  2. Rudimentary COW
    -Works best for one syllable words
    -Self-correction = rudimentary COW --> on the way to becoming beginning readers

    Finger Pointing
    -Point each word as it is spoken
    -Focus on individual letters, sounds, and words when finger pointing

    Techniques to develop COW
    Dictation
    -Best way to help children make a connection between speech and print is to record what they say and then read it back to them
    -Pictures with captions are really helpful

    Rhymes for reading
    -It is good to memorize songs and jingles by heart because it develops COW and matches speech to print

    Assessing growth in COW
    -Ask children to point to individual words in a familiar piece of text
    -Ask children to finger point to words

    Language Experience Approach (LEA)
    -Based on the concept that what you say can be written and what you write can be read
    -Steps:
    .Teacher plans a hands-on experience and they discuss it orally with students
    .Students dictate an account of an experience while a teacher records it
    .Students re-read the account several times
    .Students get their own copy of the dictation and they illustrate it
