2. Learn to examine a set of words to determine which is not like the others, oddity
task)
3. Learn how to blend sounds to create words
4. Divide words into their phonemes (segmenting words) and count the number of

5. Learn how to manipulate the sounds in a word by
substituting or deleting one or many phonemes
Print Concept - CORRECT ANSWER-Understanding how text works to

alphabet
, Phonograms - CORRECT ANSWER-Often called word families, these end in
high frequency rimes that vary only in the beginning consonant sound to make a
word. For example, back, sack, black and track.
Onset - CORRECT ANSWER-the part of a syllable that comes before the vowel
(e.g., str in string)
Rime - CORRECT ANSWER-The vowel and the ending consonants after the
onset
Semantic Cues - CORRECT ANSWER-Use of knowledge about the subject of the
text and words associated with that subject to identify an unknown word within a
text: meaning cues from each sentence and the evolving whole.
Children use their prior knowledge, sense of the story, and pictures to support
their predicting and confirming the meaning of the text.
Syntactic Cues - CORRECT ANSWER-hints that rely on language structure or
rules (sometimes called grammatical cues) Grammatical information in a text that
readers process to construct meaning.
Content clues - CORRECT ANSWER-surrounding words that help you figure out
