Morphological awareness skills of English Language Learners and Children with Dyslexia

Question 1

Purpose of this study

Answer 1

to examine the relation of morphological awareness to reading and spelling skills of children with dyslexia, children who are typical readers, and children who are english language learners

Question 2

morphological awareness

Answer 2

sensitivity to derivational morphemes

Question 3

morphological awareness was significantly related to what over and above the contribution of phonological awareness and oral language skills

Answer 3

reading and spelling

Question 4

all students were less sensitive to what when they were required to recognize the appropriate endings on pseudo words

Answer 4

derivational morphology

Question 5

pseudo words require

Answer 5

a high level of morphological awareness than real words

Question 6

awareness of the roots of words and the meaning of suffixes can

Answer 6

reduce the learning loans and help a child master this vocabulary

Question 7

awareness of roots may be

Answer 7

amendable to intervention amount students with dyslexia

Question 8

previous research has shown

Answer 8

students with dyslexia and poor readers have poorer morphological awareness skills than normally achieving readers

Question 9

hypothesis 1: morphological awareness is

Answer 9

deficient in children with dyslexia

Question 10

hypothesis 2: morphological awareness makes a contribution to

Answer 10

reading and spelling that is independent of phonological awareness

Question 11

hypothesis 3: morphological awareness makes a significant contribution

Answer 11

reading and spelling independent of oral language skills

Question 12

what can be expected to make a contribution to word decoding ability

Answer 12

sensitivity to derivational morphology

Question 13

why can sensitivity to derivational morphology be expected to make a contribution to world decoding ability

Answer 13

it may help both word segmentation and the speed of recognition
it also helps with spelling

Question 14

how does sensitivity to derivational morphology help spelling

Answer 14

provides clues to endings
emphasizing the consistency of some features of english spelling
encouraging segmentation skill
providing more rapid access to vocabulary

Question 15

morphological awareness can be expected to help reading comprehension by

Answer 15

aiding understanding of word meanings and providing a strategic approach to the understanding of meaning

Question 16

their hypothesis was that there would be no difference between

Answer 16

children who have EL 1 and ELL who are being educated in english as a second or additional language

Question 17

oral close

Answer 17

used to assess syntactic awareness

Question 18

word identification

Answer 18

read as many words from a list of increasing difficulty as you can

Question 19

word attack

Answer 19

psuedowords or increasing difficulty

Question 20

one-minute word and pseudo word reading

Answer 20

1 minute to read

Question 21

auditory analysis test

Answer 21

syllable and phoneme deletion

Question 22

stanford diagnostic reading test

Answer 22

vocabulary, comprehension, and scanning for information

Question 23

results

Answer 23

the students with dyslexia had significantly lower scores than normal achievers and both groups had lower scores on the pseudoword as opposed to the mored morphological task
no significant differences were reported between the ELL and the EL 1 groups

Question 24

correlations between the word and pseudo word morphological tasks and the various reading and spelling tasks

Answer 24

were all significant

Question 25

Correlations of the morphological tasks and the reading and spelling

Answer 25

were higher than those of phonological awareness and syntactic awareness

Question 26

Morphological skills make an independent contribution to

Answer 26

Reading and spelling

Question 27

Results were blank with prior studies

Answer 27

Consistent

Question 28

The ability to segment words into meaning subunits may

Answer 28

Ease the load on working memory

Question 29

Ability to segment words into meaning subunits may facilitate

Answer 29

spelling and even reading comprehension

Question 30

With younger children however

Answer 30

The words are mono morphological and therefore morphological awareness is not more important than phonological awareness

Question 31

older kids

Answer 31

Morphological awareness is made significant because words are longer

Question 32

Morphological awareness may contribute to the development of

Answer 32

Vocabulary by encouraging the use of a meaning related strategy to decode words

Question 33

Morphological awareness can be particularly helpful when

Answer 33

Phonological processing is compromised as in dyslexia

Question 34

The exception where word attack subtest and spelling of sounds because

Answer 34

They Use pseudo-words

Question 35

phonological skills cannot really compensate well for

Answer 35

Problems with phonological still

Question 36

students with dyslexia

Answer 36

clearly have a deficit in morphological awareness

Question 37

Oral cloze task with more highly correlated with what then what

Answer 37

reading comprehension than phonological awareness

And almost as highly correlated as morphological awareness with reading comprehension
