Emergent literacy - answerwhat children do to learn how to read and write, what a child
knows about reading and writing before learning, continues early and keeps going.
Authentic experiences exposes children to language and it is critical in his stage
Cues - answerreaders use these to construct meaning
Semantic cues - answer"meaning cues". Help readers understand what language
means (symbols, sounds, pictures, word phrases, etc)
Syntactic cues - answerThis helps readers understand structure. Structure cues that
help readers understand how words are organized into patterns.
Graphophonic Cues - answerLetter and sound cues that help readers identify individual
letters or patterns or clusters of letters such as root and whole words.
Conventions of print - answerprint cues that enable readers to follow print
Pragmatic cues - answerSocial and cultural functions of language for different purposes.
Different language based on who we are speaking to.
Strategies for applying cues - answerSampling; reading or listening
Predicting; making an educated guess
Confirming; using text into to confirm predictions
self-correcting; using text info to correct an initial prediction that was proven incorrect
Why is an assessment collected? - answerTo determine how well students are
progressing with respect to specific aspect of learning
to help students tale ownership of learning
to demonstrate the effectiveness of your job
Formative assessment - answerongoing and provides immediate feedback to improve
both teaching and learning. Authentic based on literacy activities children are engaged
in. Informs teachers and learners, identify skills that need review, monitor student
progress, guide teacher instruction, demonstrate effectiveness of instruction.
, What are some types of formative assessments? - answerTeacher observations,
anecdotal records, conferences and conference notes, checklists, running records and
retellings
summative assessment examples - answerend-of-book tests, end-of-unit tests,
standardized tests, district assessments
Combination of assessment tools - answerimprove fairness and effectiveness of
classroom literacy assessment, and develop a deep understanding of learners
Independent reading level - answeraccuracy rate is 95-100%. The students reading is
fluent and they can comprehend what they read.
instructional reading level - answerread and understand books at their instructional level
with support from teacher and use of instructional strategies, recognize most words and
reading won't always be fluent. Children comprehend what they read.
Observations - answerAbility to make patterns and relationships without judgement,
describe what can be seen.
CAP - answerConcepts of print
Onset - answerConsonant before the vowel
Rime - answerPatterns following onset, beginning with first vowel
Consonant digraph - answerWhen two consonants come together to make a brand new
sound (ch)
Running record - answerformative assessment used to determine appropriate level of
text difficulty and to record what the child does when reading continuous text. Contains
most helpful insights on strategies a child is using to reconstruct meaning and what
needs to be taught/learned next.
Miscues - answerDeviations from the text
Questions for semantic cues - answerdoes it make sense?
questions of syntactic cues - answerdoes it sound right? does child attempt sound right?
Cues for graphophonic cues - answerdoes it look right? Does the Childs attempt visually
resemble, in any way, the word in the text?
Approximations - answeran educated guess based on what the child knows
Graphemes - answerwritten/printed representation of sound
