Orthography and discourse Flashcards
Orthography
The spelling system for a particular language
What are analytic phonics?
Children learn to recognise words by sight, method similar to rote learning
Synthetic phonics
Children are taught the sounds of the English language and then teaches them to develop the skills needed to decode, encode and read and write words
> Deemed as the easier way to spell
Analytic phonics
Learn:
- Break down words into phonemes and graphemes
- Decode words by separating them
- Onset (vowel/syllable) at the start of words
- Use rhyme or analogy to learn words with similar patterns
- Recognise one sound at a time
- Seeing pictures that show words starting with the same letters
Synthetic phonics
Learn:
- Remember up to 44 phonemes
- Graphemes e.g. ‘ough’, ‘ow’
- Recognise grapheme, sound out each phoneme
- Memorise phonemes
- Multi sensory approach
> See the symbol
Listen to the sound
Use an action (such as counting phonemes on fingers)
Phonemes vs graphemes
Phoneme = the individual sound within a word
Grapheme = the individual, symbolic letter to represent this sound in writing
Orthography - Omission
Leaving out letters e.g. ‘happend’
Orthography - Insertion
Adding extra letters
Orthography - Substitution
Substituting one letter for another e.g. ‘abowt’
Orthography - Transportation
Reversing the correct order of the words (letters) e.g. ‘olny’
Orthography - Over/undergenralisation
Overgeneralisation is not appropriate to apply it, under is only applying in one context
Orthography - Sallient
Writing only the key sounds of a word
