• Intonation
Definition
o A change in voice, raising and falling of voice. Like: when someone asks a question
Term
• Chunking
Definition
o Appropriate text phrasing
the grouping of words in a sentence into short meaningful phrases (usually three to five words). This process prevents word-by-word reading, which can cause lack of comprehension, since students forget the beginning of a sentence before they get to the end

Definition
- listening and reading vocabulary
o decoding, take in

Term
• Expressive vocab (speaking and writing)
Definition
- speaking and writing
o encoding, put out
- Words you can listen to, read, use in speech can then be used in writing (most limited)
Term
• Difference between encoding and decoding.
Definition
- Decoding is the process of reading words in text. They need to know the sounds made by each letter and how they blend together to create words.
- Encoding is the process of using letter/sound knowledge to write. They need to recall sounds and the symbols assigned to them to write the letters together to form words.

o Construction-Integration Theory
Definition
When reader’s comprehend a text, it becomes a part of their schema
• Schema can then be accessed to understand future texts.
The surface code, or written words, only stays in the iconic memory for a short period of time.
• It must move through our short-term or working memory to then be processed into memory with more information and creates a “text base”
Term
situation model
Definition
Once text-base is formed & in long-term memory, begins to integrate details using this. The reader’s knowledge, goals/motivation to read, Strategy selected to understand text, ability to function in sociocultural context in which text is being read, genre of reading, processing of constraints of reader’s memory effect understanding. 2 phases occur when reader encounters these clauses: Construction phase and integration phase.
Term
Construction phase of situation model
Definition
• Prior knowledge activated
• Retrieval of word meanings
• Examining the surface and grammatical structure of the printed text
Term
Integration phase of situation model
Definition
• Ideas from the text are strongly interconnected with prior knowledge and strengthened
• Ideas that don’t associate with prior knowledge are deactivated and deleted from our memory
Term
running records: meaning cues
Definition
Semantic cues- Does it make sense?

Student uses meaning clues to try to make sense of the unknown word. Context, picture, and information could be used.
Term
running records: syntax cues

Term
consonant clusters
Definition
Sometimes sounds blend together as is the case with consonant blends.
