Phonics and Decoding Flashcards
phoneme-grapheme correspondence is also known as
letter-sound correspondence
phonemic awareness is associated with the individual ___ in words while phonics is associated with understanding how ____ represent sounds.
sounds; letters
when teaching phoneme-grapheme correspondences, it is important to model the _____ of each sound that can be used when blending sounds to make words
pronunciation
In what sequence should phoneme-grapheme correspondence be taught?
Alphabet knowledge
Consonant Digraphs
Consonant Blends
Other Graphemes (like tch, wr)
R-Controlled Vowels
Vowel Teams
a combination of two consonant letters that form a single consonant speech sound
consonant digraph
clusters of two or three consonants that each retain their own sounds
consonant blends
a vowel immediately followed by the letter ‘r’, and because of that ‘r’ can no longer be pronounced as a long or short vowel.
examples: /ar/ , /or/, and /er/
r-controlled vowel
In what order should systematic consonant and vowel instruction be taught?
consonants and short vowel sounds, then blends, and finally combined vowel sounds (vowel teams, r-controlled, and silent letters like in ‘kn’)
a method of teaching students how to connect the graphemes (letters) with phonemes (sounds) and how to use this letter-sound relationship to read and spell words
Explicit phonics instruction
using a logical and specific scope and sequence that is developmentally appropriate to teach students in the major letters and sounds. This includes short & long vowels, blends, and consonant digraphs (oi, ea, sh, th, etc.). This plan is carefully designed before activities and lessons are developed
Systematic phonics instruction
involves lessons built on those previously taught and students will have to draw and recall from previous lessons. Lessons move from simple to complex, and include clear, concise student objectives. Students have to use their prior knowledge to learn complex skills
Recursive phonics instruction
decoding, encoding, fluency, and reading comprehension are _____.
interrelated
sounding out words while reading
decoding
the process of hearing a word and spelling it based on sounds and phonics
encoding
moving through the text accurately without having to stop to decode
fluency
reading fluently and understanding the text by forming pictures in the brain, predicting, and asking questions
comprehension
uses two of the same letters to spell a consonant phoneme
doublets
two-letter (di-) combinations that create one phoneme
digraphs
three-letter (tri-) combinations that create one phoneme
trigraphs
sounds formed by the combination of two vowels in a single syllable, in which the sound begins as one vowel and moves toward another.
diphthong (ai-, oi-, ou-)
include two or three graphemes, and the consonant sounds are separate and identifiable
consonant blends (like c-l in clean or l-k in milk)
letter combinations that use two letters: one represents the phoneme and the other is silent
silent letter combinations (like kn in knihgt or wr in wrestle)
these two letters always go together and make a /kw/ sound
combination qu (q and u)
a single vowel letter that stands for a vowel sound
single letters
(short vowels: cat , hit, gem)
(long vowels: me, no, mute)
a single consonant letter can be represented by a phoneme
single letters (b,d,f,g,h, etc.)
combinations of two, three, or four letters that stand for a vowel sound
vowel teams (ea-, oa-, ou-, oo-, -eigh)
a vowel sound in an unstressed syllable, where a vowel does not make its long or short vowel sound. It is often called the “lazy” sound in a word. (Like ‘a’ in ‘balloon’ (sounds like ‘uh’)).
Schwa sound
consonant-vowel-consonant (bat, cat, tap)
CVC
consonant-vowel-consonant-silent e (make, take, bake)
CVCe
consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant (trap, chop, grit)
CCVC
