Phonics in Context
Speaking Briefly: An Overview of the Literacy Strategy
Phonics in Context is an instructional strategy that facilitates the development of a strategic approach to word identification (Dahl & Scharer, 2000). As students tackle unknown words, they apply word identification skills to decode. In a process-oriented approach to phonics instruction, students are encouraged to be metacognitive and reflect on how to improve their attempts at word identification (Taylor & Pearson, 2002).
The primary purpose for embedding phonics instruction within context of use is to focus the reading on comprehending the text (Roberts & Meiring, 2006). Phonics in Context is designed for teacher modeling through a read-aloud. However, it can be implemented as a shared reading for further scaffolding and intervention.
