reading and spelling development Flashcards
which type of skills are reading, writing and spelling?
secondary language skills
only recently evolved in our evolutionary history
what is reading the process of?
print to speech or meaning
what is spelling the process of?
speech or meaning to print
what does reading rely on?
vocabulary
phonological skills
reading skills
reading comprehension
what is phonological skill?
hearing and manipulating skills in spoken language
what is reading comprehension and accuracy positively correlated with?
reading comprehension and accuracy
what resources does automatic reading provide for comprehension?
vocabulary breadth and depth
morphology= study of words
syntax
how do we read?
recognise letters
decode sounds
analogise to known words
predict words from grapho-phonemic context
memory and semantic context
what are graphemes?
smallest units of a word
what are phonemes?
distinct units of sound
what is phonological awareness?
awareness of sounds in words
why do we get ambiguities in visual communication?
only a limited number of symbols to represent words
who investigated whether it is better to learn to spell or read first?
Conrad, 2008
is it better to practice spelling or reading first?
practicing spelling makes the most gains for spelling and reading
reading doesnt improve spelling very much
why does spelling help reading?
enables the brain to develop an efficient orthographic processing system
can identify legitimate letter patterns, and link sounds to letters
who proposed the dual route cascaded model?
Coltheart et al, 2001
what processes are involved in the dual route cascaded model?
look at the word
extract the visual and letter units
go to the orthographic input lexicon, or grapheme phoneme rule system
what happens if a word enters the orthographic input lexicon?
a mental dictionary of orthographic, written words
mental library of what written words look like
consider the semantic meaning, and the phonological output lexicon- what the word sounds like
what other system can a letter unit enter?
the grapheme-phoneme rule system
when is the grapheme phoneme rule system used?
if we are hearing a word for the first time
use it to break down a word
what type of model is the dual route cascaded model?
cascade model- all of the processes happen at the same time, except looking at the word and saying it
what is surface dyslexia?
difficulties reading irregular words eg) yacht
what is phonological dyslexia?
difficulties in reading non words, eg) tegwop
difficulties manipulating parts of sounds and words
which route is affected for surface dyslexia?
orthographic input lexicon
which route is affected for phonological dyslexia?
grapheme-phoneme rule system
who proposed the stage model for reading?
Frith, 1985
what is the stage model for reading composed of?
logographic
alphabetic
orthographic
