Activities to Promote Reading Development

_____ PART II: ACTIVITY PACKETS Activities to Promote Reading Development II 57 Activities to Promote Reading Development Adult English language learners come from diverse backgrounds and have widely differing literacy experiences in their first languages. A number of factors influence the ways their English literacy develops and the progress they make in learning to read English. These factors include level of literacy in their first language and in English, oral language proficiency in English, educational background, personal goals for learning English, and the structure and writing system of their first language. These factors must be taken into account in all areas of program planning, learner placement in classes, and instructional approaches. This section looks at types of native language literacy and the Reading process.

Phonological processing (or decoding) involves interpreting written letters as sounds and combining letters correctly into words. This skill includes awareness of individual speech sounds and the ways they are represented in print, and the way that language is represented in print by letters, words, syllables, and word breaks.
