Q

What are the reoccurring spelling errors of many learners?

A

dealing with the alphabetic matching of letters and sounds, errors dealing with letter patterns, and errors dealing with words related in meaning

24
Q

students in this stage can read and spell many words correctly because of their automatic knowledge of letter sounds and short-vowel patterns; this stage typically starts as students transition to independent reading at the end of 1st grade; think about words in more than one dimension; move away from the linear, sound-by-sound approach of the letter name spellers; 6-9 years

A

25
Q

most difficult patterns because the sound is neither long nor short and the same pattern may represent different sounds

A

ambiguous vowels

26
Q

sound the same but have different spellings and meanings

A

homophones

27
Q

this stage typically is achieved in middle to upper elem school, when students are expected to spell many words of more than one syllable; 8-12 years

A

Syllables and Affixes stage

28
Q

T/F Final syllables often give students difficulty because the vowel sound is not clear and may be spelled different ways

A

True

29
Q

in this stage, students examine how many words may be derived from base words and word roots; builds on and expands vocabulary; as early as 4th grade but more common in middle, high, and college

A

Derivational Relations stage

30
Q

a study is known as this because as students explore and learn about the word formation processes of English they are able to generate knowledge of thousands of words

A

generative

31
Q

T/F Word study addresses learning needs in all areas of literacy because development in one area relates to development in all other areas

A

True

32
Q

Relation to each area in development and the harmony of timing is defined as…

A

synchrony

33
Q

smallest unit of a sound in language

A

phoneme

34
Q

letter(s) used to represent a phoneme

A

grapheme

35
Q

during what stage do students lack an understanding of the alphabetic principle or show only the beginning of this understanding as they start to learn some letters; memorize words not read; fingerpoint read

A

emergent

36
Q

these readers have moved from pretend reading to the beginning of real reading as they start to use systematic letter-sound matches to identify and store words in memory

A

beginning readers

37
Q

a child’s ability to point accurately to a few lines of familiar text; corresponding what one reads and says

A

concept of word in text

38
Q

students in this reading stage become fluent because it is supported by a store of words that can be identified automatically “at first sight”; these students integrate more knowledge and skills acquired in the previous two stages and are more flexible with thinking about sounds, patterns, and meanings; writing and reading speeds increase significantly

A

transitional readers

39
Q

readers with automatic word recognition, leaving their minds free to think as rapidly as they can read; vocab is a central role in the connections between their reading and writing

A

intermediate and advanced readers

40
Q

T/F Speech operates like writing

A

False; speech has been around longer and is less permanent

41
Q

a single element of meaning that has a specific function

A

word

42
Q

word or word part with at least one vowel, made with one push of breath

A

syllable

43
Q

consonant sounds that come before a vowel in a syllable

A

onset

44
Q

the part of the word with the vowel and all that comes the start of a syllable

A

rime

45
Q

to translate graphemes into spoken word

A

decode

46
Q

take spoken words and put them into written form

A

encode

47
Q

these letter sounds are made by closing off or partially constricting the flow of air through the vocal tract. with them we tend to close our mouths

A

consonants; vowels you open your mouth

48
Q

two consonant letters that are adjacent that produce a new or unique speech sound; make unique sounds

A

digraphs

49
Q

groups of consonants pronounced quickly with each consonant retaining its own sound

A

consonant blend/cluster

50
Q

T/F each long vowel has several variations

A

T

51
Q

in these sound changes quality in the middle of the sound

A

dipthongs

52
Q

vowels that are not short, long, or r-controlled

A

other vowels

53
Q

vowel sound along with an r, seals the “vowelness” of a sound

A

R-controlled

54
Q

multiple word parts that convey meaning

A

multiple morphemes

55
Q

first morphemic layer, words

A

free morphemes

56
Q

two types of free morphemes

A

content words and function words

57
Q

word parts added to free morphemes to communicate some level of meaning

A

bound morphemes

58
Q

these affect the meaning of a word through their additions

A

prefixes

59

hold the main meaning of the word
