KPEERI 1 Flashcards
What is the definition of syntax?
The rule system governing sentence formation. The study of sentence structure.
What is a vowel team?
A vowel grapheme or spelling that uses two or more letters for a single speech sound.
What is a syllable?
A unit of pronunciation that is organized around a vowel. It may or may not have consonants before or after the vowel.
What is a tense vowel?
This is the linguistic term for a long vowel. Spoken with tension in the vocal cords.
What is the definition of pragmatics?
The system of rules and conventions for using language and related gestures in social contexts. The study of that rule system.
What is a prefix?
A morpheme that precedes a root or base word and that contributes to or modifies the meaning of a word. A common linguistic unit in Latin-based words.
What is phonetics?
The study of linguistic speech sounds and how they are produced and perceived.
What is phonological processing?
Perception, interpretation, recall, and production of language at the level of the speech sound system, including functions such as pronouncing words, remembering names and lists, identifying words and syllables, giving rhymes, detecting syllable stress, and segmenting and blending phonemes.
What is a glide?
A consonant phoneme that glides immediately into a vowel. NEED EXAMPLES.
What is a lax vowel?
Short vowels produced with little tension in the vocal cords.
What is a liquid?
Speech sound in which the air is obstructed but not enough to cause friction. NEED EXAMPLES.
What is a grapheme?
A letter or letter combination that spells a single phoneme in English, a grapheme may be one, two, three, or four letters, such as e, ei, igh, and eigh.
What is an assimilated prefix?
A prefix changed from its abstract form so that it matches the initial sound of the root to which it is attached, such as the at in attach (ad+tach=attach).
What is a base word?
A free morpheme, usually of Anglo-Saxon origin, to which affixes can be added.
What is a bound morpheme?
A morpheme, usually of Latin origin in English, that cannot stand alone, but is used to form a family of words with related meanings. A bound root (such as -fer) has meaning only in combination with a prefix and/or a suffix.
What are complex syllables?
Syllables that contain one or more consonant clusters.
Which of Ehri’s phases is described below: There is rote learning of incidental visual features of a word, the student does not have letter-sound awareness, students are dependent on context or memory of text. Students also string letters together.
Prealphabetic phase
Which of Ehri’s phases is described below: Students have a partial use of letter-sound correspondence (initial sounds and salient consonants), are constrained by context, gets the first sound and guesses, confuses similar-appearing words, and represents a few salient sounds when spelling, particularly beginning and ending consonants. Knows some letter names and sounds.
Early Alphabetic Phase
Which of Ehri’s phases is described below: The pronunciation of words is on the basis of complete phoneme-grapheme mapping. Students blend all sounds left to right. Students begin to use analogy to known patterns. Their rapid, unitized reading of whole familiar words is increasing. They are phonologically accurate and their sight word knowledge is increasing, beginning to incorporate conventional letter sequences and patterns
Later (or Full?) Alphabetic Phase
Which of Ehri’s phases is described below: Reads variously by phonemes, syllabic units, morpheme units, and whole words. Sequential and hierarchical decoding, notices familiar parts first, reads by analogy to similar known words. They can remember multisyllabic words, and word knowledge includes language of origin. Morphemes, syntactic role, ending rules, prefix, suffix, and root forms.
Consolidated Alphabetic Phase
Which skills should be addressed during the Prealphabetic phase?
Letter naming, alphabet writing, initial sound isolation, spoken words, concepts of print and book handling, vocabulary and oral language.
Which skills should be addressed during the Early Alphabetic phase?
RAN, blending 2-3 phonemes in spoken words, segmenting 2-3 phonemes in spoken words, sound-symbol associations with common consonants and short vowels, reading simple nonsense syllables with regular short vowels, phonetic spelling of some of the sounds in words, vocabulary and listening comprehension.
Which skills should be addressed during the Later (Full) Alphabetic Phase?
Timed reading of real and nonsense words, in lists, accurate reading of simple sentences and passages with phonetically controlled text, correct or phonetic spelling of dictated simple words, sound-symbol matching or knowledge of phonic elements, vocabulary, retelling of passages
