Week 4 - Development of Reading & Math Flashcards
What is phonological awareness?
It involves recognizing and manipulating the sounds of spoken language, such as syllables, onsets, rimes, and phonemes.
What is the importance of syllable awareness in phonological development?
It helps children understand the structure of words and improves their reading skills by breaking down words into smaller parts.
Describe the ‘tapping task’ for syllable awareness.
hildren tap for each syllable in a word, helping them to count and identify syllables.
What is the ‘oddity task’ in onset and rime awareness?
It involves selecting the word that does not share the same beginning or ending sound as the others.
How does phoneme awareness contribute to reading skills?
It involves recognizing individual sounds in words, which is crucial for decoding and spelling.
What is orthographic transparency?
It refers to the consistency of letter-sound relationships in a language.
What does the EU study on word and nonword reading reveal?
It shows differences in letter-sound recoding abilities across European countries during the first year of schooling.
How do cross-cultural differences impact phoneme counting tasks?
The performance on phoneme counting tasks varies significantly between different languages and cultures.
What is the significance of phonological awareness intervention studies?
They test the causal relationship between early phonological awareness and later reading and spelling abilities.
What are the main components of dyslexia treatment protocols?
They include sound/sign link, phonemic awareness, time-controlled visual word recognition, systematic repetition, linking written language to spoken language, accuracy and pace of reading, and visualizing sounds.
Define ‘number sense’ and its importance.
Number sense is the intuitive understanding of numbers and their relationships, which is essential for mathematical reasoning and problem-solving.
What is the triple code model in mathematics?
It describes three different representations of numbers: visual, auditory, and semantic.
What are the core principles underlying counting?
These principles include one-to-one correspondence, stable order, cardinality, abstraction, and order irrelevance.
What is dyscalculia?
A learning difficulty that affects a person’s ability to understand and work with numbers.
How does number line games help in learning to count?
They provide a visual and interactive way to understand numerical sequences and relationships.
