Early Literacy episodes discuss how children learn to read and write. The topic vocabulary repeats naturally across episodes, which reinforces retention — and the clear, measured delivery suits focused dictation work.
Hit "Start dictation practice" — all 7 minutes are already sliced into sentences, so practice starts immediately. No wait.
Expect longer sentences and richer vocabulary — replay freely, and slow the speed if a sentence runs away from you.
Switch to Dictation mode, type each sentence, and get a word-by-word diff with your accuracy score.
01Reading and writing in English are very valuable skills.
02But unlike learning how to speak, these skills do not come naturally.
03Reading instruction needs to be carefully and clearly explained.
04Direct, planned instruction is needed for success.
05Each stage in this reading skills series has its own video and article with tips, strategies, and suggestions for assessment.
06This article explains those stages.
07It also gives tips on using teaching strategies and methods.
08Reading uses many skills.
09These skills build upon each other, but they can also develop at the same time.
10Reading begins with pre-reading stages.
11These stages are print awareness, phonological awareness, and phonemic awareness.
12Then come the reading skills of phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
13Here are some short definitions of these terms.
14Print awareness.
15As children begin speaking, they realize letters and words have meaning.
16They learn how books work.
17They notice letters and words on food products and signs around town.
18Educators call this print awareness.
19Phonological awareness.
20In the next stage, students find and work with the sounds in language.
21Phonological awareness is understanding the sounds of spoken language.
22It involves many skills, from making rhymes, to counting syllables, to counting words in a sentence.
23Phonemic awareness.
24As students master these early phonological skills, they can begin to move on to the next stage.
25Phonemic awareness.
26Phonemic awareness is the most advanced type of phonological awareness.
27It deals with the smallest units of sound in a word, a phoneme.
