Phoneme Correct Answer: A phoneme is the smallest part of spoken language
that makes a difference in the meaning of words. English has 41 phonemes. A few
words, such as a or oh have only one phoneme. Most words however, have more
than one phoneme: the word IF has 2 phonemes (/i/ /f/); check has 3 phonemes
(/ch/ /e/ /k/). Some times one phoneme is represented by more than one letter.
Grahpeme Correct Answer: A graphemes is the smallest part of written language
that represents a phoneme in the spelling if a word. A grapheme may be just one
letter, such as b, d, f, p, s; or several letters such as ch, sh, th, -ck, ea, -igh.
Phonics Correct Answer: The understanding that there is a predictable
relationship between phonemes (sounds of spoken language) and graphemes (the
letters & spellings that represent those sounds in written language).
Phonemic Awareness Correct Answer: The ability to hear, identify, and
manipulate individual sounds- phonemes- in spoken words. This is purely auditory
skill and does NOT involve a connection to the written form of language.
Phonological Awareness Correct Answer: A broad term that includes phonemic
awareness. In addition to phonemes, phonological awareness activities can
involve work with rhymes, words, syllables and insets and rhymes.
Syllable Correct Answer: A word part that contains a vowel, or,in spoken
language, a vowel sound.
Onset and Rhyme Correct Answer: Parts of spoken language that are smaller than
syllables but larger than phonemes. An onset is the initial consent sound of a
syllable; a rhyme is the part of a syllable that contains the vowel and all that
follows it. STOP (st= onset; op=rhyme).
, Phoneme Isolation Correct Answer: Children recognize individual sounds in a
word. i.e. the first sound in VAN is /v/.
Phoneme Identity Correct Answer: Children recognize the same sounds in
different words. i.e. /f/ is the same sound in FIX, FALL, & FUN
Phoneme Categorization Correct Answer: Children recognize the word in a set of
3 or 4 words that has the "odd" sound. i.e. which doesn't belong: BUS, RUG, BUN;
rug-doesn't begin with /b/
Phoneme Blending Correct Answer: Children listen to a sequence of separately
spoken phonemes, & then combine the phonemes to form a word. Then they
write and read the word. i.e. What word is /b/ /i/ /g/-big.
Phoneme Segmentation Correct Answer: Children break a word into its seperate
sounds, saying each sound as they tap out or count it. Then they write and read
the word. i.e. how many sounds are in grab? 4- /g/ /r/ /a/ /b/
Phoneme Deletion Correct Answer: Children recognize the word that remains
when a phoneme is removed from another word. i.e. what is SMILE without the
/s/? -MILE
Phoneme Addition Correct Answer: Children make a new word by adding a
phoneme to an existing word. i.e. what word do you get if you add /s/ to the
beginning of PARK? -SPARK
Phoneme Substitution Correct Answer: Children substitute one phoneme for
another to make a new word. i.e. the word is BUG change /g/ to /n/ to get BUN.
Phoneme Manipulation Correct Answer: When children work with phonemes in
words, they are manipulating the phonemes. Types of phoneme manipulation
include blending phonemes to make words, segmenting words into phonemes,
deleting phonemes from words, adding phonemes to words, or substituting one
phoneme for another to make a new word.
Blending Correct Answer: Combining individual phonemes to form words or
combining onsets and rimes to make syllables, then combining syllables to make
words.
