Foundations of Reading CT (2022/2023) 100% Verified 1st level of Phonemic awareness ✔✔Hearing rhymes and alliteration. 2nd level of Phonemic Awareness ✔✔Compare and contrast sounds of words from rhyme and alliteration. 3rd level of Phonemic Awareness ✔✔Ability to blend and split syllables. Automaticity ✔✔fluent processing of information that requires little effort or attention, as signword recognition. Background Knowledge ✔✔The knoweldge and understandings of the world that sutdents have acquired through their everyday experiences. Choral Reading ✔✔Two or more individuals reading aloud from the same text - helps with oral reading fluency Closed Syllable ✔✔Syllable which ends in one of more consonants. Consonant Blend ✔✔In a syllable, a sequence of two or more distinguishable consonant sounds before or after a vowel sound. (Examples: cl, bl, st, or, tr) Consonant Digraph ✔✔Two consonants that represent one speech sound. (Examples: ch, sh, th) Constructing Meaning ✔✔A process of making sense of text, by connecting one's own knowledge with the print readers "build" an understanding of what the text is about. Context Cues ✔✔Information from the surrounding text that helps identify or gives meaning ot a specific word or phrase, ex. "yesterday I read the book." The words surrounding "read" helps us know how to pronounce it. Conventions of Print ✔✔The understandings an individual has about the rules or accepted practices that govern the use of print, and the use of written language. Ex. reading left to right, top to bottom, words are made of letters, use of spaces between words, upper case letters, spelling patterns, etc. Conventional Spelling ✔✔Spelling that is in the standard or correct form for written documents. Cueing System ✔✔Any of the various sources of information that may aid identification of a word such as: graphophonics, semantic and syntactic information. Cultural Load ✔✔Relationship between language and culture. Can help or hinder learning. Cumulative/Pattern Story ✔✔A story that has many elements or language patterns repeated until the climax, a predictable text. CvCe ✔✔Vowels are long or say their name. (Examples, late, gate, side) Decoding ✔✔Analyzing text in order to identify and undertand individual words. Figuring out the written code. Diphthong ✔✔A vowel sound produced when the tongue moves or glides from one vowel sound toward another vowel or semivowel sound in the same syllable. Examples: coin, house) Echo Reading ✔✔Reading of a text where an adult or experienced reader reads a line of text, and the student repeats the line. Good technique for Emergent and Early Readers to build fluency and expression. Emergent Reader ✔✔A reader who is developing an association of print with meaning. The early stages of learning ot read. Fluency ✔✔The clear, easy, written or spoken expression of ideas. Can be described as having two parts, automaticity and accuracy. Grammar Conventions ✔✔The rules, or accepted practices, that govern the use of grammar in written or spoken language. Grapheme ✔✔A letter Graphophonics (Phonics) ✔✔Referring to the relationship between the letters and the letter sounds of a language. Guided Reading ✔✔A method by which an experienced reader provides structure and purpose, and models strategies in order to move beginning readers towards independence. Homophone ✔✔Words that are spelled differently but pronounced the same. Inference ✔✔Drawing meaning from a combination of clues in the text without explicit reference to the text. "The sky was dark and cloudy so I took my umbrella." We can infer that it might rain even though the text does not say that. Informal Reading Inventory ✔✔Tests grade-level passages from which students real aloud. Grade level is determined in a variety of ways including: frequency, complexity, number of syllables, decoding) Invented Speling ✔✔An attempt by beginning writers to spell a word when the standard spelling is unknown, using whatever knowledge of sounds or visual patterns the writer has. Inversions ✔✔Reversal or "flipping" of letters either horizontally or vertically, ex. p-d, or d-b, m-w, u-n. Not unusual for Emergent writers or readers. KWL Chart ✔✔(Know, Want to know, Learned). A Pre-reading or during reading activity to support understanding in which adult and child develop a chart organized in these 3 columns. Language Experience Approach ✔✔A method of teaching reading by using the reader's own dictated language. Language Structure ✔✔The organization of words (both spoken and written) into meaningful segments (phrases or sentences) using conventions of grammar and syntax. Letter Recognition ✔✔The identification of individual letters by name and/or sound in a variety of contexts Letter/Sound Association ✔✔Making a connection between individual letters and the sounds they represent (graphophonics). Linguistic Approach ✔✔A reading approach based on highly regular spelling patterns. Such as: Nat the cat sat on the mat. Miscue ✔✔Any substitution of a word in a text that a reader makes. Miscue Analysis ✔✔An examination of reading errors or substitutions (miscues) as the basis for determining the strengths and weaknesses of students' reading skills. Modeled Reading ✔✔An experienced readers' oral reading of a text to aid students in learning strategies, understanding intonation an dexpression, and hte use of punctuation, among other aspects of reading. Morpheme ✔✔A meaningful linguistic unit that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful elements. An important part of structural analysis. (Example: cat, three sounds, one meaningful unit, thus one morpheme. cats, two morphemes, (s) counts as a meaningful element) Onset ✔✔The consonant preceding the vowel of a syllable. Open Syllable ✔✔Syllable which ends in a vowel sound rather than a consonant. Phonemic Awareness ✔✔Awareness of the sound system of spoken language including individual sounds, rhyming, components of words, etc. Phonics ✔✔The letter/sound relationships in language, and also the relationship of spelling patterns to sound patterns. Phonics Approach ✔✔Teaching reading and spelling in a way tha tstresses the connection between letters and the sounds they represent, teaches the dissection of words into parts and blending the sounds together again. Phonics can be taught directly or can be incorporated in ongoing reading and writing. Picture Cues ✔✔Use of images that accompany and reflect the content of a text to help readers figure out words and understand the meaning of text. Picture Walk ✔✔A pre-reading strategy: an examination of the text looking at pictures to gain an understanding of hte story and to illicit story related language in advance. Prereading Strategies ✔✔Activities that take place just before reading, like reviewing a book cover or looking at the pictures, predicting, and formulating questions; these strategies provide students with valuable information about the text and prepare them for reading. R Controlled Vowels ✔✔Vowels that change their sound when followed by the letter R (Examples: car, her, sir, for, fur) Reversals ✔✔The result of reversing the order of letters in a word (tap/pat) or confusing similar letters such as d-b, or writing letters backwards. Not uncommon with Emergent readers and writers. Rime ✔✔A vowel and any following consonants of a syllable. Schwa ✔✔The midcentral vowel in an unaccented or unstressed syllable. (Examples, pizza, martha, tion) Self Monitoring ✔✔Paying attention to one's own reading process while reading, and taking steps to reread or make corrections as needed to make sense of the text. Semantics ✔✔The study of the meaning in language, the analysis of the meanings of words, phrases, sentences. Shared Reading ✔✔When children are involved in reading a text with an adult in such a way that the adult models strategies and concepts such as predicting and noticing letter patterns. Helpful with very early readers in developing concepts about print such as "word" and directionality. Sight Word ✔✔A word that is immediately recognized as a whole and does not require word analysis for identification. Sounding Out ✔✔Using phonics to figure out words.
