Reading Endorsement - Competency 2: Application of Research-Based Instructional Practices
In this course teachers will scaffold student learning by applying the principles of research-based reading instruction and integrating the six components of reading. Teachers will engage in the systematic problem solving process: use data to accurately identify problems, analyze those problems, design and implement interventions, evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and intensify instruction based on individual student needs.

Mastering the above skills is quite an achievement and places beginning or struggling readers on the path to reading success.Now that your child or student(s) has established the alphabetic principle and is able to decode basic code words, it is time to teach them the reading skills needed to decode words containing advanced code. Specifically, children must understand that:
1. Sometimes two or more letters represent a sound.
shop, chip, this, boat, cake, spoon, night, brown, her, & dough
Each of these words contains advanced code. Research indicates that by fourth grade 60 percent of the written words children see contain sounds represented by advanced code. Grasping the concept that two or more letters can represent a sound can be very difficult for many children. If we expect children to develop good reading strategies, we must expand their understanding of the alphabetic principle and help them make the leap from basic code to advanced code. Here is a simple way to illustrate the logic of the advanced code for them. Click here to see the Logic of Advanced Code!
2. Most sounds can be represented in more than one way.
This variation in our written code is called CODE VARIATION. As the picture on the left illustrates, the sound /oo/ in our language can be represented seven different ways! Learning the various spellings for the various sounds in our language requires lots and lots of teaching and practice. Remember, we are teaching children to break a code so we need to teach them how the code works! The reading activities below will help you!
Vowel Code Variation
Print a list of code variation for each vowel sound in the English Language. Each list is organized top to bottom, most frequently occurring variation to least frequently occurring variation.
3. Some letter combinations can represent more than one sound.
This inherent aspect of the English written language is called CODE OVERLAP and is illustrated by the picture to the left. Code overlap refers to the fact that some letters and/or combinations of letters can represent more than one sound. For example, the letter combination 'ea' can stand for the sound /ee/ as in 'read', /ae/ as in 'steak' or /e/ as in 'head'.

Depending on who is asked,vocabulary is defined as words needed to read, or as words necessary to communicate.
Regardless of how it is defined, the importance of vocabulary in reading comprehension has been widely recognized by reputable researches.
Researches agree that vocabulary acquisition is a acomplex process; it can be learned by everyday experience, and by direct instruction.
They also agree that although direct instruction is very important, the techniques to teach vocabulary varies according to the student.
