How to get clear with your kid about what they think "smart" and "dumb" means, and building flexibility around those ideas.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:
