Hi Peak Literacy

Friday Facts on Dyslexia!

Did you know that dyslexia is the most common learning disability? The good news is that early identification and intervention can reduce the percentage of children reading below basic in 4th grade by 33%.

The Academic Language Therapy Association is a source of help, equipping educators, advising policymakers, and improving reading in communities nationwide.

Dyslexia is the most common learning difference. It is believed that 10-20% of the population has some form of dyslexia.

When we say dyslexia, we

‼️Did you know that the United States Department of Education sent out a letter in 2015 to all schools clarifying that there is nothing in the IDEA that prohibits the use of the term dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia in an IDEA evaluation, eligibility determination, or IEP document?

For quite some time, there has been a shift in language within the community from the person first to identify first. This is a personal decision, but as we see the being highlighted and the movement for options to identify on platforms like LinkedIn, awareness of this shift in language for neurodiverse thinkers is essential.

So, let's say dyslexia. Let's educate ourselves so that we can better serve and honor our students. 🦋

Hi Peak Back with a few literacy jewels.
PRAGMATICS AND SEMANTICS!!

Semantics! I know, it sounds like a snooze-fest, especially for parents. But hold on, I've got some secret sauce from my speech and hearing sciences and dyslexia therapy background, let me tell you how semantics rocks literacy. Semantics is the study of meaning and involves understanding intentions which helps us interpret and communicate effectively. Semantics is simply vocabulary and weighs heavily on .

Pragmatics, the art of navigating the social language dance floor! It's like knowing when to bust out a funky word or keep it cool with a classic phrase. Let's teach our kids the groovy ways of communication!

plays a significant role in various aspects of literacy, impacting both reading and writing abilities. Here are 5 key areas where morphology influences literacy:

1. Word Recognition: Morphological knowledge helps in recognizing and decoding unfamiliar words. By understanding morphemes and their meanings, readers can break down complex words into smaller meaningful units, facilitating word recognition. For example, knowing that "un-" is a prefix indicating negation can help readers understand the meaning of words like "unhappy" or "unusual."

2. Vocabulary Development: Morphology contributes to vocabulary growth by allowing readers to understand the meanings of new words based on their morphemic structure. When readers encounter an unfamiliar word, they can use their morphological knowledge to infer the meaning of the word by analyzing its morphemes. For instance, if readers know the meaning of the root "bio-" (related to life) and the suffix "-logy" (study of), they can deduce the meaning of "biology" without prior exposure to the word.

3. Spelling: Understanding morphology aids spelling accuracy. When writers know the morphological patterns and rules of a language, they can apply this knowledge to spell words correctly. For example, knowing that the suffix "-ly" is used to form adverbs can help writers accurately spell words like "quickly" or "happily."

4. Word Meaning and Semantics: Morphological knowledge enhances comprehension by providing insights into the meanings of words. By identifying and understanding the morphemes in a word, readers can infer its meaning and make connections with related words. This ability to analyze and interpret morphological structure contributes to a deeper understanding of word semantics.

5. Word Formation and Productivity: Morphology influences word formation and creativity in writing. Writers can use morphological processes to create new words, modify existing ones, or employ wordplay for rhetorical effect. Understanding how affixes, roots, and other morphological elements combine allows writers to expand their vocabulary and express themselves more effectively.

Overall, morphology plays a crucial role in literacy, impacting word recognition, vocabulary development, spelling, word meaning, and word formation. By understanding the structure and function of morphemes, individuals can enhance their reading and writing skills and develop a more profound grasp of language.

Ever wonder why many scholars who demonstrates difficulty with academics also appear “troubled” emotionally demonstrating “defiant and insubordinate” attitudes. This snapshot explains it. They desire to be heard and understood but lack the vocabulary to properly express their feelings and the receptive language to comprehend.

Dyslexia is a disorder that affects the processing of phonological information, resulting in a specific difficulty with reading. This condition is caused by a neurological developmental language disorder.

Phonology focuses on the sounds of our language. Importantly, processing of phonological information is the foundation of literacy development.
