Literacy coaching model and implementation
Language acquisition with phonemic awareness correlates to learning to read, plus it is an accurate predictor of reading success. Through phonological and phonemic awareness activities, involving direct instruction, incidental occasions, and literature-based activities, a balanced literacy to phonics instruction can be achieved (Bowman & Treiman, 2004). It is important to include components, such as rhyming, segmenting, isolating, deleting, substituting, and blending.
Associationist learning theory: principles, contributions, and mental processes

In general terms, associationism remains not only one of the earliest theories of leaning but it also comes across as being one of the most enduring. Basically, associationism holds that association of ideas can be used to explain mental processes. In this text, I will mainly concern myself with associationism as a learning theory.
