LETRS UNIT 3 ASSESSMENT TEST REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS BRAND NEW / HIGHLY COMPREHENSIVE AND EXTREMELY ORGANISED WITH EXAMPLES Decoding --ANSWER- The ability to translate a word from print to speech, usually by employing knowledge of sound symbol correspondences; also the act of deciphering a new word by sounding it out. Graphemes --ANSWER- A letter or letter combination that spells a phoneme; can be one, two, three, or four letters in English (e.g., e, ei, igh, eigh). Scarborough's Reading Ropes identify 3 major strands or sub skills that contribute to printed word recognition. What are they? --ANSWERPhonological awareness, decoding, and word recognition Orthography --ANSWER- A writing system for representing language. True --ANSWER- To know what the word actually says, the reader must look closely at all the letter sounds and recode them into sound and sense What is word study? --ANSWER- The point of learning to decode by Phil's and to recognize orthographic patterns What is the goal of word study? --ANSWER- To develop automatic recognition of words we've seen before and recall word spellings for writing. Example: word specific knowledge like bare and bear and your, you're. irregular words --ANSWER- A word whose spelling or pronunciation does not conform to the system of sound-symbol correspondences or syllable patterns Explain the 4 part processing model --ANSWER- Context to meaning, meant to phonological and orthographic When students' abilities to read real words are tested with lists, using a timer, the ___________________________strand of the Reading Rope is being assessed --ANSWER- Sight recognition True or false: the letter x is the only letter that stands for two phonemes, /k/ and so/ and occasionally /g/ and /z/. --ANSWER- True What is a blend? --ANSWER- A blend is not one sound but 2 or 3 adjacent consonants before before or after a vowel in a syllable. Example: c-l (clean), s-t (most), th-r(thrush) Name Ehri's Phases --ANSWER- Prealphabetic, early alphabetic, later alphabetic, and consolidated alphabetic Pre-alphabetic --ANSWER- Knows some, but not all, alphabet letter names and forms; does not know the sound they represent Early alphabetic --ANSWER- Tries to sound out words by associating a sound with the first letter and perhaps another letter or two Later alphabetic --ANSWER- Can spell words phonetically, including all the speech sounds, but is not accurate Consolidated alphabetic --ANSWER- Generalizes phonics skills to unknown words, then uses context as a backup to recognize words. What is the purpose of a word chain --ANSWER- To give students practice recognizing subtle differences between and among similar sounding words example: shin, thin, thimble, shim, sham, mam, mash, math. (Tell students when a "word is a nonsense word) What are the types of word sorts? --ANSWER- Open and closed What is the difference in open and closed sorts? --ANSWER- In a closed sort, the teacher tells the students how to sort the words and provides the names of the categories. Open sorts are open-ended and therefore more difficult then closed sorts. What is the purpose of decodable text? --ANSWER- Decodable text serves the specific purpose or providing ample practice using and reading words with the phonic elements that have been taught decodable text --ANSWER- Beginner-oriented books that contain the same letters or word patterns currently being studied, or those previously taught. High frequency words --ANSWER- Words that occur most often in English writing. Teachers who take a code-emphasis approach to instruction generally do not discuss the meanings of words being taught. --ANSWER- False The ability to decode a new, previously unknown printed word, in or out of context, depends on --ANSWER- knowledge of phoneme-grapheme correspondences and the ability to blend phonemes and graphemes quickly. The term phonics may be used to refer to --ANSWER- the system of phonemegrapheme correspondences that are the basis for an alphabetic orthography, an essential component of effective reading instruction and a strategy for decoding new words and storing them in orthographic
