Phonological awareness Correct Answer: broad skill that includes identifying and
manipulating units of oral language - parts such as words, syllables, and onsets
and rimes. Children who have this are able to identify and make oral rhymes, can
clap out the number of syllables in a word, and can recognize words with the
same initial sounds like 'money' and 'mother.'
Onsets Correct Answer: is the consonant(s) before the vowel(s) in a syllable. Not
all syllables have this (it and and do not have this).
Rime Correct Answer: Also referred to word family. All the sounds (after the
onset) from the vowel to the end of the word. For example, in the word cat it is
at. (The onset is c.)
Inflectional Suffixes Correct Answer: Word parts fixed to the end of root words
that change the form of the root word but not its part of speech, ex: possession,
plurality, tense, active or passive voice, state, comparison. ex: -ed, -es, -ing, -s
Suffixes Correct Answer: are affixed after a base word or word stem to add
information. For example, with the word "prehistoric," the prefix is "pre-"
meaning "before," the base word is "history" meaning "recorded events and
knowledge", and the suffix is "-ic" meaning "relating to the science of."
Phonemic awareness Correct Answer: An exclusively oral language activity. It
refers to the understanding that spoken words are made up of individual sounds
called phonemes. Instruction in this should be viewed as an important element of
a balanced reading program in the early elementary grades.
Phonemes Correct Answer: The smallest units comprising spoken language.
Combine to form syllables and words. For example, the word 'mat' has three: /m/
, /a/ /t/. There are 44 in the English language, including sounds represented by
letter combinations such as /th/.
Grapheme Correct Answer: The written representation of a phoneme.
Alphabetic principle Correct Answer: An understanding that letters and letter
patterns represent the sounds of spoken words.
Invented spelling Correct Answer: An attempt to spell a word based on a student's
knowledge of the spelling system and how it works (e.g., kt for cat).
Phonics Correct Answer: is the understanding that there is a predictable
relationship between the letters (graphemes) of written language and the
individual sounds (phonemes) of spoken language.
Sight Words Correct Answer: The ability to recognize a word immediately without
analysis. Immediate need, high frequency of occurrence, does not follow phonics
decoding generalizations. Picture word association, key word approach are
examples.
Mnemonic Correct Answer: (adj.) relating to or designed to assist the memory;
(n.) a device to aid the memory
Phonemic patterns Correct Answer: Words that have similar sounds.
Analytical approach Correct Answer: A whole to part phonics approach that uses
whole words and identifying individual sounds as part of those words. Effort is
made to avoid saying letter sounds in isolation. A type of phonics instruction.
Synthetic approach Correct Answer: A part to whole phonics approach that uses
individual letter sound relationships in isolation that are combined to form words.
A type of phonics instruction
Jig-Saw Cooperative learning method Correct Answer: A large task is broken up
into pieces by having each member of the cooperative learning group become an
expert on one small part. Each member reports back to the group what they have
learned and these pieces are put together for the final group product.
3 components of cooperative learning activities Correct Answer: 1) Success for
the individuals must be dependent upon success for the group 2) Every
