alliteration - ANSWER-the repetition of the initial sound in two

llamas"
allophones - ANSWER-slight variations in production of vowels or
consonants that

fast and tank)
alphabetic principle - ANSWER-the concept, understood by
readers, that the
letters on the page represent or map onto the sounds in
spoken words
comprehension is - ANSWER-the main goal of reading
,instant word recognition - ANSWER-the goal of decoding, ability
to recognize words quickly and accurately, achieved by repeated
exposures, or over learning language
Multisensory Structured Language is - ANSWER-simultaneous,
Multisensory, systematic, cumulative, taught through direct
instruction, diagnostic teaching, and employs both synthetic and
analytic instruction
synthetic instruction - ANSWER-how parts of the language work
together to form a
whole, (reading) ... examples with knowledge of these four
sound-symbol
correspondences (i) (t) (p) (n), students can read the words it,
in, pit, tip nip, tin,
pin... think part to
whole
analytic instruction - ANSWER-the whole is broken down into

synthetic phonics - ANSWER-teaching individual sound symbol
correspondences, putting sounds together to form words, ex. Mr.
,Smart gave his students syllables and asked them to construct

analytic phonics - ANSWER-separating the whole into its
constituent parts,
spelling and word

comparative form
derivational morpheme (endings) - ANSWER-changes a word
from one part of
, speech to
another
formative assessment - ANSWER-a wide range of formal and
informal tests and assessment procedures, used to modify
instruction, examples include universal screenings; progress
monitoring, observation, portfolios... mastery checks
summative assessment - ANSWER-summarize learning at
specific time intervals,
such as SAT, STAAR, end of year exams, end of
unit exams
screenings - ANSWER-brief assessments given to whole classes,
identifies students who are "at risk", examples include DIBELS,
Texas Primary Reading
Inventory (TPRI), Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA)
progress monitoring - ANSWER-scientifically based practice,
assesses progress,
evaluates effectiveness of instruction, can be done individually,
in small group, or
as whole class, frequency determines intensity
of monitoring
