Ch7 Flashcards
these affect word meaning; both prefixes and suffixes
affixes
during this stage instead of looking at words as single-syllable units, how do these students look at them
as two or more units of sound and often of meaning as well
use larger chunks to decode, spell, and store words in memory
consolidated alphabetic phase
students in this stage learn where these happen within words so that they can use the appropriate chunks to read, spell, and determine meaning
syllable and morphemic breaks
what type of vocabulary should students be learning
general academic and domain-specific
what are the three tiers of vocabulary
words, general academic vocab, and domain-specific academic vocab
students need to learn how to do this with words so that they can grow confidently and competently into independent word learners
breaking words into morphemic parts
this engages students in examining how important word elements combine; it is a powerful tool for vocab development and figuring out unfamiliar words during reading
morphemic analysis
steps to morphemic analysis
examine the word for meaningful parts, try out the meaning in a sentence, look up in dictionary, record the new word
t/f students in this stage should be using dictionaries frequently
t
this is used in disciplinary studies and includes specialized vocabulary that has a specific meaning; words from these domains become extremely important as kids move through the grades
domain-specific academic vocabulary
ways to engage students when it comes to domain-specific academic vocab
activate background knowledge, explain meaning of word and how it is used and the relationship with others, use graphic organizers, discuss examples and non-examples
what is the effectiveness of graphic organizers
visual presentation of relationships among target vocab and related concepts
this is ubiquitous in the language used across all disciplines; students’ knowledge of this is related to school success
general academic vocabulary
what words should you teach students
critical to address in depth before moving into the unit/selection, critical to address briefly, critical but might lend to students’ problem solving while reading
where syllables meet
syllable juncture
