Type

Seminar.

Addressed to:

40 teachers of English as a Foreign Language or teaching in English in Pre-Primary and first and second cycles of Primary Education.

Justification

Nobody will discuss the fact that a foreign language teacher needs to teach sounds. Teaching phonics is the key to learn to read and write. The two main theories of teaching phonics need to be known and analyzed.

Aims

·  To get to know the different theories of learning to read.

·  To understand the different approaches and activities related.

·  To learn the stages in the reading process and some suggested activities to improve their teaching skills.

·  To provide teachers with a range of ideas to develop phonics awareness in the classroom.

·  To provide the teachers with resources to look for materiales and create their own materials.

Contents

·  What are phonics. Their goal.

·  Two theories of teaching reading skills: phonics and whole language learning.

·  Approaches: synthetic phonics and analytic phonics.

·  Sounds in the spoken world and practical ideas.

·  Sounds in the written world and practical ideas.

Methodology

The first six sessions will combine some basic theory and practice. The methodology will be practical.

In the last session teachers will share their experiences and views after doing a practice in their classes.

Teacher

CARMEN LASTRA is a pre-primary school teacher at Catalina de Foix bilingual school in Zizur. Her current teaching involves teaching in English to 3 year-olds. She is very keen on phonics and she is determined to teach the sounds in the spoken and written world to the youngest kids as a basic stage for the reading process. She has trained teachers on how to work with phonics in Pre-Primary and Primary stages.
