LETRS ASSESSMENT UNIT 3
Decoding
• The ability to translate a word from print to speech, usually by employing
knowledge of sound symbol correspondences; also the act of deciphering a new
word by sounding it out.
Graphemes
• A letter or letter combination that spells a phoneme; can be one, two, three, or
four letters in English (e.g., e, ei, igh, eigh).
Scarborough's Reading Ropes identify 3 major strands or sub skills that
contribute to printed word recognition. What are they?
• Phonological awareness,
• decoding,
• and word recognition
Orthography
• A writing system for representing language.
True/False?
To know what the word actually says, the reader must look closely at all the letter sounds
and recode them into sound and sense TRUE
, What is word study?
• The point of learning to decode by Phil's and to recognize orthographic patterns
What is the goal of word study?
• To develop automatic recognition of words we've seen before and recall word
spellings for writing. Example: word specific knowledge like bare and bear and
your, you're.
irregular words
A word whose spelling or pronunciation does not conform to the system of sound-symbol
correspondences or syllable patterns
Explain the 4 part processing model
• Context to meaning, meant to phonological and orthographic
