ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS LATEST UPDATED 20205/2026
(GRADED A+)
scarborough's reading rope - CORRECT ANSWERS-a reading framework for knowing words
and understanding what they mean
prealphabetic - CORRECT ANSWERS-the earliest phase of literacy development, where
individuals do not yet understand the relationship between letters and sounds
partial alphabetic - CORRECT ANSWERS-a phase of literacy development where individuals
begin to grasp the connection between letters and sounds
full alphabetic - CORRECT ANSWERS-a more advanced phase of literacy development where
individuals recognize most letter sound correspondences and can decode words by sounding out
individual letters and blending them together
decoding - CORRECT ANSWERS-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 ANSWERS-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 ANSWERS-the relationship between written letters
and their associated spoken sounds, essential for decoding words in reading
word awareness - CORRECT ANSWERS-the recognition and understanding of individual words
as distinct units of language, including their sounds, meanings, and spellings
, concepts about print - CORRECT ANSWERS-the understanding of how printed materials, such
as books and other written texts, function and are structured
phonological awareness - CORRECT ANSWERS-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 - CORRECT ANSWERS-a subset of phonological awareness and
specifically refers to the ability to recognize and manipulate individual phonemes (speech sounds) in
spoken words
syllables - CORRECT ANSWERS-units of sound within words that contain a single vowel sounds
and may or may not be preceded or followed by consonant sounds
orton-gillingham approach - CORRECT ANSWERS-a structured, multisensory method designed
to teach reading and writing to individuals with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences
online pedagogy - CORRECT ANSWERS-the practice of teaching and facilitating learning in an
online environment using digital tools and strategies to engage, instruct, and assess students
high leverage practices (HLPs) - CORRECT ANSWERS-the educational practice of tailoring
instruction to meet the diverse learning needs, preferences, and abilities of all students in the classroom
evidence based practices (EBPs) - CORRECT ANSWERS-instructional strategies, interventions,
or approaches that have been validated through rigorous research and empirical evidence
onset - CORRECT ANSWERS-the initial consonant or consonant cluster of a syllable that
comes before the vowel sound
rime - CORRECT ANSWERS-the part of the syllable that consists of the vowel sound and any
consonant sounds that follow it
consonant - CORRECT ANSWERS-a speech sound produced by obstructing the flow of air
through the vocal tract
