/. print awareness - Answer-✅the understanding that printed text carries meaning,
including the recognition of words, letters, and the functions of various elements in a
book or written material
/.letter awareness - Answer-✅the understanding that letters are representations of
sounds
/.book awareness - Answer-✅the understanding of how books work, including concepts
such as reading from left to right, turning pages, and recognizing the front and back
covers
/.word awareness - Answer-✅the recognition and understanding of individual words as
distinct units of language, including their sounds, meanings, and spellings
/.concepts about print - Answer-✅the understanding of how printed materials, such as
books and other written texts, function and are structured
/.phonological awareness - Answer-✅the ability to recognize and manipulate the
sounds of spoken language, including words, syllables, and phonemes(individual
speech sounds), without necessarily understanding the meaning of the words
/.phonemic awareness - Answer-✅a subset of phonological awareness and specifically
refers to the ability to recognize and manipulate individual phonemes (speech sounds)
in spoken words
/.syllables - Answer-✅units of sound within words that contain a single vowel sounds
and may or may not be preceded or followed by consonant sounds
/.onset - Answer-✅the initial consonant or consonant cluster of a syllable that comes
before the vowel sound
/.rime - Answer-✅the part of the syllable that consists of the vowel sound and any
consonant sounds that follow it
, /.consonant - Answer-✅a speech sound produced by obstructing the flow of air through
the vocal tract
/.vowel - Answer-✅a speech sound produced without significant construction or closure
of the vocal tract
/.stops - Answer-✅consonant sounds produced by one push of breath and then
stopping the air, including /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, and /g/
/.nasals - Answer-✅consonant sounds produced with the nasal passage open, allowing
air to escape through the nose, including /n/, /m/, and /ng/
/.fricatives - 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 - 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 - Answer-✅consonant sounds that glide immediately into vowels, includes /h/,
/w/, and /y/
/.liquids - 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 - Answer-✅sounds produced with vibration of the vocal cords
/.unvoiced - Answer-✅sounds produced without vibration of the vocal cords
/.decoding - 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 - 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 - Answer-✅the relationship between written letters and
their associated spoken sounds, essential for decoding words in reading
/.consonant blends - Answer-✅a group of two or more consonants in a word where
each consonant sound is heard, such as "bl" in "blend" or "str" in "street"
