19. Word Study/Spelling 74% of children who are poor readers in the third grade remain poor readers in the ninth grade (Lyon & Alexander, 1996)

20. Phonemic Awareness�effects on Reading and Spelling

21. Orthographic Errors�Test of Written Spelling

22. Objective: Case study analysis to apply information about phonemic awareness and orthography to normally developing child Trainer�s Script: This is an example of a rather precocious first grader attempting to spell words throughout the first grade year�probably at about 2-3 month intervals. Have teachers discover the following Main points through questioning: At the beginning of the year (first column), note minor phonemic awareness issues (akt, tgk, etc.) but generally pretty strong Second column: better PA (askt, r in flowers, etc.)�point out how hard �think� is (coarticulation of /n/ and /k/--where is tongue when you say /n/ generally�where is it in this word? Why?)�also point out the �ae� in �neat� as the beginnings of awareness of orthography Third column: exciting element here is the appearance of morpheme �ed� and the �n� in �think� Next two columns indicate increasing awareness of orthography with most words being spelled correctly by the end of the year (�ey�, �er�, �ou�)�think is still hard Objective: Case study analysis to apply information about phonemic awareness and orthography to normally developing child Trainer�s Script: This is an example of a rather precocious first grader attempting to spell words throughout the first grade year�probably at about 2-3 month intervals.
