36. Design Flaw And Design Bias: Early Literacy And Reading Early reading Programs From Design Flaw to Design Bias in the Classroom. For example, a common design flaw is found in preliteracy activities http://www.alliance2k.org/daklang/MethodReading.html

Early Reading Programs: From Design Flaw to Design Bias in the Classroom. Some Points to Consider We know young children come to school with different levels of pre-literacy awareness. But why do they leave school with such different levels of literacy awareness? Design Flaws in school-based early reading programs A design flaw occurs when an awareness that is later in the learning hierarchy is required to learn a skill that is earlier in the hierarchy. For example, a common design flaw is found in pre-literacy activities where sound-letter correspondencea later skillis used to develop the importantbut priorphonological awareness skills. Design Bias in School Classrooms The design flaw in early reading programs becomes design bias in actual practice. This happens because students who enter school with high levels of preliteracy awareness, e.g., awareness of sound-letter correspondence, letter names, etc., are able to negotiate the flawed preliteracy activities. But students who enter school with lower levels of preliteracy awareness are not able to negotiate the design flawthe pre-literacy activities presuppose literacy awareness that they don't yet have. In effect most preschool, Head Start and
