ANSWERS
◉ Analytic Phonics. Answer: separates the whole word into its
constituent parts so students can deduce the phonic relationships of

◉ arbitrary learning. Answer: new learning that has no logical
connection to already acquired knowledge or practical relationships
◉ bottom-up processing. Answer: accurate sequential reading of
every word. comprehension is text driven rather than concept
◉ concept-driven processing. Answer: reading uses own experience.
top down process.
◉ Diagnostic Teaching. Answer: use of formal and informal
assessment to measure progress expected by performance standars

involves the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile (VAKT)
modalities. The student looks at a word while saying and tracing it.
◉ Implicit Instruction. Answer: Implied, indirect teaching, no
specific guidance

◉ whole language approach. Answer: An approach to reading
instruction based on the idea that instruction should parallel
children's natural language learning. Reading materials should be
whole and meaningful.
◉ Allophone. Answer: slight and predictable variations in
production of vowels and consonants pop
