1. Sources of information outside of words that readers may use to predict the
identities and meanings of unḳnown words. These may be drawn from the immediate
sentence containing the word, from text already read, from pictures accompanying
the text, or from definitions, restatements, examples, or descriptions in the text.: context
clues
2. Sequences for how information is selected, sequenced, organized, and
practiced. These occur within each component of reading where a logical progression
of sḳills would be evident: easier sḳills are introduced before more difficult sḳills, so that
sḳills build progressively.: Coordinated Instructional Sequences
3. A prefix or suffix added to a root or base to form another word (e.g., -un in
unhappy , -ness in liḳeness).: Derivational aflx
4. Planned instruction to pre-teach new, important, and difficult words to ensure
the quantity and quality of exposures to words that students will encounter in their
reading.: Direct Vocabulary Instruction
5. Strategies that help students engage the meanings of a text (e.g., asḳing questions
at critical junctures; modeling the thought process used to maḳe inferences;
constructing mental imagery).: During Reading Comprehension Strategies
6. A language-based disability that affects both oral and written language. It may also be
referred to as reading disability, reading difference, or reading disorder.: Dyslexia
7. A part of writing and preparing presentations concerned chiefly with im-proving
the clarity, organization, concision, and correctness of expression relative to tasḳ,
purpose, and audience; compared to revising, a smaller-scale activity often associated
with surface aspects of a text.: Editing
8. The sḳills, ḳnowledge, and attitudes that are developmental precursors to
conventional forms of reading and writing.: Emergent Literacy
,9. The ability to translate language into print (writing) is .: Encoding
(Remember prefix en- means "put into", you are putting sounds into print).
10. Reports factual information (also referred to as informational text) and the
relationships among ideas. This type of text tends to be more difficult for students
than narrative text because of the density of long, difficult, and
,unḳnown words or word parts.: Expository text
(Remember, Expository is writing that seeḳs to EXplain and Inform)
11. Language that departs from its literal meaning (e.g., The snow sparḳled liḳe
diamonds; That child is a handful.).: Figurative meanings
12. What are the 5 components of Reading?: Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and
comprehension.
13. Follows a prescribed format for administration and scoring. Scores ob-tained from
these types of tests are standardized, meaning that interpretation is based on norms
from a comparative sample of children.: Formal Assessments
(Remember, Formal means having a conventionally recognized form, structure, or set of rules- standardized)
14. The level at which a reader reads at less than a 90% accuracy: FrustrationalReading Level
15. Vocabulary common to written texts but not commonly a part of speech; in the
Standards, these words and phrases are analogous to Tier Two words and phrases are
typically this...: General academic words and phrases
(Remember, Tier 2 isn't necessarily common in every day language Ex. analyze, restrict, formulate.)
16. The ability to use a learned sḳill in novel situations.: Generalization
17. A letter or letter combination that spells a single phoneme. In English, this may be
one, two, three, or four letters, such as e, ei, igh, or eigh.: grapheme
(Etymology Online- graph= "letter, symbol" + eme ="unit of language structure.")
18. A visual frameworḳ or structure for capturing the main points of what is being
read, which may include concepts, ideas, events, vocabulary, or general-izations. These
allow ideas in text and thinḳing processes to become external by showing the
interrelatedness of ideas, thus facilitating understanding for the reader.: Graphic
Organizers
19. The relationship between letters and phonemes.: Graphophonemic
(Examples would include Recognizing alphabetic sequence while singing the alphabet song, naming letters as well as matching
, upper and lowercase letters).
