Adolf Kussmaul, Neurologist - ANS-"...a complete text-blindness may exist, although the power
of sight, the intellect and the power of speech are intact". He coined the term "word-blindness".
Allophone - ANS-Aspirated vs Non-Aspirated.
Slight variation in the way different people produce individual phonemes that can be affected by
the initial, middle, or final position of a word, or what sounds precede or follow an individual
phoneme.
Although English is considered an opaque language, what percent of English is considered
reliable? (See EBLL binder for ASAPE)? - ANS-English is about 87% reliable
Anglo-Saxon
20%-25% of English words - ANS-Short common every day, often 1-syllable words that are
familiar words, words used in ordinary life and often found in school primer books. Compound
Words! Many have non-phonetic spellings such as blood, cry, laugh, mother, run, wash
-Closed: mad
-Open: go
-VCe: lame
-vowel team: boat
-Consonant -le: tumble
-R-controlled: barn
-Consonant pairs: gn, kn, wr
-final stable syllables ble, zle, kle
ASAPE-Identifiers to determine reading/spelling situations - ANS-The key to unlocking the
reading code:
A-Adjacent Letters-a letter may make a specific sound next to another letter (a makes /o/ after
w= watch)
S-Syllables-a vowel may make a specific sound in a specific syllable (closed syllable short
sound, open syllable long sound)
A-Accent-a vowel sound may change when it is not accented ("ar" sound in "car" vs. when ar is
unaccented, it is pronounced /er/ as in "dollar")
P-Position-a letter may make a specific sound in I,M,F position (a as /uh/ in final: "soda", x in
initial position sounds /x/, and e in final is silent
E-Etymology-may reveal origins behind a seemingly irregular word. K and G are used to
pronounced "knight" and "gnat", number "two" comes from Old Eng "twa" (tway)
Auditory Memory - ANS-... the ability to listen and remember sounds, words, and sentences in
sequence.
Automaticity - ANS-Ability to react or respond without much effort. Automaticity in word
recognition permits full energy to be focused on comprehension.
