Which instructional strategy promotes automatic recognition of orthographic patterns?

The strategy that promotes automatic recognition of orthographic patterns is practice with phoneme-grapheme mapping. This method involves connecting sounds (phonemes) to their corresponding letters or groups of letters (graphemes). By systematically practicing how these sounds correspond to written forms, students become more proficient in recognizing word patterns quickly and efficiently.

Phoneme-grapheme mapping not only helps in understanding how sounds are represented in writing but also encourages fluency in reading and writing. As students engage in this practice, they are more likely to solidify their understanding of orthographic patterns, making it easier for them to recognize words as whole units in context.

Other strategies, like implicit instruction during shared reading or using context clues, may support reading development but do not specifically focus on the orthographic pattern recognition needed for instant word recognition. Tactile-kinesthetic approaches may assist in learning new words but might not directly lead to the automaticity of recognizing orthographic patterns as effectively as phoneme-grapheme mapping does.
