Exam 100% Accurate!!
Accent - ANSWERSstress or emphasis on one syllable in a word or part of a word;
sound is louder, longer, and higher.
Accuracy - ANSWERSAbility to decode single words correctly with freedom from error
or mistake.
Active Learning - ANSWERSLearning in which the learner mentally searches for
connections between new and already known information.
allophone - ANSWERSA variation of a speech sound (/t/ in top, stop, spits, swiftne
Alphabetic Principle - ANSWERSLetter/sound relationship. Relationship between letters
ordered left to right in written words and phonemes ordered in specific temporal
sequence in spoken words.
Analytic Instruction - ANSWERSInstruction that separates WHOLE into PARTS
Anglo-Saxon - ANSWERSLanguage of Germanic peoples (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) who
settled in Britain in 5th and 6th centuries AD
Angular Gyrus - ANSWERSAn area of the brain for visual-verbal associations.
Bench Mark Measures - ANSWERSProgress measurement administered at the end of
each schedule, when students have had enough practice.
Broca's Area - ANSWERSPosterior portion of the frontal lobe that is in charge of
phonological processing and semantics of language. This area in the front left of the
brain is responsible for Expressive language- articulating spoken words and analyzing
words.
Broca's Aphasia - ANSWERSAphasia associated with damage to Broca's area of the
brain, demonstrated by the impairment in producing understandable speech. Cannot get
the words out but understands.

initial letter of the root (in- changes to ir- before regular, irregular, responsible,
irresponsible) also an example of euphony
Closed Syllable - ANSWERSA syllable ending with one or more consonants. The vowel
is usually short.
, Cloze Technique - ANSWERSa procedure in which words are deleted from verbal
passages, and subjects are required to identify missing words. Fill in the blanks.
Coarticulation - ANSWERSthe articulation of two or more speech sounds together, so

Double-Deficit Hypothesis - ANSWERSDeficiency in both phoneme awareness and
naming speed
Dysarthia - ANSWERSneurological oral-motor dysfunction including weaknesses of the
musculature necessary for making the coordinated movements of speech production.
Dysnomia - ANSWERSdifficulty in word finding

Elision - ANSWERSThe omission of sound or syllable in a word in pronunciation -
deletion
Embedded Phonics - ANSWERSPA and phonics taught implicitly through reading real
words in text
Encoding - ANSWERSSpelling, unblending sounds to spell
Cortex - ANSWERSLeft Temporal Cortex, Left Frontal Cortex, Occipital Cortex
Left Temporal Cortex - ANSWERSarea of the brain for language comprehension
Left Frontal Cortex - ANSWERSarea of the brain for speech production
Occipitial Cortex - ANSWERSarea of the brain for visual processing
