ALTA - CALP Review Set #5
1. accuracy - ANS-the number of words a student can read correctly in a given period of
time
2. auditory processing - ANS-given normal hearing, the ability to understand spoken
language in a meaningful way
3. Chall's Six Stages of Reading - ANS-students proceed through predictable stages of
learning to read
4. Chall's stage 0 - ANS-Pre-reading - Oral Language development
5. Chall's stage 1 - ANS-Initial reading - letters represent sounds, sound-spelling
relationships
6. Chall's stage 2 - ANS-Confirmation and fluency - Decoding skills, fluency and additional
strategies
7. Chall's stage 3 - ANS-reading for learning the new - expand vocabularies build
background and world knowledge, develop strategic habits
8. Chall's stage 4 - ANS-multiple viewpoints - analyze text critically, understand multiple
point of view
9. Chall's stage 5 - ANS-Construction and Reconstruction - construct understanding based
on analysis and synthesis
10.cognition - ANS-ability to think reason and solve problems; skills are usually measured
by an individual test of IQ; requires ability to generalize from past experience and use
that knowledge to respond to new situations
11.comprehension - ANS-making sense of what we read, comprehension is dependent on
good word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, worldly knowledge and language ability
12.fluency - ANS-ability to translate print to speech with rapidly and automatically that
allows the reader to focus on meaning
13.funding - ANS-districts dyslexia program is considered part of the basic required
curriculum; state funds can only be used for items used to supplement the dyslexia
program
14.letter naming chart - ANS-screening test, elementary age only, asked to name the letter
of alphabet
15.oral language - ANS-ability to understand and express spoken language
16.orthography - ANS-writing system of a language; correct or standardized spelling
according to established usage
17.rate - ANS-the number of words which a reader can translate meaningfully in a given
period of time
18.receptive language - ANS-listening, remembering and understanding what someone
else says
19.semantics - ANS-aspect of language concerned with meaning; curriculum should include
comprehension of written language
