Deck 1 Flashcards
Three Key Principals of Reading Instruction
E - Explicit
M - Multi-Sensory
S - Systematic (reduces the cognitive load for students)
What is the Big Five?
- Phonemic Awareness
- Phonics
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension
What is Dyslexia?
- Is a language-based reading disability
- Is synonymous with specific learning disability
- Is NOT seeing words or letters backwards
Definition: A specific learning disability that is neurologically-based and
characterized by difficulties with decoding and encoding that are the result of a
deficit in the phonological component of language and is often unexpected in
relation to other cognitive abilities and effective classroom instruction, secondary
consequences may include problems in comprehension.
3 Weaknesses in Children with Reading Disabilities
- phonological awareness (most common)
- word retrieval
- working memory
What is a consonant?
A closed sound (formed by obstructing the flow of air out of your mouth fully or
partially).
What is a Vowel?
An open sound; nucleus of every syllable
What are the short vowels?
/ă/ apple / ĭ/ itch /ŭ/ up
/ĕ/ egg /ŏ/ octopus /oo/ book /aw/ bought
What are the long vowels?
/ā/ ape / ī/ ice /ū/ cube
/ē/ eat /ō/ oak /oo/ moon
What is a Syllable?
A pronounceable group of letters containing a vowel.
cel e brate dis rup tive un hap py par tic u lar
What is a Digraph?
Two consonants that when combined make one new speech sound.
/ch/ /sh/ /wh/ /th/ /ph/ /ck/
What is a Blend?
Two or more consonants that when combined make a certain sound, however, each consonant retains its original sound. Also called consonant cluster:
/br/ /cl/ /st/ /pr/ /spr/
What is a Diphthong?
Two vowels, when combined make a certain sound and not necessarily the sound of either vowel alone. Vowels that glide from one to another.
/oi/ as in boy and boil & /ou/ as in shout and cow
Voiced and Unvoiced Consonant Pairs
• Two sounds with the same manner and placement of production
• The voiced sound is produced using the vocal cords; the unvoiced is produced without the use of the vocal cords
p/b s/z/ f/v t/d ch/j k/g
What are Phonemes?
Smallest unit of sound which changes one word to another.
What is the definition of Phonics?
A reading method that stresses letter/sound relationships between reading
and spelling
What is Phonology?
The rule system by which phoneme sounds are sequenced and uttered to make words. For examples, English words do not end in v. /sw/ is an acceptable consonant blend, but /gf/ and /sj/ are not.
