When should teachers focus on teaching concepts about print?

early on to print conventions through experiences in both reading and writing

especially through focused instruction in the first 6 months of school

what does concepts about print have to do with the alphabetic principle?

alphabetic principle is an important concept about print

they go hand-in-hand in the process to learning how to read and write literacy

how can home experiences impact students’ concepts about print?

Students all have varying experiences with print (ex. bed time stories and read alouds) and can all be at different levels when they come to school

classified as the print of every day life

how might environmental print vary?

regionally

different for different cultures

what is the connection between environmental print and sight/high frequency words?

sight words can become part of environmental print

students will know the environmental print without deciphering the meaning

know why teachers teach some words as sight words - instead of teaching students to decode them.

some words do not sound like they are spelled

sight words

words that are recognized immediately upon sight.

also referred to as high frequency words

Perfectly

according to leu and kinzer, what are the 3 considerations teachers should use when choosing words to teach as sight words? (*note - these are the same considerations that dolch and fry used when they made their lists many years ago).

they should appear frequently in print/should be high-frequency words.
should have meanings that are in a reader’s oral vocabulary.
often cannot be recognized or pronounced by applying phonic generalizations.

what are 2 main ways context clues can be used to help readers? what can context clues help students with?

determine the meaning of familiar and unfamiliar words

determine how to pronounce a word (does it make sense)

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

you will be presented with a word used in context and will choose which pronunciation of the word is correct. (e.g. Please lead me to the lead. Is the first lead pronounced (/leed/ - long e or /led/ - short e?)

/leed/ - long e

do context clues always help readers determine the meaning of words or pronunciations of words?

both

context clues help students know…

what to read (decode) when words look alike.

what to write (encode) when words sound alike

know the hallmarks of the 5 stages/phases of developmental spelling (how is spelling described for each of the 5 stages?)

precommunicative

semiphonetic

phonetic

transitional

standard/conventional

Perfectly

precommunicative stage

first transitional spelling stage.

the child uses letters from the alphabet, but without any letter-sound correspondence.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

phonetic stage

use a letter or group of letters to represent every speech sound that they hear in a word.

although some of their choices do not conform to conventional English spelling, they are systematic and easily understood. (e.g. The letters TAK for take and EN for in.)

Perfectly

transitional stage

the speller begins to assimilate the conventional alternative for representing sounds, moving from a dependence on phonology (sound) for representing words to a reliance on visual representation and an understanding of the structure of words.

ex. EGUL for eagle and HIGHEKED for hiked.

standard/conventional

almost all words are spelled correctly.

teach highly irregular words and words for specific content areas.

suffix

additions to the ends of words

can alter both a word’s grammatical fuction and/or it’s meaning

two important types: inflectional ending + derivational suffix

Perfectly

prefix

additions to the beginning of words

changes the meaning of the word but not the spelling

Perfectly

root/stem

main parts of the word

Perfectly

inflectional suffixes

Often changes the grammatical function but not the core meaning of the root word to which it is added expresses plurality or possession when added to a noun, tense when added to a verb, and comparison when added to an adjective and some adverbs examples: - ing - ed - s or -es

derivational suffix

bound morphemes that may change the way a word is used in an utterance or sentence words formed by the attachment of lexical affixes are derived from other words derivational affixes are those affixes which help in this derivation ex. dis-, re-, in-, be-, en-, -ly, -ance, -able, -ize, -ish, -like, -ment, -ing: if it is used to turn the verb into a noun: example: build --> a building, two buildings, nourish-->nourishing

how to determine the difference between inflectional and derivational suffixes

when seeing if an affix is inflectional or derivational, you need to look at its part of speech and decide whether or not the root word's meaning has changed

what are 3 things that teaching syllables helps learners do?

1. Helps with reading bigger words (decoding) 2. ^ pronunciation of unfamiliar words 3. ^ spelling and writing (encoding)

``` which word in the row is incorrectly syllabicated? la/bor so/da gra/vy ca/mel ```

ca/mel

how do vowels help you know how many syllables are in a word?

because there are as many syllables in a word as there are vowel sounds

is the second syllable in de/mon open or closed?

closed

``` which word in the row has a closed first syllable? la/bor so/da gra/vy cam/el ```

cam/el

if the first syllable in the word "tamel" is open, does it rhyme with ham or pay?

pay

what percent of English words come from Latin origins?

80%

what percent of English words come from Greek or Latin roots?

over 60%

what percent of English words in science and technology disciplines are generated from Greek and Latin roots?

90%

sight words (Dolch and Fry Word Lists) account for what percent of words in K-3 reading material?

50%

environmental print

words that children frequently see in the world around them

morpheme

smallest unit of meaning in a word

affix

both prefix and suffix

prefix

a syllable or word that comes before a root word to change its meaning

suffix

a word or letter placed after the root.

root/stem

main part of the word

inflectional morpheme

a bound morpheme that changes a word to correspond to syntactic rules

derivational morpheme

bound morphemes that may change the way a word is used in an utterance or sentence

word study

an alternative to traditional spelling instruction. It is based on learning word patterns and generalizations.

compound word

two or more words combined to create a new or specific word

open syllable

syllable which ends in a vowel long sound

closed syllable

syllable which ends in a consonant consonant slammed the door at the end short sound

decodable text

text in which most of the words are made up of sound-letter relationships

high frequency words

small group of words (300-500) that account for a large percentage of the words in print; can be regular or irregular words often referred to as "sight words" because automatic recognition of these words is required for fluent reading.

decoding

Using sound/symbol relationships to READ written words

encoding

WRITING words using sound/symbol relationships

homophone

each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling

homograph

each of two or more words spelled the same but not necessarily pronounced the same and having different meanings and origins
