the meanings of words being taught. - False
The ability to decode a new, previously unknown printed word, in or out of context,
depends on - knowledge of phoneme-grapheme correspondences and the ability to
blend phonemes and graphemes quickly.
The term phonics may be used to refer to - the system of phoneme-grapheme
correspondences that are the basis for an alphabetic orthography, an essential
component of effective reading instruction and a strategy for decoding new words and
storing them in orthographic memory.
Which of the following are typical of meaning-emphasis approaches to instruction? -
emphasis on reading leveled texts individually and use of context (such as illustrations)
to read words in texts
Which of the following is typically done as an extended practice activity in phonics
lessons? - timed reading of learned words
Regularly spelled words - three, day, bird, goose, mouse, maybe, go, have
Irregularly spelled words - yacht, love, father, you
Why is the letter "x" referred to as an odd letter? - Letter "x" can represent two
phonemes.
Which word contains a consonant trigraph? - ditch (-tch)

What is the difference between a digraph and a blend? - Blends represent more than
one sound; digraphs represent one sound.
Which of the following sets includes ONLY consonant blends? - fl, br, nd
How many phonemes are in the word "flax"? - 5
How many phonemes are in the word "quick"? - 4
Which pair of words has the same number of phonemes? - tax and flash
Which of the following sets includes only words with vowel teams? - slight, drain, snow
, Which is the most consistent pattern in the way English uses vowel graphemes? -
Single letters are used to spell short vowel phonemes.
What makes the vowel-r combination difficult for students to learn to read and spell? -
The sounds made by the vowel and the "r" overlap and influence each other.
