Multi-Subject- Teachers of Early Childhood Part 1 2023 Exam

Multi-Subject- Teachers of Early Childhood Part 1 2023 Exam Alphabetic Principle - ANS-Is the concept that letters and letter combinations represent individual phonemes in written words. Alternated Reading - ANS-The student and a second reader, typically the teacher or another more proficient reader, take turns reading continuous sections of the text, without repeating any of the text. Blending - ANS-Refers to reading a word systematically from left to right by combining the sounds of each successive letter or combination of letters. Choral Reading - ANS-Students all read the same text aloud at a set pace. Chunking - ANS-Is a decoding strategy in which the reader adds letter sounds successively and cumulatively to produce a word. Consonant Blend - ANS-Is made up of two or more consecutive consonants that retain their individual sounds (e.g., /bl/ in block or /str/ in string). Continuous Sound - ANS-Also referred to as a continuant sound, is a sound that can be held without distortion (e.g., /f/, /l/, /m/, /n/, /r/, /s/, /v/, /z/).

Diagraph - ANS-Is a group of two consecutive letters that are read as a single sound (e.g., /ea/ in bread; /ch/ in chat; /ng/ in sing). Diphthong - ANS-Is a vowel produced by the tongue shifting position during articulation. The vowel feels as if it has two parts, as the sound begins with one vowel and gradually changes to another vowel within the same syllable (e.g., ow, oy, ou, oi). Echo Reading - ANS-A more proficient reader (usually the teacher) reads a section of the text aloud, and then the student reads that same section of text aloud. Elkonin Sound Boxes - ANS-Are tools used during phonemic-awareness and encoding instruction. One box is provided for each sound in a target word. Elkonin boxes are sometimes referred to as sound boxes. Continues...
