Exmaples: mega-, -ology,
- phonology - -The study of the patterns and distributions of speech sounds
in a language and the tacit rules for their pronunciation
- morphology - -the study of words and how they're combined. It analyzes
the structure of words and parts of words such as stems, root words, prefixes
and suffixes
- semantics - -The branch of linguistics that studies the meaning of words,
their historical and psychological development, their connotations, and their

sentences in a language.
- pragmatic - -dealing with things sensibly and realistically in practical way
rather than ideally. Ex. social etiquette

- phonemic awareness - -The ability to differentiate and manipulate sounds
in a language; awareness of individual sounds in words
- phonological awareness - -umbrella term referring to how language can be
divided into distinct components:
Example: we speak in sentences, sentences can be broken down into words,
words into syllables, and then onset-rime
- Recoding - -Using systematic relationships between letters and phonemes
(letter-sound correspondence) to retrieve the pronunciation of an unknown
printed string or to spell words
- Alphabetic Principle - -letters have sounds and those sounds create words
that have meaning
, - Diagraph - -a combination of two letters to represent a single sound (ex.
'ph' in phone)
- diphthong - -The sound produced by combining two vowels into a single
syllable or running together the sounds ('oo' in moon)

is silent - -vowel silent e (ex. game, lace)
- ______ ______ is a syllable that ends in a consonant - -closed syllable
- A syllable where the vowel is followed by the single letter 'r'. The vowel
sound is controlled by the 'r' - -r controlled syllable (ex. 'forge', turn')
- vowel team - -two vowels that make one vowel sound (ex. toe, tray)
- A group of consonants that does not have any vowel(s) between them - -
consonant cluster
- Metacognition - -the ability to reflect on and monitor reading
- In general the best strategy for helping beginning readers to identify

topic. It is typically found in magazines, science or history books - -
informational text
