D668 WGU - ELEMENTARY LITERACY CURRICULUM
(LESSON 1 & 2)
Phonology: - Answer -the study of sounds in language, like how words are made up of
different sounds and how those sounds come together to form words. It helps us
understand how we speak and how we hear language.
Sound-Symbol: - Answer -the understanding that letters and letter combinations
(symbols) make different sounds.
Syllables: - Answer -parts of a word that contains one vowel sound, with or without
surrounding consonant sounds. When we say words, we can hear different syllables by
noticing the beats or sounds in the word.
Morphology: - Answer -the study of how words are put together with smaller parts
called morphemes, which can be prefixes, suffixes, or root words. By understanding
morphology, we can figure out the meaning and structure of words.
Syntax: - Answer -the grammar rules for putting words together in sentences. It helps
us understand how to arrange words in the correct order to make clear and meaningful
sentences. {{role of a word}}
Semantics: - Answer -the meaning of words and how they relate to each other. It helps
us understand the meanings of sentences and how words connect to form clear and
meaningful communication.
Why is it important for elementary schools to recognize and address assumptions about
literacy? - Answer -To ensure all students receive an equitable education and have the
opportunity to succeed
Why do teachers use standards when planning lessons? - Answer -To make sure
students learn skills and content needed.
Which of the following best describes the approach used in structured literacy? -
Answer -Focuses on explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics,
and other foundational skills.
What is one of the goals of a literacy-rich environment? - Answer -Fostering the
connection of letter-sound and letter-word within meaning contexts
multisensory: - Answer -education that involves engaging multiple senses, such as
sight, hearing, touch, and movement, to enhance learning and reinforce concepts
