spoken words. Also known as graphophenemic awareness.
⩥Anchor Book. Answer: A balanced literacy term for a book that is

children's writing.

⩥Balanced Literacy Lesson Format. Answer: A format for the delivery
of a literacy lesson, whether it is a reading or writing-workshop lesson.

minute small-group lesson (the children break into small groups to
work). It concludes with a 10-minute share session during which the
whole class reconvenes to share what they have done in the small
groups. This format is often referred to as the whole-small-whole group
approach.
⩥Behaviorism. Answer: Learning is the acquisition of new behavior
through conditioning. Three basic assumptions are held to be true. First,
learning is manifested by a change in behavior. Second, the environment
shapes behavior. And third, the principles of contiguity (how close in
, time two events must be for a bond to be formed) and reinforcement
(any means of increasing the likelihood that an event will be repeated)
are central to explaining the learning process.
⩥Benchmarks. Answer: School, state, or nationally-mandated statements
of expectations for student learning and achievement in various content
areas.
⩥BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (An ELL/Bilingual
Education term). Answer: Learning second-language skills and
becoming proficient in a second language through face to face
interaction-translation through speaking, listening, and viewing.
⩥Big Books. Answer: Best way to model directionality and one to one
word matching in primary grades.
⩥Blending. Answer: The process of hearing separate phonemes and
being able to merge them together to read the word.
⩥Book Features. Answer: Children need to be familiar with the
following: front and back cover; title and half-title page; dedication
page; table of contents; prologue and epilogue; and foreword and after
notes. For factual books, children need to be familiar with labels,
captions, glossary, index, headings and subheadings of chapters, charts
and diagrams, and sidebars.
