I. Decoding: The ability to translate a word from print to speech,
usually by em- ploying knowledge of sound symbol
correspondences; also the act of deciphering a new word by
sounding it out.
II. 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).
III. Scarborough's Reading Ropes identify 3 major strands or sub
skills that contribute to printed word recognition. What are they?:
Phonological aware- ness, decoding, and word recognition
IV. Orthography: A writing system for representing language.
V. True: To know what the word actually says, the reader must
look closely at all the letter sounds and recode them into sound
and sense
VI. What is word study?: The point of learning to decode by Phil's
and to recognize orthographic patterns
VII. 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.
VIII. irregular words: A word whose spelling or pronunciation does
not conform to the system of sound-symbol correspondences or
syllable patterns
IX. Explain the 4 part processing model: Context to meaning,
meant to phono- logical and orthographic
X. When students' abilities to
read real words are tested with lists, using a timer, the strand of
the Reading Rope is being assessed: Sight recognition
