Content Test 305 Literacy – Questions & Expert
Solutions
Phonemic Awareness Right Ans - The ability to hear, identify, and
manipulate the individual sounds, phonemes, in oral language. Includes
segmenting a spoken word into its component sounds and counting the
number of heard sounds. A blench counts as 2 sounds (fr), a digraph
constitutes as one sound (sh).
Dipthong Right Ans - 2 vowels in which the sound begins at the first vowel
and moves toward the sound of the second vowel (snout=ou/boy=oy)
Consonant Blend Right Ans - Two or more consecutive consonants which
retain their individual sounds (e.g., /bl/ in block; /str/ in string).
vowel team syllable Right Ans - A vowel team syllable has two vowels next
to each other that combine to form a new sound. For example: the "ou" in
south; the "au" in taught; and the "oa" in boat.
Word Consciousness Right Ans - an interest in words and their meanings.
Helps lead to an appreciation of authors' language silts as well as skillful use
of words in their own speech and writing
Close reading Right Ans - Looking deeply into a text to uncover its layers of
meaning
Structural Analysis Right Ans - the process of using familiar word parts
(base words, prefixes, and suffixes) to determine the meaning of unfamiliar
words.
Hyperbole Right Ans - exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be
taken literally.
Satire Right Ans - A work that targets human vices and follies or social
institutions and conventions for reform or ridicule.
Irony Right Ans - A contrast between expectation and reality
, Metaphor Right Ans - A comparison without using like or as
spacial thinking Right Ans - Thinking about the space on Earth's surface,
including where places are located and why they are there.
Differentiated Instruction Right Ans - Practice of individualizing
instructional methods, and possibly also individualizing specific content and
instructional goals, to align with each student's existing knowledge, skills, and
needs.
Semiphonetic Stage Right Ans - The child begins to understand letter-
sound correspondence--that sounds are assigned to letters. At this stage, the
child often employs rudimentary logic, using single letters, for example, to
represent words, sounds, and syllables (e.g., U for you).
phonetic stage Right Ans - The child starts using one letter per sound and
phonetically spells words that can be deciphered, such as "kom" for "come".
Transitional stage Right Ans - The student has moved beyond the phonetic
spelling stage and is familiar with more sophisticated orthographic rules and
conventions. (le, in trouble. ey, in they). They recognize that each syllable
should contain a vowel, although does not always add these letters accurately.
morphophonemic development Right Ans - when an individual attains the
ability to make sound modifications by joining certain morphemes, to use
vowel shifting, and to use stress and emphasis to distinguish phrases from
compound words
The writing stages in order... Right Ans - 1.) Precommunicative (gibberish)
2.) Semiphonetic ( I LK DG)
3.) Phonetic (I Lik Dagz)
4.) Transitional (I Liek Dogz)
5.) Conventional (I like dogs)
The development of "basic literacy skills" in English is dependent on...
Right Ans - A Students development of the alphabetic principal
phoneme Right Ans - in language, the smallest distinctive sound unit.
