Final Exam Flashcards
what is emergent literacy? list 3 examples
precursors to actual reading of words - the things that have to happen prior to actual reading/decoding of words
- print concepts: understand that print has meaning
- phono awareness: awareness of sounds
- early writing
possible impact of language impairment on emergent literacy?
semantic deficit: have to have the word in their vocabulary before they can make sense of it in a book. even if a teacher is reading a story, the child won’t be able to understand a particular word if it’s not in his vocabulary
Why are SLPs involved in reading and writing instruction?
because understanding spoken language/reading and using oral language/writing are all LANGUAGE
dealing with reading and writing can lead to ____ issues for SLPs
case load
SLPs can be ____ or ____ involved in reading and writing instruction
directly, indirectly
prevention of reading disability - assess using what? what age?
RTI
- pre-k/kindergarten
primary targets for preventing reading disability (things to teach BEFORE issues arise) - (5)
- phonological awareness
- print concepts
- alphabetic awareness
- oral language skills
- emergent writing
phonological awareness can be broken down into what 2 things? explain each
- phoneme awareness: can hear the word and break it down into it’s sounds.
- ex/ cat = c a t - decoding: using knowledge of speech sounds to look at the word “cat” and make connections
give some examples of print concepts
- knowing that the print on the page tells us a story
- read L to R
- turn one page at a time
what is alphabetic awareness?
connecting print to letters
what’s emergent writing? give ex.
scribbles
- ex/ have a child draw a pic and then ask them to write their name on it - do they understand that letters are separate from pictures?
how do kids learn reading and writing compared to spoken language?
- spoken language: naturally develops, doesn’t require specific, direct instruction
- literacy (reading and writing) requires some degree of specific instruction
6 types of assessment of early literacy skills
- quality and quantity of home literacy experiences
- criterion-referenced (not norm-referenced)
- Observational checklist
- Social literacy skills - how they interact with someone reading a book
- literacy orientation - motivation and attn to book
- PALS - PreK
common approach to early literacy intervention?
embedded-explicit approach
explain the embedded portion of the embedded-explicit approach
- list 3 things that fall under it
things inherent in a setting that you can use for intervention - setting up a naturalistic environment to include literacy
- naturalistic opportunities
- adult primes the activity
- adult follows child
explain explicit part of embedded-explicit approach
- list 3 things that fall under it
- give example
adult models very specific behavior, gives a child’ models/scripts to help with narrative/writing skills
- structured
- sequenced
- adult-directed instruction
ex/ adult playing doctor and writing a prescription for a child - what does doctor say at doctor’s office? what does mom say?
early literacy intervention strategies (if child is struggling with early literacy) (6)
- rhymes and chants
- syllable recognition
- initial sound awareness
- print referencing
- literate language
- story dictation
look at slides 2,3,4, 12, 13, and 21 on literacy PP
look at them
spelling foundational skills? (4)

- visual storage
- orthographic knowledge
- morphological knowledge
interventions for spelling focus on?
- one example
deficit
- word sorts
foundational skills for reading comprehension (3)
- vocabulary development
- narrative ability
- use of metastrategies
assessments for reading comprehension (3)
- literal questions
- inferential questions
- critical questions
interventions for reading comrehension for school age students explicitly teach what? give 4 ex/
- metaskills
1. activate prior knowledge
2. graphic organizers
3. summarization
4. rereading
school-age students: writing
- what does the writing process involve?
planning, writing, re-writing
types of asessments for writing?
criterion-based or norm-referenced
intervention for writing? (4)
- focus on foundational skills
- story organizers
- self-editing
- evaluative rubric
cultural considerations
- explain accomodation
- explain incorporation
- explain adaptation
- consider the student’s communication styles and home literacy practices
- build on the community’s funds of knowledge
- provide access to language and literacy culture that leads to academic success
2 popular literacy interventions for students with significant levels of impairment - read about these on slide 19, ch 9
- I to I model
- Explicit phonological awareness intervention
writing lab approach - top down or bottom up?
top down
writing lab approach relfects what approach?
construvtivist/information processing
the writing lab approach
- teaches what?
- uses what?
- _____ projects
- projects are ____
- ____ partnerships
- the writing process
- computer support
- personally meaningful projects
- shared with an audience
- collaborative partnerships for editing, revisions, and feedback
what does the behaviorism say about learning? Who developed this?
learning occurs when an environmental stimulus triggers a response or behavior
- BF Skinner
what is the goal of the behaviorism theory?
increasing the frequency of positive behaviors and decreasing altering negative behaviors
How does the behaviorism theory apply to individuals with ID?
- do drill and practice activities because these kids need structure
what does Vygotski’s sociocltural theory say about cognitive developmentt? explain
- it is socially mediated
- a child’s interactions with others influence his or her cognitive understandings
What’s the progression of the sociocultural theory?
initially a child and a more capable partner solve problems together, but eventually the child internalizes the process and is able to carry out the function independently
Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory says that ____ plays a critical role in shaping learning and thought? give ex/
- language
- private speech: a child talking themselves through something - one step closer to being independent in doing that task
give an example of applying vygotsky’s sociocultural theory to ID
- have an adult/more capable partner scaffold - they become more independent as they internalize the skill
main idea of the systems/ecological approach?
an individual’s family, community, and culture shape his or her functioning throughout the life span
systems/ecological apprach says that human behavior and development must be viewed how?
as occurring withing complex systems
types of goals systems/ecological appraoch focuses on? particularly useful for?
- functional or life-skill goals linking aspects of language use, form, and function
- for older students or adults with ID
how does the systems/ecological approach apply to individuals with ID? (2)
- what kind of support system do they have - involved parent? teacher? programs at school?
- we’re trying to make them successful in everyday life, day-to-day functional skills
definition of intellectual disability

when we focus on the ecological model for individuals with ID, what do we do?
look at each of the levels and figure out how an individual can function at each level - what modifications can we make to the environment to help them be competent
ex/ greeter at walmart with ID - modifications that might need to be made at each level of the ecological system?
