Alphabetic Basics

Question 0

Phonemic Awareness

Answer 0

Recognition of phonemes, ability to segment words into constituent phonemes, ability to blend phonemes and substitute phonemes to make new words

Question 1

Phonological Awareness

Answer 1

Recognition of distinct segments of spoken sound: words, syllables, and phonemes

Question 2

Phoneme

Answer 2

Smallest unit of sound

/s/, /ch/, /f/

Question 3

Syllable

Answer 3

A word or distinct segment of a word that is naturally pronounced in a single, uninterrupted vocalization

Question 4

Voiced and Unvoiced consonants

Answer 4

Voiced consonants make your vocal cords vibrate; Unvoiced do not
V: b, d, g
Uv: p,t,k

Question 5

Morpheme

Answer 5

Smallest unit having meaning: base words, prefixes, and suffixes

{bio} {-ist} {-logy}

Question 6

Phonics

Answer 6

Study of relationships between sounds and their written form

Question 7

Grapheme

Answer 7

Symbols that represent phonemes (i.e. Letters)

Question 8

Digraphs

Answer 8

Graphemes made up of more than one letter, such as /ch/

Question 9

Segmenting

Answer 9

Breaking down words into component phonemes

Question 10

Blending

Answer 10

Combining previously learned phonemes to form words

Question 11

Decoding

Answer 11

Use of spelling patterns and phonemic awareness to recognize words. Comprehension of words not necessary during this phase.

Question 12

What two traits should phonics instruction have?

Answer 12

It should be explicit and systematic. Teacher should take deliberate course of action introducing phoneme-grapheme relationships and the material should be organized so that the students are lead from phonemes to groups of phonemes to words

Question 13

What is the structure of synthetic phonics?

Answer 13

Starts at phoneme level and builds toward word level. Must be systematic and explicit. This style uses blending and segmenting and is the most preferred.

Question 14

Analytic phonics

Answer 14

Starts at whole word level and then analyzes their component phonemes

Question 15

What is the smallest element of spoken language?

Answer 15

Phoneme

Question 16

Which of the following is a morpheme?

A. {sca-}
B {a-}
C. {tr-}
D {-nk}

Answer 16

B ad in asymmetrical

Question 17

True or False:

The -ist ending is a motpheme.

Answer 17

True. A morpheme is smallest unit of language that can have meaning.

Question 18

What is onset and rime?

Answer 18

They are parts of syllables; the onset is the first consonant, and rime is made up of the vowels that follow the consonants that follow the onset

Question 19

What phonological awareness skill is integral to analogy phonics?

Answer 19

Recognizing when words begin with (onset) or end with (rime) the same sound.

Question 20

What is primary difference between analogy and analytic phonics?

Answer 20

Analytic uses full words segmented and then blended into new words instead of phonemes out of context as does analogy phonics.

Question 21

What explicit phonics instructional method begins with a spoken word and ends with a written word?

Answer 21

Phonics through spelling. The resultant word may not be spelled correctly, but it is still a systematic instruction towards the objective of identifying letters thar relate to specific sounds.
