About the Author: NOTICE: NEW LOW PRICE! Why an ORAL Reading Assessment Test? Learning to read is an ORAL learning process: The beginning student learns to SOUND OUT the words they are learning. They learn the simple combinations like - a - plus - t - makes the word at. Then they are taught if - s - is added they now can pronounce the word sat. So it goes as the students at first SOUNDS OUT WORDS ALOUD. Later they begin to sound them out in their minds, not pronouncing the word out loud. This simple process is the basis of learning to read. If the student can PRONOUNCE the word correctly he/she can READ IT! The professional educators have succeeded in making learning to read seem like a mysterious process, when it is NOT. (Samuel Blumenfeld's book How To Tutor explains this more fully: ISBN 9780941995290) Most parents do not realize there are only 44 sounds, or phonograms, which comprise the entire English language. The short a sound, the long a sound, the short e sound, the long e sound, etc. It is not difficult to teach these relatively few sounds to the students, who can then sound out most words for themselves Many people believe that the English language is highly irregular, meaning here are a lot of non- standard word/sounds to memorize. Again, this is not true. English is about 85 % regular, meaning only about 10-15% of words the student will encounter do not follow the simple sound patterns of the 44 phonograms they will need to learn.
