LETRS Unit 1 - Session 1 Latest 2022
Graded A+
Phonics ✔✔relationship between letters and sounds. Code based instruction.
Phonemic Awareness ✔✔awareness of individual speech sounds (consonants and vowels) in
spoken syllables and the ability to consciously manipulate those sounds.
Alphabetic Writing is less than ___________ years old. ✔✔5,000
90% of all spoken languages have no ✔✔written form, let alone an alphabet that represents the
separate sounds of speech.
Syllable ✔✔the unit of pronunciation that is organized around a vowel; it may or may not have a
consonant after the vowel.
Egyptians invented the first alphabet in ✔✔2,000 BCE
Phoenician alphabet was developed in _________ and was the granfather of our alphabet 19 of 26
letters can be traced. ✔✔1,000 BCE
Modern American English spelling was settled in 1828 with ✔✔Webster's Dictionary
Orthograpy ✔✔a writing system for representing language
Morphonphonemic ✔✔alphabetic writing principle organized by both sound-symbol
correspondences and morphology.
Morpheme ✔✔the smallest meaningful unit of language; it may be a word or a part of word; it
may be a single sound, one syllable or multiple syllables
To read an alphabetic alphabet a person must ✔✔mentally link the alphabetic symbols with the
single speech sounds or phonemes that they represent.
All alphabets require ✔✔speech sound (phoneme) awareness by the reader.
Shallow or Transparent Alphabetic Orthography ✔✔correspondences in the alphabetic writing
system are regular and predictable. One sound represented by one symbol or letter.
Deep or Opague Alphabetic Orthography ✔✔the spelling system represens morphemes
(meaningful parts) as well as speech sounds. Morphophonemic contains both phonemes and
morphemes.
Advantages of Alphabetic Writing ✔✔permits any word to be read or written in a language with
a small set of symbols. A limited number of symbols can be combined to create the entire language,
even new words. Language can be written and read by anyone who can match the symbols to the
sounds they represent.
Disadvantages of Alphabetic Writing ✔✔People are wired to process speech sounds. The phoneme
-that sound that a letter represents - is not self evident, natural, or consciously accessible
understanding for humans.
Metalinguistic Awareness ✔✔the ability think about and reflect on the structure of language itself.
The invention of the alphabet was an achievement.
The Simple View of Reading ✔✔Word Recognition x Language Comprehension = Reading
Comprehension
Word Recognition ✔✔The accurate and fast retrieval of decoded word forms, is essential for the
development of reading comprehension.
Language comprehension ✔✔listening comprehension or the linguistic processes involved in the
comprehension of oral language.
Decoding ✔✔the ability to translate a word from print to speech, usually by employing knowledge
of sound-symbol correspondences.
