Ch4 and Sound it Out Flashcards
this includes the specific situation or context in which language is used and shared
discourse level
expression, intonation contours, and tone of voice, all of which communicate ideas and emotions
prosody
this is a direct form of communication accompanied by gestures and facial expressions that take place in a shared context
oral language
an indirect form of communication and must contain complete, freestanding messages to make meaning clear
written language
these two things are often the reader’s only cues to the emotions and intent of the writer
punctuation and word choice
second level that children must negotiate; after discourse level
words
why is oral language hard for kids to decipher
words are not distinct when speaking
children must segment the speech sounds or _________ within words and match them to the letters in print
phonemes
letters and individual speech sounds must be understood as discrete units that match in systematic ways in order to master reading and spelling in English
alphabetic principle
this is basically a paraphrase or spontaneous retelling at the discourse level that children produce while turning the pages of a familiar book
pretend reading
more exacting than pretend reading; makes it sounds as though the child is actually reading; accurate reciting of the text
memory reading
children gradually acquire ______; realizing that they should move left to right, top to bottom, and end up on the last word on the page
directionality
the ability to fingerpoint or track accurately to words in print while reading form memory is a phenomenon called
concept of word in text
emergent readers are in what Ehri calls the ________ phase of reading
prealphabetic
like emergent reading, emergent writing is largely this
pretend
children begin to write by approximating the broader contours of the writing system; they start with the linear arrangement of print which is known as
mock linear
once children attain this, they are no longer emergent learners
alphabetic principle
in this part of the emergent stage, learners learn to hold writing sticks and make scribbles on paper
early
in this stage they approximate the most global contours of the writing system; linear arrangement
middle
in this stage kids begin to use letters to represent speech sounds in systematic ways
late
partial representations of sounds
phonetic spelling
isolate individual sounds in the word and apply their knowledge of letter names
phonics
t/f learners need lots of teacher-scaffoleded experiences with reading and writing for real purposes
t
promote oral language discussions around vocab, ideas, and concepts related to the content and genre of a book as teachers read aloud to children
