Teaching Reading Elementary 5205 Flashcards
Phonological awareness is
An overarching skill that includes identifying and manipulating units of oral language including parts of words syllables onsets and rimes
2 important sub skills of phonological awareness
Phonemic awareness and
Phonics/graphophonic
Phonemic awareness is
Understanding the individual sounds in words
Phonics is
Understanding the relationship between sounds and the spelling patterns representing those sounds
Why is it important for teachers to focus on students’ phonological awareness during emergent reading development?
Understanding how the smallest unit in words function is necessary for spelling and reading development
Which Focuses on phonemes:
Phonemic awareness or phonics?
Phonemic awareness
Which focuses on spoken language: Phonemic awareness or phonics?
Phonemic awareness
Phonemic awareness of phonics?
Mostly auditory
Phonemic awareness
Phonemic awareness or phonics?
Works on Manipulating sounds in words
Phonemic awareness
Phonemic awareness or phonics?
Focus on graphemes or letters and their corresponding sounds
Phonics
Phonemic awareness or phonics?
Written language/print
Phonics
Phonemic awareness or phonics?
Both visual and auditory
Phonics
Phonemic awareness or phonics?
Reading and writing letters according to sounds, spelling, patterns, and phonological structure
Phonics
Examples of inflected forms
-s, -es, -ed, -ing, -ly
Examples of consonant blends
Bl, gr, sp
Examples of consonant digraphs
Sh, th, ch
Examples of Vowel pairs
Oo, ew, oi, oy
Blending is
Putting all the sounds in the words together in /p/a/t/ vs /pat/
Onsets are
Beginning consonant and consonant cluster
The six main levels of phonemic awareness are
Phonemic isolation, blending, segmenting, addition, deletion, and substitution
Phonemic isolation is
When students here and separate out individual sounds in words
Blending is
When students can combine sounds in a word: /c/a/t/ becomes cat
Segmenting is
When students can divide the word into individual sounds. Also count/identify how many sounds in a word: three sounds in mat
Addition is
When students can manipulate a word by adding a sound that is not originally in the word: start with the word pay and add /l/ sound after the/p/to make the word play
Deletion is
When students manipulate the word by deleting, sounds to make a new word: start with the word same delete /s/ to make aim
Substitution
The highest level of phonemic awareness. They switch the sounds with other sounds
The six main levels phonological awareness are..
Rhyme, alliteration, sentence, segmentation, syllable, segmentation, onset and rime blending and segmenting, phoneme manipulation
Rhyme is
When students can match ending, sounds of words
Alliteration is
When students can I identify and produce words with the same initial sound
Sentence segmentation is
When students can segment sentences and into words as in He- went-to – the– beach.
Syllable segmentation is
When students can blend in segment syllables of spoken words
Onset and rhyme blending and segmenting is
When students can bland or segment the onset, consonant or consonant cluster in the rhyme, vowel and consonant, sounds following the rhyme as in TR – – ACK, b– – AT, SL – – EEP
Phoneme manipulation is
When students can manipulate, sounds in words
Phoneme manipulation includes the following skills:
Blend segment individual phone names add and delete individual phone names and substitute phone names to create new words
Implicit instruction on phonemic awareness is also known as
The whole language approach
Phonological processing is
When students use phone names to process spoken and written language
