Awareness of rhymes
Awareness that sentences can be broken down into words, syllables, and sounds
Ability to talk about, reflect upon, and manipulate sounds
Understanding the relationship between written and spoken language
Rhyming, segmenting sentences into words, blending syllables into words,
delete/substitute syllables/sounds from words

single unit of sound
Vowel-consonant patterns CORRECT ANSWERS In a cvc pattern, the vowel is often a
short vowel sound. In a CVCe word, the vowel is followed by a consonant and then the
letter e. The e is usually silent and the vowel before the e is usually long. In a CVVC
word, two vowels appear between two consonants.
reading comprehension:
A. Literal
B. Inferential
C. Evaluative CORRECT ANSWERS Literal - Readers identify and/or recall relevant
information explicitly stated in the reading selection by
- identifying the order of events or a specific event from a sequence of events.
-identifying details such as key words, phrases or sentences that explicitly state
important characteristics, circumstances, or similarities and differences in characters,
times or places.
Inferential - Readers use information explicitly stated in the passage to determine what
is not stated. Readers derive meaning by
-identifying implicit relationships (relationships not directly stated) such as cause and
effect, sequence-time relationships, comparisons, classifications and generalizations.
-predicting probable future outcomes or actions.
, Evaluative - In evaluative comprehension readers analyze and make judgments about
what they read. At this level, readers use evidence from the text to reach conclusions
and make generalizations about the text and its wider implications by
-drawing conclusions about the characteristics, values, and habits of human beings.
-drawing conclusions about the author's motivation or purpose for writing a passage or
story based on evidence in the selection.
Spelling Development: PRECOMMUNICATIVE SPELLING CORRECT ANSWERS
"babbling" stage of spelling. Children use letters for writing words but the letters are
strung together randomly. The letters in precommunicative spelling do not correspond to
sounds. Examples: OPSPS = eagle; RTAT = eighty.
SEMIPHONETIC SPELLERS CORRECT ANSWERS know that letters represent
sounds.They perceive and represent reliable sounds with letters in a type of telegraphic
writing. Spellings are often abbreviated representing initial and / or final sound.
Examples: E = eagle; a = eighty.
PHONETIC SPELLERS CORRECT ANSWERS spell words like they sound.The speller
perceives and represents all of the phonemes in a word, though spellings may be
unconventional. Examples: EGL = eagle; ATE = eighty.
TRANSITIONAL SPELLERS CORRECT ANSWERS think about how words appearr
visually;a visual memory of spelling patterns is apparent. Spellings exhibit conventions
of English orthography like vowels in every syllable, e-marker and vowel digraph
patterns, correctly spelled inflectional endings, and frequent English letter sequences.
Examples: EGIL = eagle; EIGHTEE = eighty.
CONVENTIONAL SPELLERS CORRECT ANSWERS develop over years of word study
and writing. Correct spelling can be categorized by instruction levels. For example,
correct spelling for a corpus. . . words that can be spelled by the average fourth grader
would be fourth grade level correct spelling. Place the word in this category if it is listed
correctly.
Expository essay CORRECT ANSWERS genre of essay that requires the student to
investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth an argument
concerning that idea in a clear and concise manner.
present a fair and balanced analysis of a subject based on facts—with no references to
the writer's opinions or emotions.
phonological awareness CORRECT ANSWERS Phonological awareness is the
understanding that speech can be broken into smaller units of sound such as words,
syllables, onsets and rimes, and phonemes.
What is the difference between phonemic awareness and phonics? CORRECT
ANSWERS Phonics involves the relationship between sounds and written symbols,
