Discourse - answer language used in social, cultural and historical contexts. An
expression of ideas.
4 types of discourse - answer narration, description, exposition and argument.
Language processes that underlay reading - answer phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics and pragmatics
Language processes that underlay writing - answer planning, drafting, sharing,
evaluating, revising, editing and publishing
Writing stages - answer preliterate, emergent, transitional, fluent
Typical 2 year old language - answer uses phrases
Typical 3 year old language - answerspeaks in complete sentences
Typical 4 year old language - answerfully talks with grammatical errors
Typical 5 year old language - answerAcquired basic language skills
Pre-literate stage of writing - answer0-2 years, scribbling
Emergent stage of writing - answer2-4 years, using symbols for letters, random letters
on a page
Transitional stage of writing - answerWhen kids start to realize that words are made up
of sounds, and that letters represent these sounds, they stop using random letters in
their writing. Instead, they start trying to match the sounds they hear in a word to letters
they know. A child might spell "My cat is happy" as "mi kat z hpe."

Fluency stage of writing - answer5-6 yrs, In this stage (which usually happens between
ages 5 and 6), children begin to use "dictionary" spelling rather than "invented" spelling.
The spelling may not be accurate, but children are now aware that different spellings
can have different meanings. They'll even begin to memorize some words, especially
tricky but common words (like "was," "and," "the"), so that they can spell them correctly.
I play with my frind. We like to jump rop! - answerFluency stage
, Types of affixes - answerprefix, root, suffix
Root - answerSimilar to base word but cannot always stand alone
Base Word - answerA stand alone English word that can also form other words by using
prefixes and suffixes
Transition Words - answerand, again, and then, besides, equally important, finally,
further, furthermore, nor, too, next, lastly, what's more, moreover, in addition, first
(second, etc.)
Connecting Words - answeradditionally; also; moreover; furthermore; again; further;
then; besides; too; similarly; correspondingly; indeed; regarding. alternatively; although;
otherwise; instead.
What age do students have trouble making inferences about text? - answer6 and
younger
Mild Dyslexia - answerThe source of dyslexia is a lack of automaticity in retrieving
information from long term memory. Strengths in vocabulary, reasoning, problem
solving, or oral language comprehension
Moderate dyslexia - answerPhonological challenges are paired with rapid naming
deficits. Co-existing conditions
Severe Dyslexia - answerAny students with dyslexia have phonological processing
deficits. Students who have additional challenges or other cognitive and linguistic
weaknesses (e.g., orthographic mapping, processing speed, rapid automatized naming,
working memory, and/or executive functioning) will often experience this form of
dyslexia. Dyslexia impacts accurate and fluent word recognition. While mild or moderate
dyslexia often impacts automatic word recognition, severe dyslexia impacts automatic
word recognition to such a degree that comprehension of text is often compromised as
well. In much the same way, while mild or moderate dyslexia often impacts spelling,
severe dyslexia impacts spelling to such a degree that, even with accommodations,
students may have difficulty expressing their thoughts in writing.
Screening Assessment - answerProvide simple probes designed to measure the
student's individual abilities in reading, writing/spelling, calculations, and problem
solving.
Diagnostic Assessment - answerThe use of multiple measures and reports to identify
student strengths and needs in specific skill areas
Outcome Assessment - answerMeasures the effectiveness of curriculum and instruction
