Q

Phonology

A

the study of the sound structure of spoken language and is one of the five components of oral language.

Understanding phonology supports the development of phonological awareness and is a component of early literacy and language development.

A

The concept that letters or letter combination represent spoken sounds.
Students need multiple exposures to link letters to their corresponding sounds efficiently.

64
Q

Phonics

A

Instruction of phonics is the explicit process of teaching the alphabetic principle. It consists of linking letters to the consistent, predicable sounds they represent in English. This concept is called letter-sound correspondence.

65
Q

Synthetic phonics

A

Explicit instruction of individual letter sounds and letter combinations.

Isolates letter sounds of groups of letters and blends the separate sounds to enunciate words.

Given the word “cat,” students learn to identify three individual phonemes /c/ /a/ /t/ and blend them together to pronounce the word “cat.”

66
Q

Analytic phonics

A

Explicit instruction of whole words and patterns within words.

Analyzes whole words to identify patterns and common phonograms, onsets, and rimes.

Given the word “cat,” students learn to recognize similar patterns in “bat” and “hat” using this knowledge to read new words.

67
Q

Free morpheme

A

A base word that can stand alone

Example: hat

68
Q

Bound morpheme

A

A word part that cannot stand alone

Example: -s, un-, -ject

69
Q

Inflection or inflectional morpheme

A

A suffix that changes a words tense or number or implies possession or comparison. (Example: run» running)

70
Q

Derivational morpheme

A

An affix (prefix or suffix) that most often changes a words part of speech.

Example; sing&raquo_space;> singer

71
Q

Onset

A

The initial consonant of consonant clusters in a word.

Example: h in the word hop

72
Q

Rime

A

The vowel sound and the consonants which follow.

Example: -op in the word “hop”

73
Q

Syllable

A

A Word or part of a word that has one vowel sound.

74
Q

Digraph

A

A combination of two letters representing one sound, such as th, sh, or ch.

75
Q

Vowel digraph

A

Two vowels represent one sound, such as “oa” in boat or roam. Also known as a vowel team.

76
Q

Blend

A

Two or more consecutive consonant sounds that retain their individual sounds, such as “st” in “last” or “spr” in spring.

77
Q

Diphthong

A

Two adjacent vowels in a single syllable. The sound begins as one vowel and moves toward another.

Example: oy in boy and ou in cloud

78
Q

Schwa

A

An indistinct vowel sound in an unstressed syllable. Most frequently, but not always, heard as the /u/ sound, such as “a” in “about.”

79
Q

R-controlled vowel

A

Any vowel directly followed by the letter r. The r changes the pronunciation of the vowel so that it is neither long nor short. (For example, bird and car)

80
Q

L-controlled vowel

A

A vowel is directly followed by the letter l. The l changed the pronunciation of the vowel so that it is neither long nor short. (For example, fall or pull)

Words recognized by sight

84
Q

High frequency words

A

encountered most often in texts differ from words that can be read by sight.

85
Q

Decodable high-frequency words

A

Children encounter these words, commonly and frequently in reading materials. They may include basic pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and other words necessary for constructing sentences. Examples of decodable high frequency words include: “and, it, he, she, we, four, etc.”

86
Q

Irregularly spelled high-frequency words

A

These are words that do not follow typical phonetic patterns, and cannot be decoded as easily as regularly spelled words. Instruction should focus on identifying the decodable parts of these words. For example, in the word “said,” both the S and the D represent predictable sounds, while the “ai” makes an unpredictable, short, E, sound. Other examples of irregularly spelled high frequency Words include; was, said, to, two, of, come, and does.

87
Q

Morphological awareness

A

Smallest meaningful unit of language. They can be classified as prefixes, suffixes, bases, and roots.

89
Q

Can stand independently but may also be combined with affixes or other words to form a compound word. Base words are considered unbound morphemes.

90
Q

Root words

A

Must be combined with affixes to form a recognizable word. Root words are considered bound morphemes.

91
Q

Prefixes and suffixes

A

Must be combined with bases or roots to form a recognizable word. Affixes are considered bound morphemes.

Examples: s, es, Ed, ing, ly, ion, tion, ation, able, y, ness, ment, en, er, est.

94
Q

Inflectional endings

A

Modify the tense or number or denote a comparison.

Example : care- cares, cared, caring

Happy- happier, happiest

Peach- peaches

95
Q

Derivational affixes

A

Added to the end of a word, known as suffixes, generally change the grammatical category of a word, although there are occasional exceptions. However, all prefixes are Derivational.

Example: beauty- beautiful (noun to adj)

Creative- creatively (adj to adverb)

Enjoy- enjoyment (verb to noun)

96
Q

Denotative meaning

A

The teacher models reading a sentence or small section of the text.

The student or students echo the teachers reading of the same sentence or small section of the text, matching how the teacher modeled the sentence or section.

132
Q

Phrase-cued reading

A

Select a short text, around 100-250 words.

Mark the end of each sentence with a double slash //, and phrase boundaries with a single slash.

The teacher reads the passage aloud once, modeling appropriate prosody while the student follows along silently.

The student then reads the passage aloud several times, focusing on appropriate prosody. The teacher provides immediate feedback to the students.

Ultimately, students read aloud from a copy of the text without the coding.
