Phonological awareness Correct Answer: Sounds of language
sound units vary in sizes
whole sentences, words, syllables, rimes
Phonemic Awareness Correct Answer: Smallest unit of sound in language
only level of phoneme
Particular kind of phonological awareness
Phonics Correct Answer: the sounds that letters make and the letters that are
used to represent sounds
Concepts of Print Correct Answer: Basic understanding about the way print works
including the direction of print, spacing, punctuation, letters, and words
Alphabetic Principle Correct Answer: Recognition that phonemes are represented
by graphemes (letters and sounds)
graphemes represent phonemes
Syllables Correct Answer: Parts of words that contain one and only one vowel
sound
,ex. Hat= one syllable
Heat= one syllable but has two vowel letters -ONLY ONE VOWEL sound
Clap hands together and find them
Rhyming Correct Answer: Phonological awareness Skill
recognize some words sound alike
onsets= do not need to be the same
Rimes= do have have to be spelled the same to rhyme
Phoneme blending Correct Answer: putting sounds together
Phoneme segmenting Correct Answer: Taking apart syllables or words into
separate phonemes
onsets Correct Answer: consonants that go before the rimes
/bl/= blue
rimes Correct Answer: part of syllables that begin with the vowel and extend to
the end of the syllable
/ew/= chew
consonance Correct Answer: repetition of a consonant sound usually the end or
middle of words
,ex. school- the l sound
black- the k sound
Assonance Correct Answer: repetition of vowel sounds usually in the middle or
end of words - NO RHYMING
Words start with a vowel- involves repetition of vowels
ex. Lake -a sound
Onomatopoeia Correct Answer: Words that make the same sound as it sounds
ex. bang, meow
Automaticity Correct Answer: Reading with accuracy and speed
contributes to fluency
Fluency Correct Answer: reading running records with text accuracy, quickly and
with prosody
necessary but not sufficient for comprehension
Grapheme Correct Answer: the written symbols= LETTERS that denote phonemes
May contain more than one letter
EX. bed - indicates a short vowel sound
, A one to one correspondence between graphemes and phonemes
Consonant Digraph Correct Answer: 2 consonants that go together to make a new
word
ex. shower= /sh/ over powers everything
DO NOT BLEND
Consonant blends Correct Answer: 2 or 3 consonants that BLEND together and
ALL sounds are heard
appear in the beginning or ends of single syllables
ex. start, team = no overpowering= team work
Decoding Correct Answer: Process of recognizing a written word by applying
letter sound correspondence or using analytic skills= break them down
start= st ar t = the hoops
Encoding Correct Answer: Process of WRITING a word using word analysis skills-
SPELLING
encoding and decoding are siblings - helps each other
Phonetic spelling Correct Answer: Invented spelling
young writers slowly pronounce the word they want to write and listen for each
sound they hear
