Yellow Book Language Arts/reading Flashcards
Phonological system
approximately 44 speech sounds that make up the English language
Linguistic System of Spoken Language
Phonological
Syntactic
Semantic
Pragmatic
Phonemes
smallest unit of sound (smaller than a syllable)
Grapheme
written form of a phoneme. can be a single letter or more that one letter
Morpheme
smallest meaningful unit of A word example adding a (s)
Syntactic
combining words to make sentences
semantic
system of meaning
Pragmatic system
social aspects of language use
age 1
experiments with sounds
1 to2
can pronounce 36 morphemes and use 20- 50 words around 18 months
3 to 4
speaking 1000 words and under stands 3000 words
pronunciation of /b/, /m/, /v/ /p/, and /h/ sounds
4 to 5
pronunciation of /d/, /t/, /n/, /g/, /k/, /ng/, and /y/ sounds
5 to 6
pronunciation of /f/, /sh/, /za/, and /l/ sounds
7 to 8
pronunciation of /s/, /w/, /r/, /th/, and /wh/ sounds
8
pronunciation of all sounds and usually can be understood
Readers Theater
practices oral fluency
Choral reading
read aloud together (helps less fluent student learn expression)
Puppets
help with shy children, ELL and special needs
Debate
is higher order thinking skill
Know for test LEA (language Experience Approach)
Is an activity that directly connects oral language to written language
Language Experience Approach
LEA Procedure
- Discuss interesting class experience- teacher asks open-ended question
- Write exactly what the children say-accept run-on sentences and sentences that are not grammatical correct
- Make sure children are able to see what is being written
Use Direct Listening/Thinking Activity (DLTA) are ways to improve listening
rationale for this activity is that by setting a purpose for listening before, during, and after reading.
First, teacher ask student to make prediction
Second, teacher reads several pages aloud together
Third, teacher summarizes and elicits additional prediction
Types of listening skills task
- Listening for information- note taking
- Listening for appreciation-music or poems or being read aloud
- Listening Critically-to evaluate it-note taking, summarize or asking question
On every test
Phonological Awareness
Is the Big picture
- includes manipulation and identifying larger parts of oral language such as words and syllables
- best activities are clapping syllables of familiar words or tapping
On every test
Phonemic Awareness
is a subset of phonological awareness with a much more narrow focus-that of identifying and manipulating the individual sounds spoken words
-best activities are oral rhyming games
onset
is the part of a syllable that precedes the vowel of the syllable (first letter or sound)
Rime
is the part of a syllable that contains the vowel and all that follows it
Phonemic Awareness Order
First reading is a pre-reader’s knowledge of upper and lower case letters (words)
Second pre-reader’s ability to discriminate phonemes auditorally (syllables)
Third, Identify rhyme orally
Fourth, Identity phonemes orally
Last skill teacher should expect the student to master is
Phonemic deletion
Tip for teaching Phonemic Awareness
Oral activities
only teach one or two types of phoneme manipulation are being taught
teachers should read and re-read multi types (poems, rhyming and pattern books) providing multiple opportunities for children to experiment
Phonemic segmentation test
to find out whether children can break a one syllable work into its component phonemes
(formal assessment)
invented spelling
one indication of his/her level of phonemic awareness
informal assessment
4 to 6 question on the test
Alphabetic Principle
Understanding the relationship between printed letters and spoken sounds (putting sounds to letters)
Phonological and phonemic awareness and letter/sounds relationships appear to be the most important factor in
successful early reading
Decoding should be taught to a student at the stage of
reading development
Chunking larger words into syllables can help students independently
decode multi syllable words
Encode
is writing
-going from sound to print
Decode
is reading
-using letter/sound correspondences to recognize words
Letter sound association
what is the sound that a letter makes?
Sound blending
When we blend the sounds of letters, what word is made?
Segmenting
What sounds do you hear in this word?
Continuous Sounds
-stretched out
Example /mmmmaaannnn/
Stop Sound
is short
example the /t/ in mat is a stop sound
Decoding teaches simple to complex
singled to closed syllables
letter correspondence by the end of kindergarten and the end of first grade
Kindergarten-identify and says the most common sound associated with the letter
First grade Produces sounds of all individual letter and correspond frequently used letter combination (ch,sh, th,)
Decoding by the end of kindergarten and first grade
Kindergarten-blends sounds of individual letter to read one syllable word
First grade-decodes words with consonant blends and letter combination digraphs and uses letter sounds correspondence to read one-syllable words (play, fish)
Instructional strategies that are used to develop phonemic awareness may also used to develop alphabetic principle
read aloud alphabet books
use magnetic letter that can be arranged to make words
alphabet cards with picture of familiar objects
Multi-sensory approach uses
visual, kinesthetic, auditory, and tactile (fingers)
Invented spelling
is one indication of children level of understanding the alphabetic principle
Stages of literacy development with example
Early emergent literacy-preschool-curiosity about print
Emergent Literacy-K1st-understanding of concepts about print
Beginning reading and writing-1st-3rd-fluent reading/decoding
Almost Fluent Reading and writing-2nd-5th-increased ability to read silently and for longer time
Fluent Reading and writing-4th to 12th
Point of view
is the perspective from which the events in a story are perceived.
Blooms
Stories in first person
tells the story through a character’s voice
Stories in third person
author describes the action as happening to someone else
Changing Perceptive
Higher order of thinking skills Blooms
asking children to examine a story from alternate perspectives or point of view
Fiction
is a type of imaginative narrative intended to entertain (where the wild things are)
Fable
short story that teaches a moral (the lion and the mouse)
Fairytale
is a folk story about real life problems (cinderella)
Folktale
is a narrative that retold with a culture for generations Johnny apple seed
Tall tale
story about impossible or exaggerated happening told in a realistic humorous way
Paul Bunyan and babe
Non fiction
intended to explain, argue, or describe. Primary purpose is to inform
Environmental print
is print or graphic symbols(road signs)
Early emergent literacy stage uses this
it is contextualized written language
Communicate through print to teach
print carries meaning
this can be done with morning messages
Concepts of print
those emergent literacy skill involved in identifying how the written form of language is read
Directionality
print is read left to right
top of page to bottom
book are read front to back
Big books
are over sized book read to children
language experience approach allows children to see that print is “talk written down”
that spoken words can be written
Language Experience Story
The teacher writes down EXACT words and then leads them to understand that what has been written is what they have said
What is an author’s purpose?
Inform
Entertain
Persuade
Convey Emotion
know for test
stages in developing word analysis skills
Stage1-pre-abphabetic-mcdonald’s sign
Stage2-Partial Alphabetic-associate letters with sounds
Stage 3-Full Alphabetic-read words using letter-sound relationships
Stage 4-Consolidated Alphabetic predict letter patterns ed, ing,est
Stage 5-Automatice alphabetic-automatically identify most words by sight
