Alphabetic Principle

Understanding that the sequence of letters in written words represents the sequence of sounds (or phonemes) in spoken words

LEER MAS Revised 2006 3

Alphabetic Principle Includes

• Recognizing, naming, and producing the letters of the alphabet;

• Using letter-sound knowledge and syllables to decode written language;

• Using a variety of syllable strategies to read beginning reading texts; and

• Using letter-sound knowledge to move towards conventional spelling.

Letter-Sound Correspondence Instruction

• Is explicit and systematic,

• Presents initial instruction of vowels associated with syllables,

• Provides immediate clarification, and

• Progresses to blending syllables to read words.

Guidelines for Teaching Letter-Sound Correspondence

• Teach more frequently-used letters and sounds• Establish a logical order of introduction• Begin with a productive sequence that permits making

and reading syllables and then words as quickly as possible

• Separate the introduction of auditorily similar letter-sound correspondences

• Introduce a few letter-sound correspondences at a time

• Provide many opportunities for practice

Word Study Strategies for Accurate and Fluent Decoding

• Blend together all of the syllables in a word• Recognize high frequency words• Use common spelling patterns• Use common syllable patterns• Use structural clues (compound words, base words,

and inflections)• Use knowledge of word order and context to support

pronunciation and confirm word meaning

Learning to Spell

• promotes letter-sound knowledge and phonological awareness.

• develops syllable-word knowledge.• should be taught explicitly.

Phonetic spelling enhances phonological awareness, accelerates conventional spelling, and reveals what students know about sounds and letters.

Why is Alphabetic Principle Important?

• Understanding the alphabetic principle is key to learning to read in a language that is represented by an alphabet (Spanish and English).

• Research has demonstrated that Spanish successful readers rely primarily on syllable-word correspondences rather than context or pictures to identify familiar and unfamiliar words.

Monitoring Student Progress

• Identify letter names,• Make appropriate letter-sound correspondence

connections,• Make appropriate blending of sounds to form

syllables,• Decode unfamiliar words,• Read single words in isolation, and• Read orally with fluency and accuracy.

Using formal and informal assessments, regularly monitor the students’ ability to

Monitoring Student Progress

• Graphophonemic Knowledge (K)– Letter-name identification– Letter-to-sound linking

• Graphophonemic Knowledge (1)– Letter-to-sound linking only

• Sight Words (K)• Word Reading (1 and 2)• Dictation (2)• Reading Accuracy and Fluency (1 and 2)

In the Tejas LEE, alphabetic principle is assessed in the sections called
