WTW and LLFW Ch 1 Flashcards
What are the parts of the literacy braid?
Starts with oral language and stories then moves to the writing thread with a mix of vocab reading and spelling
Another word for spelling; the ways in which letters and letter patterns in words represent sound and meaning
orthography
In the 70s, who researched “invented spelling”
Charles Read and Carol Chomsky
Who studied the development of children’s spelling and also made an instructional model to support the development?
Edmund Henderson
What are the reoccurring spelling errors of many learners?
dealing with the alphabetic matching of letters and sounds, errors dealing with letter patterns, and errors dealing with words related in meaning
What are the three layers of English orthography in historical evolution of English spelling and developmental progression?
Alphabet, Pattern, Meaning
represents the relationship between letters and sounds; first layer of information at work
Alphabetic; Alphabetic Layer
What vowel sounds are problematic for novice spellers because there is no single letter that “says” the sound
Short vowel sounds
This layer overlies the alphabetic layer and guides the groupings of letters with some surprising consistency.
Pattern Layer
T/F Single sounds are sometimes spelled with more than one letter or are affected by other letters that do not stand for any sounds themselves
True
indicates that the preceding vowel letter stands for a long vowel sound
vowel marker
the last layer of the English orthography; students learn that groups of letters can represent meaning directly; includes group of prefixes, suffixes, and roots
meaning layer
the smallest units of meaning in a language (e.g. prefixes, suffixes)
morphemes
oldest words in the English language, easiest to read and the most familiar
Anglo-Saxon
T/F word knowledge accumulates as students develop orthographic understandings at the alphabetic, pattern, and meaning levels
True
T/F Word study is a one-size-fits-all program where instruction starts at the same place for everyone
False
powerful determinant of what may be learned
instructional level
gives students the chance to build on what they already know, to learn what they need to know to move on. first described by Vygotsky as the span between what the learner knows and can do independently and what they need help with
zone of proximal development (ZPD)
This stage encompasses the writing efforts of those that are not yet reading conventionally and have not been exposed to formal reading instruction. 2-5 year old
Emergent stage
little if any direct relationship between a character on the page and an individual speech sound
prephonetic
letters represent sounds in a systematic way, and words can be segmented into sequences of sound from left to right; moves form emergent stage to the next
alphabetic principle
encompasses that period during which students are first formally taught to read, typically during kinder and early first grade. 4-7 years
Letter Name-Alphabetic stage
students’ dominant approach to spelling
“letter names”
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
Within Word Pattern stage
