Morning!
We have been considering how children learn to read. Jeanne Chall identified six stages of reading through her research into this area. Read the following article and make notes on each stage. Use the framework attached to help you.

Chall Framework
Extension Work:
To what extent is Skinner's reinforcement theory important when a child is learning to read? What sort of reinforcement is used when teaching children to read?
How might an adult 'scaffold' a child's reading development when working with a child on a text? Which theorists describe the ways in which adults and children work together to develop independence in speech (we are now applying it to literacy development!)
A short film on teaching synthetic phonics - just for your interest! Will help consolidate what graphemes and phonemes are.

Have fun!
