Phonological awareness - answer the ability to reflect on and manipulate the sound
structure of spoken language
phoneme - answersmallest unit of sound
syllable - answerA unit of speech heard as a single sound; one "beat" of a word or
phrase.
Onset and Rime - answerIn a syllable, the onset is the initial consonant or consonants,
and the rime is the vowel and any consonants that follow it (e.g., the word sat, the onset
is "s" and the rime is "at". In the word flip, the onset is "fl" and the rime is "ip").
Blending - answerThe task of combining sounds rapidly, to accurately represent the
word.
Segmenting - answerSeparating the individual phonemes, or sounds, of a word into
discrete units.
Substituting phonemes - answerstudents make new words by replacing a specific
phonemes with another. ex; Say the word /bag/. Now change the /b/ to /r/ and what
does it spell? rag
deleting phonemes - answerstudents identify the word that remains when a phoneme is
deleted ex; what word is left when we drop the /s/ from stop?
Word Analysis - answerthe process readers use to figure out unfamiliar words based on
written patterns
high frequency sight words - answer- Words that appear very frequently in written texts
Decodable Words - answerWords containing phonic elements that were previously
taught.
Roots and Affixes - answerwords that come before or after the base word; could have a
meaning and help you find the actual defenition
WIDA Taxonomy - answerThe English language development standards. Level 1 -
entering. Level 2 - Emerging. Level 3 - Developing. Level 4 - Expanding. Level 5 -
Bridging.
, Stages of Language Acquisition - answerPreproduction
Early Production
Speech Emergence
Intermediate Fluency
Advanced Fluency
syllibication patterns - answerCommon Syllable Division Patterns
-c+le In a consonant + l e pattern, the word is divided before the
consonant plus l e
v-cv In a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern, the word is divided after
the first vowel
vc- or cvc- In a vowel-consonant or consonant-vowel-consonant
pattern, the word is divided after the consonant that follows
the vowel
cw- Compound words are divided between the base words
phg- Multiletter phonograms are never divided regardless of other
patterns, such as v-cv or vc-cv
vc-cv In a vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel pattern the word is
usually divided between the consonants
vc-ccv in a vowel-consonant-consonant-consonant-vowel pattern
the word is usually divided after the first consonant in the
series
p- Prefixes always include vowels, making them separate
syllables
-s Suffixes usually include vowels, making them separate
syllables
role of fluency in literacy development - answer
fluency - answersmoothness of speech
Accuracy - answerhow close a measurement is to the true value
rate - answerthe speed at which a person speaks
Prosody - answerthe patterns of rhythm and sound used in poetry
Impact of fluency on comprehension - answerWhen reading fluency is poor,
comprehension often suffers. Decoding mistakes can change meaning, and a slow,
labored pace can make it more difficult to maintain coherency and meaning. Even when
comprehension is good, a slower reading pace may cause fatigue or make it difficult to
keep up with the volume of assigned work
moral - answera lesson taught by a literary work
