EDU 233 Final final Flashcards
Alphabetic Principle
Is the Principle, or that is a 1:1 correspondence between graphemes and phonemes ( Letters and Sounds)
Morphemic Analysis
To analyze a word by breaking it into its indiviual morphemes, in order to better understand the word.
Ambiguous Vowels
Refers to the fact that vowels don’t behave in English
Word Study
The process of Studying words. This an instructional approach for teaching learners how to read and spell.
Spelling Inventory
An Assessment which asks the students to spell carefully selected set of words that grow increasingly difficult..
Braid of Literacy
A representation of literacy as woven set skills. That includes writing, orthography, vocabulary, oral literacy and familiarity with authentic stories and informational texts.
Affix
Any word that is attached to a root; maybe a suffix, or inflectional ending.
RRWWT
Read to, Read With, Write With, Word study and Talk With
Emergent Stage
Learners experiment and imitate stage. They are exploring concepts of print including directionality, features of print, word boundaries, and predictability of text.
Letter name alphabetic stage
Learners are beginning to read and write in a conventional way. Their Knowledge of letter names solidified, and they often invent spellings based on the letter name.
With Word pattern stage
Learners in this stage have a much firmer grasp on the phonemes they hear in words and can encode many of them into familiar orthographic patterns.
Syllables and Affixes Stage
Learners can sell multi-syllable words. They know in the process of learning how syllable is added to roots
Derivational Stage
The Knowledge that learners have about spelling and vocabulary is now growing through the process of derivation.
Morphemes
The Smallest Unit of meaning in language
Syllable
Phonemes that constitute a larger unit of sound within a word, beyond the phoneme level; a syllable must contain a vowel sound
Words Families
Words that share an ending, called a rime. These letter combinations are sometimes called phonograms.
Rime
The vowel sound and any others that follow it in a syllable
Onset
The beginning consonant sounds before the vowel sound in a syllable
Vowel Digraph
Two letters together that represent one vowel sound.
Continuant Consonant
A Consonant that can be stretched out with a continuous sound such as /m/
Vowel
Phonemes where the air flows through the mouth unobstructed
Schwa
The vowel sound of an unaccented syllable in English. The symbol is upside-down e
Dipthong
Phoneme where the mouth glides from vowel sound directly into another. Like oi in oil
Consonants
Phonemes where the flow of air is cut off partially or completely.
Encode
Is translate spoken oral language into symbols
Decode
To take written letters and translate them into sound phonemes. Opposite of encoding
Phonemic Awareness
The understanding that words are made up of individual sounds (phonemes). This a subcategory of phonological awareness.
Phonological Awareness
Awareness of units of speech, such as words, syllables, and phonemes
Graphemes
Letters - written symbols that represent phonemes
Phoneme
basic sound unit of speech
Orthography
The spelling system of a language
Phonics
The relationship between the sounds of language and letter or letter combinations used represent those sounds.
