free morpheme - ✔️✔️a morpheme that can stand on its own
literal item - ✔️✔️information that refers directly back to the content of the reading
material where the answer is defined word for word
semicolon - ✔️✔️punctuation used to join two closely related sentences that could each
stand on their own
monitor hypothesis - ✔️✔️knowledge that is gained through formal learning that can be
used to monitor speech but is not useful in spontaneous speech

measure; a test is not considered valid if it is not reliable
scaffold - ✔️✔️the support that allows a child to work above their independent level and is
