Reading with TLC
Description
“Lively Letters” is a program that trains specific skill areas identified in the research as critical to the development of reading. These include letter sound associations, orthographic awareness, rapid naming of sounds, phonemic awareness, and phonetic decoding / encoding of words (sounding out words for reading and spelling).
The letters are directly embedded into pictures of lively characters that show what the mouth is doing when the sound is produced. An engaging story and hand cue help the student to elicit the sound quickly. The forty-four sounds of the language are introduced, in order of the level of difficulty, with the sounds presented initially in isolation so students can perceive their important features. The consonants are introduced in cognate pairs (example: the voiced or “noisy” /b/ with the voiceless or “quiet” /p/). The rest of the consonants are grouped according to shared features (example: the /m/, /n/, and /ng/ are introduced as a group). The vowels, also drawn as characters with specific mouth shape cues, have strong mnemonic stories and hand cues that make distinguishing between and remembering vowel sounds an easier task. For each of the letter sounds taught, as suggested by the research, the most regular and/or frequent sound associated with the letter is taught initially to avoid confusion.
As the letter sounds are introduced they are drilled in isolation, and then utilized in phonemic awareness, decoding, and encoding exercises. By learning to classify the sounds according to their oral kinesthetic features, students become more aware of the distinctive features of the sounds, and are better able to perceive the individual sounds in the phonemic awareness and phonics activities. The pictures, story cues, hand cues, and the oral kinesthetic cues combine to form a powerful, self-prompting system facilitating rapid, automatic naming of the letter sounds.
