ANSWERS 2025/2026 GRADED A+
Emergent Readers -> Decoders/Phonics -> - Fluency -> Reading Comprehension
Go back to fluency - If you're bad at reading comprehension....
Go back to decoders/phonics - If you're bad at fluency...
DON'T go back to emergent readers. Instead go to onset and rime!! - If you're bad at
decoders/phonics...
- print awareness
- book handling skills
- Print directionality
- organization of book
- Print rich environment
- Pretend reads
~ Alphabetic Principle
~ Print to text connection
~ phonemic awareness - Emergent Readers
Emergent reading - A child pretend reads and is starting to work on print directionality
and understands how to handle a book. All of these are skills of what?
print awareness - What skills are they working on when students become aware of
symbols (letters)?
When a child is aware of the SOUND ONLY - What is phonemic awareness?
when students put together the sound of letters w/ the actual letter - What is alphabetic
principle?
when your reading matches written words and shows meaning - Print to text connection
print to text connection - A teacher points to each word w/ finger while reading. What is
she practicing with the students?
- onset/rime
- Graphemes
- Phonemes
- phonological awareness
- word segmentation
- nonsense words
- Blends
, - Dipthongs - Decoders/Phonics
beginning sounds vs. ending sounds - Onset vs. Rime
written letters, ex: "B" or "Ph" - Graphemes
sounds that coordinate with those letters, ex: "Bah", or "fa" - Phonemes
Everything!! - Phonological Awareness
breaking a sentence apart - Word segmentation
2 constants together, ex: "Frog" - Blends
2 vowels together, ex: "Boil" - Dipthongs
use nonsense words - How do you assess phonic skills?
Says tiger: "ti-ger, tiger" - Which questions would a teacher use to work on phonological
awareness?
to teach word segmentation - Teacher has the class clap to every word in a poem.
Why?
onset and rime - A child is able to identify to read rhyming words, but has trouble with
phonics. What should teacher practice with him?
When a child is good at sight words and phonics, but working towards fluency - When
should you use decodable books (BOB books)?
to build fluency - Why give kids sight words and study them?
grade word lists - What is an appropriate initial assessment of word recognition?
When you can connect the text with something else or another subject in the classroom
- What is a connected text?
builds fluency - Why are connected texts important?
- accuracy/speed and rate
- words per min
- repeated readings of same text
- reading inventory, miscue analysis/running record
- prosody
~test fluency using unknown passage - Fluency Skills
