Lesson # : Early readers

Intended learning outcomes:

1.Match the pictures into the box
2.Write the Missing letter to complete the word.

Introduction:

Working through reading schemes is an important process for

, but in time, it can begin to feel like a chore – and not just for you, but also for
your child. That’s where early readers – books developed for young children to read and enjoy
independently – can bridge the gap.
Early readers – also referred to as first readers – are stepping stones from picture books and
reading scheme books to longer chapter books. They’re carefully developed to tell a great story,
but in a format that children are able to read and enjoy by themselves, using familiar
vocabulary and appealing illustrations.

Overview of Reading Stages: In the Early stage, shared and interactive writing are effective
means of teaching students how words, sentences, and stories are constructed.
Shared/Interactive experiences help Early readers learn how to:

1. Attend to printed language

2. Segment words into onset and rime or phonemes
3.Identify sound(s) and write the corresponding letter(s)
4. Reread to monitor what they have written so far and plan what to write next.

Captivate:

Match the pictures with the words.

What age group are they for?

This varies. ‘As with all skills, children learn to read fluently at different rates,’ Prue says. ‘For
some, it takes weeks or a few months, but on average, it takes around 18 months.’ Some
children may be capable of tackling early readers in Reception, but in general, these books are
aimed at children aged between six and eight.

Why are early readers good for children?

Because it takes a long time to become a proficient reader, it’s vital that reading doesn’t
become a bore during this period. Reading schemes focus on phonics, decoding and learning
new words, but the key to early readers is that they engage and encourage children through
the quality of the writing.

Connect:

It is critical that teachers scaffold the selection of texts so that these

readers are reading books daily that are at the appropriate level of challenge.
Identifying a range of leveled texts from which students may choose will enable them to select
"just right" texts for independent reading. It is also important for
Early readers to have time to read and enjoy different genres on a daily basis.

Independent reading time needs to be closely monitored to see that these Early readers are
actually reading. Having students take turns reading to and listening to a partner after they
have read independently will increase the amount of time and the number of texts they read.
Early readers need to develop a growing core of known words that they can read quickly. These
words provide a basis for decoding less familiar words. Providing students with timely and
specific feedback about their writing and spelling helps them become better writers and attend
more closely to word and/or letter features. Word-sorting activities also help these Early
readers to attend to letter sequences within words.

The following charts will give you an overview of what Early readers
generally control and are learning to do, the type of texts they read, and what you
are to draw their attention to and teach before, during, and after reading a book.
