Week5&6--The new technology assist stident's learning

On this Wednesday, I went to do my placement. The mentor teacher brought one issue that in the class some children are struggling with reading difficulty. The mentor teacher hope me focus on one child and one by one support the child who has the reading disability.

Since I am doing this unit on line, I think I might work out some ideas to assist this student' reading difficulty via technology (you tube, image and video etc.).

I browsed what is the reading difficulty which could be diagnosed 'Dyslexia'









Now as we know what is the dyslexia, and experts suggest some approaches to assist those children who have reading difficulty- Combine the sound of alphabet allow child to pronounce the big words.

Like Phonics is the way to help them.

The process of Using Phonics is that decode each letters and then encode the letter into words, but before this, we have to let the child is familiar with the sound of each alphabet.







The next step is that the child must know the sound of blending consonants and the spelling rules. Some example as follows.





All the consonant blends have been familiar with the child, it can be given some games to the child to assess his/her learning, such as using the mini phonics cards.

How do you do? Using the watch stop in a certain time and see how many seconds the child has achieved.

And also, the last but not the least, find short reading to allow the child to have a go in the limited time. The reading can be any topics. Example as follows:

Once, the child has been built the confidence, subsequently, the reading paragraph can be added.
