Fricatives - CORRECT ANSWER-Consonant sounds produced by forcing air through a narrow
opening or passage in the vocal tract, creating friction, this includes /f/, /v/, /s/, /z/, /sh/, /zh/,
and /th/.
Affricatives - CORRECT ANSWER-Consonant sounds that begin as stops but are released as
fricatives, which involves a brief stoppage of airflow followed by a slow release with friction,
such as the sounds /ch/ and /j/.
Glides - CORRECT ANSWER-Consonant sounds that glide immediately into vowels, which
includes /h/, /w/, and /y/.
Liquids - CORRECT ANSWER-Consonant sounds characterized by a partial closure of the vocal
tract, allowing for the relatively free flow of air, like /l/ and /r/.
Voiced - CORRECT ANSWER-Sounds produced with vibration of the vocal cords.
Unvoiced - CORRECT ANSWER-Sounds produced without vibration of the vocal cords.
, Decoding - CORRECT ANSWER-The process of using knowledge of letter sound relationships
(grapheme phoneme correspondence) to translate written symbols (graphemes) into spoken
language (phonemes) and recognize words.
Orthographic Mapping - CORRECT ANSWER-The process by which individuals learn to recognize
and store the visual representations of words in their long-term memory, which requires
phonemic awareness, letter sound knowledge, and the mechanism for sight word learning.
Letter-Sound Correspondence - CORRECT ANSWER-The relationship between written letters and
their associated spoken sounds, essential for decoding words in reading.
Consonant Blends - CORRECT ANSWER-A combination of two letters that represent a single
sound or phoneme, like "ch" or "oa".
Vowel Team - CORRECT ANSWER-A pair or group of adjacent vowels that represent a single
sound or phoneme.
Diphthongs - CORRECT ANSWER-Complex vowel sounds that consist of a blend of two vowel
sounds within the same syllable.
Silent Letter Patterns - CORRECT ANSWER-Sequences in words where certain letters are written
but not pronounced, such as the "k" in "knight" or the "b" in "lamb".
Graphemes - CORRECT ANSWER-The written symbols (letters or combinations of letters) that
represent phonemes (speech sounds) in written language.
Phonemes - CORRECT ANSWER-The smallest units of sound in spoken language that distinguish
one word from another.
Comprehension - CORRECT ANSWER-Understanding and interpreting the meaning of text.
