  • Essay / Making sense of orthographic mapping - 1520

    Orthographic mapping Does this make sense? The research I write about from the six articles I read and the information I learned has informed me of a massive amount of knowledge that can be used from the process of reading spelling cards , in a way that I cannot fully explain here due to ongoing research in this area. Nevertheless, I can refer to the research that mutually occurs side by side in all the articles, which I believe constitutes an important technique that will undoubtedly be a useful teaching mechanism for all teachers with weak reading students . reading difficultiesPrevention of reading difficulties must be detected and identified at the earliest stages of a child's development. “Research conducted over the past two decades has demonstrated that most reading difficulties can be corrected” (Kilpatrick 2011). Based on research, it appears that reading difficulties can be diagnosed and an intervention plan established early in a child's education. The educational establishment just needs to be aware of this and have a plan and a practice to implement. According to a study by Vellutino (1996), he conducted a study in which first graders were given an intensive intervention program and the results were found to be very good, approximately 68% benefited from the intervention and continued to do so a year later. One of the inventions focuses on site recognition, through which students can instantly recognize a set of words. This was explained in more detail in an article by Linnea Ehri (Learning to read words: theory, results and issues). Here, research was done because educators were looking for evidence to make decisions about what reading instruction to give their students. Ehri conducted a study...... middle of article...... be aware of it or at least keep an eye out for any problems that start to appear in the early stages of learning to read . I don't know if the orthographic mapping can be overcome with intervention. But, based on all the research I've read so far, reading disabilities must be a start to combating this disability in some of our children. According to Professor Kilpatrick and his article on spelling learning, he had stated that “research has shown that we can prevent or correct most reading difficulties (Kilpatrick 2011). Now our educators must understand this and use every technique at their disposal to teach reading skills to our children. Perhaps they should start by reading Professor Kilpatrick's article and understand the need to use all available research in their classrooms..
