Developing Literacy
Phonics approach - learning phonemes to sound out words
Cant put sounds together to make word
Can blend

Syntax
Parts of a speech
I ran quickly to get out the pouring rain.
Language acquisition
- Babbling - constant repition
- 18-24 - telegraphic speech - dad home
24-26 - first words “ dad” mom - 27 - 4 yrs - private speech playing with language : future tense
- 4-7 yrs - syntax./ metaphors
- Metaphors
Phonology
Phonology is the ability to hear the difference between speech sounds and the way the come together to form speech an words
It has nothing to do with the letters of the alphabet
Phonological awareness
Is a critical early literacy skill that helps kids recognize and work with the sounds of spoken language.
-being able to identify the words that RHYME
- counting the number of SYLLABLESin a name
-recognizing ALLITERATION .
This is first before getting into phonemic awareness which involves segmenting, blending and manipulating.
Phonemic Awareness
The ability to notice, think about , and work with the individual sounds( phonemes) in spoken words.
What is sentence segmenting
Breaking up sentences into words so child understand that sentence makes words
What is WORD segmenting
Break ip words into their individual sounds
Examples: dog = /d/ /o/ /g/. It is separated into three separate sounds.
Phonics
Alphabetic principle
The idea that letters represent the sounds to spoken language.
Phoneme
The smallest unit of sound that can change the meaning of a word.
Examples : tart then add the phoneme /s/ sound to it. The /s/ doesn’t mean anything but now the word is start
Morphology
The study of meaningful units of language called MORPHEMES, and how their pattern of distribution contribute to the forms and structure of words
Exa: unbelievably is made up of the following morphemes:
Un-believe-able-ly
Aka how we take individual units like above to build a word
Syntax
How we take words to build phrases, clauses and sentences , the study for the rule and formation on how words are combines.
For example the sentence apostrophe I ran quickly to get out of the pouring rain” is made up of various parts of speech, including a pronoun, a conjugated verb, a infinitive verb, two adverbs, a preposition, an article, and adjective, and a noun, all organized according to the rules of syntax so that the meaning of the sentence is clearly conveyed

Semantics
Is the study of the meaning of words clauses , and sentences
Pragmatics
Body language, verbal tone, etc. everything but what you are actually saying:
How to demonstrate the process for phonemic awareness
The process of rhyming , segmenting and blending. 
Syllable
Part of a word that contains a single vowel sound that is pronounced as a unit.
Syllables have one vowel sound with or without surrounding constants.
Scaffolding
A process through which a teacher has support for students in order to enhance learning and aid in the mastery of task.
Time allotted for instruction
Language arts – 2 1/2 hours, kindergarten through third grade
In fourth through eighth grade Dash two hours or two. I have instructional time for language arts daily
Should five-year-old to be able to speak with correct syntax
Yes, I’m like a preschooler a five-year-old knows how to speak with correct syntax which is the rules for organizing words into sentences and pragmatics which is the rules for conversation.
Will a two year old use just enough meaning to get the words across
Yes a two-year-old use his chest enough words to get his message across this is telegraphic speech, such as this two word sentence,“ me paint”
Pragmatic
All factors beside words itself to send a meaning to the listener, it is body language, voice tone, etc.
