Grapheme: written representation of a phoneme; /b/. (think: graphics)

 

Morpheme:  smallest unit of meaning (think "s" in books)

 

Phoneme: smallest unit of speech (/t/ in took changes to hook when a /h/ is replaced)

Definition
Term
Phonemic Awareness:  awareness of sounds that make up spoken words. provides some understanding that words are made up of sounds/phonemes.
Definition
Term

Blend: 2+ consonants that each retain their own sound/phoneme

 

Digraph: combo of 2 letters (consonants or vowels) representing a single speech sound

 

Dipthong: sound formed by combo of 2 vowels; sound begins as one vowel and moves toward another (coin)

Definition
Term

Cueing Systems:

 

*Semantics:  Does that word make sense?

 

*Syntax (syntactical/structural):  Does that word sound right in the sentence, grammatically?

 

*Grapho-phonemic (visual/letter-sound correspondence):  Sound it out!  Does it look like "sat" or "sitting"?

Definition
Term

Analytic/Deductive Phonics:  whole-to-part approach to word study.  1st teach sight words, then relevant phonic generalizations.

 

Synthetic Phonics:  part-to-whole approach to reading.  Word parts as sounds/syllables, and later combining them into words.

Definition
Term
Orthographic:  art/study of correct spelling according to established usage.
Definition

Reading Levels via Running Records

 

Independent: 95-100%

Instructional: 90-94%

Frustration: 89% or lower

Definition
Term

ă =short vowel sound (same as two dots above letter)

- = macron (long vowel)

(upside down 'e') = schwa (makes the "uh" sound)

Definition
Term

Phonogram:  graphic character that represents a phonetic sound/phoneme/word

 

Think: Sound=OY  Phonogram=oy,oi

Definition
Term
Explicit Instruction:  GRR (model, scaffold, release, feedback!)
Definition
Term

Phonics: this teaching stresses symbol-sound relationships (used most often in beginning instruction).  Also refers to correspondence of sounds to the letters representing themm.

 

Definition
Term

Phonic Analysis: the ID of words by their sounds

 

Structural/Morphemic Analysis:  the ID of word-meaning elements to help understand meaning of a word as a whole

Definition
Term

Morphology:  study of structure/forms of words (derivation, inflection, roots, combining forms)

 

Syntax:  study of the way sentences are formed/grammaticl rules that govern their function. Examines the various ways words can be combined to create meaning.

Stages of Spelling Development

1. Emergent spelling (3-5yo): some concepts of print/letter-sound correspondence, adjflkdjflk=eagle

2. Letter-Name Alphabetic spelling (6-8yo): D=dog, KE=cookie. Some CVCs, alphabetic principle, consonant blends/digraphs

3. W/in Word Pattern Spelling (7-9yo):long vowel, R-controlled, dipthongs, may confuse 'gril' for 'girl'/'mete' for meet, start learning about -dge/-tch

4. Syllables and Affixes Spelling (9-11yo): inflectional endings (-s,-ed, -ing), homophones, "drop the y and add -ies)

5. Derivational Relations Spelling (11-14yo): explore relationship btwn spelling and meaning (etymology), greek/latin roots, vowel alternations (please->pleasant)

Definition
Term

1. Precommunicative: use letters for spelling words, but are just "babble".  adlkfdlk=eagle

2. Semiphonetic: know letters represent sounds. E=eagle; A=eighty

3. Phonetic: spell words like they sound. EGL=eagle; ATE=eighty

4. Transitional: think about how words appear visually/has that visual memory of what words look like. exhibits conventions of English orthography. vowels in every syllable, e-marker, vowel digraph patterns, freq't English letter sequences. EGIL=eagle; EIGHTEE=eighty

5. Conventional: develops over years of word study and writing. Spelling can now be categorized by grade level words.

Definition
Term

Intonation - raising or lowering your voice to fit the text.

Ex. but when I do it, YOU get MAD!

 

Inflection - raising your voice when appropriate in text

Ex.  You there? vs You, there. (raised higher at end to show it is a question)
