PRECISION IN EVERY ANSWER!
Alphabetic language - Answer: English; meaning symbols and letters reflect
pronunciation of a sound; ESL students' first lang may not be alphabetic because they
use symbols; phonological knowledge must be taught, so alphabet needs to be taught
Alphabetic Principle - Answer: an understanding that letters and letter patterns
represent the sounds of spoken words.
Analytic Phonics - Answer: In this approach, instruction begins with the identification of
a familiar word. The teacher then introduces a particular sound/spelling relationship
within that familiar word
Synthetic Phonics - Answer: In this systematic and explicit approach, students learn to
transform letters and letter combinations into sounds and then the sounds together to
form recognizable words. Teach individual parts and build to whole
Auditory discrimination - Answer: The ability to hear differences in sounds
Auditory span - Answer: the number of words, numbers, or sounds a student can hold
in his working memory. Can limit dictation or note taking.
Blend - Answer: two or more sounds that are frequently grouped together- each sound

an unexpected sound (vr's, qu, wh)
Comorbid - Answer: two or more disorders in the same individual
Consonant - Answer: sounds that are blocked or partially blocked by the tongue teeth
and lips
Decoding - Answer: using the sound/symbol system and structural analysis to unlock
unfamiliar words (synthetic)
Derivative - Answer: adding a prefix or a suffix to a base word
Diacritical markings - Answer: a mark indicating pronunciation
Dieresis - Answer: two dots over an a (a)
Diphthong - Answer: The sound produced by combining two vowels in to a single
