KPEERI Exam Study Guide
Sequences for how information is selected, sequenced, organized, and practiced. These occur within
each component of reading where a logical progression of skills would be evident: easier skills are
introduced before more difficult skills, so that skills build progressively. - Answer-Coordinated
Instructional Sequences
The skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are developmental precursors to conventional forms of reading
and writing. - Answer-Emergent Literacy
Language that is spoken. - Answer-Expressive Language
What are the 5 components of Reading? - Answer-Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary,
and comprehension.
Vocabulary common to written texts but not commonly a part of speech; in the Standards, these words
and phrases are analogous to Tier Two words and phrases are typically this... - Answer-General
academic words and phrases
(Remember, Tier 2 isn't necessarily common in every day language Ex. analyze, restrict, formulate.)
The relationship between letters and phonemes. - Answer-Graphophonemic
(Examples would include Recognizing alphabetic sequence while singing the alphabet song, naming
letters as well as matching upper and lowercase letters).
,Words that are spelled the same but have different origins and meanings. They may or may not be
pronounced the same (e.g., can as in a metal container/can as in able to). - Answer-Homograph
-same spelling, different meaning and may have a different pronunciation
(Remember- Homographs are always spelled the same, so remember the ending "-graph," which is a
Greek root meaning "writing.")
"When the teacher WRITES with a pencil, she needs LEAD to LEAD instruction"
Lead= graphite
Lead=guide
Words that sound the same but are spelled differently (e.g., cents/sense, knight/night). - Answer-
Homonym
-Multiple Meaning Words-
"nym" means name
Remember the sentence "Hello, my name is Amber, I came to buy Amber.
Amber= name Amber=fossilized resin
Words that may or may not be spelled alike but are pronounced the same. These words are of different
origins and have different meanings (e.g., ate and eight; scale as in the covering of a fish; and scale as in
a device used to weigh things) - Answer-Homophone
,(Homophones always sound alike, so remember the ending "-phone," which is a Greek root meaning
"sound.")
Remember the sentence "I am on the PHONE, can you HEAR me in HERE?"
Hear- listen
Here- location
These routines include the following sequence of steps:
Explicit instruction
Modeling
Guided practice
Student practice, application, and feedback
Generalization - Answer-Instructional Routines
The matching of an oral sound to its corresponding letter or group of letters. - Answer-Letter-sound
correspondence
This concept includes reading, writing, and the creative and analytical acts involved in producing and
comprehending texts. - Answer-Literacy
This is the smallest meaningful unit of language. This can be one syllable (book) or more than one
syllable (seventeen). It can be a whole word or a part of a word such as a prefix or suffix. For example,
the word ungrateful contains three of these: un, grate, and ful. - Answer-Morpheme
An analysis of words formed by adding prefixes, suffixes or other meaningful word units to a base word.
- Answer-Morphemic Analysis
, (meanings of words can be determined or inferred by examining their meaningful parts.)
Ex. biology= bio+logy
bio=life logy=the study of
Units of meaning within words. The study of how words are formed from prefixes, roots, and suffixes
(e.g., mis-spell-ing), and how words are related to each other. - Answer-Morphology
Remember: Morphology (Greek Origin)
morph+o+loge+y
morph=form, structure
loge= speech, word, account, reason
This is using a word's letter patterns to help determine, in part, the meaning and pronunciation of a
word.
For example, the morpheme vis in words such as vision and visible is from the Latin root word that
means to see; and the ay in stay is pronounced the same in the words gray and play. - Answer-
Morphophonology
morpho=shape/structure
phono=sound
logy=study of
______________ is the rate at which a child can recite "overlearned" stimuli such as letters and single-
digit numbers. (May be connected to executive functioning or processing speed) - Answer-Naming
Speed
