The ability to hear, identify,and manipulate the individual sounds, phonemes, in oral language. Phonemic Awareness helps students learn how to read and spell -rhyming, syllables, beginning middle and end, blending - Answer-Phonemic Awareness COUNTS AS TWO SOUNDS!combining individual phonemes to form words or combining onsets and rimes to make syllables, then combining syllables to make words. ex: fr (syllable), m/o/m (word) - Answer-Blending COUNTS AS ONE SOUND! two letters that make one sound ex: SH - Answer-Digraph All students still have the same learning goal, just with adjustments for certain students or groups of students! - Answer-Differentiation syllable that ends with a vowel - Answer-open syllable syllable ends in one or more consonants - Answer-close syllable -syllabicating a word after the first vowel (V-CV) creates an open syllable--> usually has a long vowel sound -syllabicatinga. word after the first constonant (VC-V) creates a closed syllable--> usually has a short vowel sound - Answer-VCV syllable pattern -a pair of letters that smoothly and subtly change from sound to another when pronounced -the sound /ow/ in now, loud, shout is spelled with the dipthongs ou or ow -"long" sounds - Answer-dipthong -repeated reading helps aid in this--> students re read a text multiple times until they can read it accurately-by choosing texts that include high frequency words, you provide students with enough practice so that they can develop automaticity of these words and not focus on decoding them - Answer-automaticity ability to apply your knowledge of letter-sound relationships, including knowledge of letter patterns, to correctly pronounce written words. Understanding these relationships gives children the ability to recognize familiar words quickly and to figure out words they haven't seen before. - Answer-decoding A vowel team syllable has two vowels next to each other that combine to form a new sound. For example: the "ou" in south; the "au" in taught; and the "oa" in boat. ex: tr(ai)ner - Answer-vowel team syllable syllable is spelled with one vowel, one constonant, and one silent e ex: comp(ete) - Answer-VC-e Syllable -a skilled reader reads a short sentence or phrase while students echo back the same sentence or phrase as they follow along in the text -designed to help students develop expressive, fluent reading and text comprehension - Answer-echo reading -used to assess performance of students, checking for improvements made over a period of time -results help teacher gauge effectiveness of instruction/intervention and make adjustments if needed - Answer-progress monitoring a form of pre-assessment that allows a teacher to determine students' individual strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills prior to instruction. It is primarily used to diagnose student difficulties and to guide lesson and curriculum planning - Answer-diagnostic asssessment Screening is conducted to identify or predict students who may be at risk for poor learning outcomes. Universal screening assessments are typically brief and conducted with all students from a grade level. They are followed by additional testing or short-term progress monitoring to corroborate students' risk status - Answer-screening assessment -awareness and and interest in words-students begin to appreciate different texts more because of word choice and begin to use more words in their own speech/writing - Answer-word conciousness using knowledge of individual word parts to determine the meaning of an unknown word - Answerstructural analysis the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. - Answer-satire A contrast between expectation and reality - Answer-irony exaggeration - Answer-hyperbole -ability to visualize , analyze, and interpret the location, scale, and position of objects in relation to one another -fundamental skill for competency in geography - Answer-spatial thinking Sentence structure - Answer-syntax -refers to a global awareness of the sound structures of speech and the ability to manipulate those structures -encompasses both basic levels of awareness of speech sounds, such as rhyming, alliteration, the number of words in a sentence, and the syllables within words, as well as more advanced levels of awareness such as onset-rime awareness and full phonemic awareness. - Answer-phonological awareness -method for teaching the reading and writing of an alphabetic language -done by demonstrating the relationship between the sounds of the spoken language, and the letters, groups of letters, or syllables of the written language -printed letters and words, sight words, patterns, building fluency - Answer-phonics The study of the characteristics of human speech sound - Answer-phoneticsstudy of words and parts of words - Answer-morphology a minimal unit of meaning or grammatical function Ex: RENEWED→ consists of 3 elements: re, form, ed Kind of remind me of syllables - Answer-morpheme the study of the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences - Answer-semantics The onset is the initial consonant or consonant cluster of the word, and the rime is the vowel and consonants that follow it. For example, in the word bat, b- is the onset, and -at is the rime. In swim, swis the onset, and -im is the rime. - Answer-onset and rime -reading at an appropriate speed with accuracy and expression -when active reading clicks -reading naturally --> speed, accuracy, prosody (the patterns of stress and intonation in a language.) - Answer-fluency printed letters and spelling that represent sounds written - Answer-graphemes
