Chapter 8 Terms Flashcards
The ability to see a word, decoded, and automatically understand its meaning.
Automaticity
A component of fluency that require students to blend together phonemes, the smallest units of sound, to form words.
Blending
The implied meaning of the word based on its context.
Connotation
A complete see that require students to confer letters into words.
Decoding
The literal meaning of a word.
Denotation
Turning messages into symbols which could include something as simple as translating spoken language into text or as advanced as converting math word problems into an equation.
Encoding
The ability to read with Percision, speed, and the proper intonation.
Fluency
Also called the alphabetic principle, refers to the fact that each individual sound has a graphical representation of individual letters or letter blends. The second part is the correspondence between sounds and letters that leads to reading.

The beginning sound in a word. For example, in the word grin, the sound made by GR is this. Use of these and Rimes is an important component of phonemic awareness.
Onset
The smallest unit of sound, which are blended to create words.
Phonemes

Phonemic awareness
The ability to detect individual sounds in the spoken word. It is a critical first step in learning to read and provides the foundation for phonics.
Phonological awareness
How context contributes to the meaning of a word.
Pragmatics
The realization that books have front and back covers, that the word start at the top of the page in progress from left to right, and that as you finish Alina text, you move to the next line. Students must learn this prior to learning to read.
