LTCY Midterm
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Activities that Build Phonemic Awareness | 1. Sound Matching 2. Sound Isolation 3. Sound Blending 4. Sound Addition and Substitution 5. Sound Segmentation |
| Sound Matching | Students choose one of several words beginning with a particular sound or say a word that begins with a particular sound Ex. rhyming words, wordplay |
| Phonemic Awareness | A student's basic understanding that speech is composed of series of individual SOUNDS. It provides the foundation for phonics and spelling. It can also be defined as a students' ability to break words apart and reassemble them. |
| Sound Isolation | Teachers say a word and then students identify the sounds at the beginning, middle, or end of the word. Or teachers might have students isolate sounds as they sing familiar songs. |
| Sound Blending | Students blend sounds to combine them and form a word. |
| Sound Addition and Substitution | Students play with words and create nonsense words as they add or substitute sounds in words. Ex. Jimmy-Shimmy, Jose-Shose, clock-shock |
| Sound Segmentation | Students isolate the sounds in spoken words. Ex. This is a truck and it starts with /t/ |
| Phonics | The set of relationships between phonology (the sounds in speech) and orthography (the spellying system.) There is an emphasis on spelling patterns, not individual letters. It explains the relationship between phonemes and graphemes. |
| Explicit/Systematic Phonics | The plan of instruction includes a carefully selected set of letter-sound relationships that are organized into a logical sequence. Teacher is proactive and direct instead of waiting for a problem to arise. Goes from simple skills to more complex. |
| Onset-Rime | The division for one-syllable words or for syllables in longer words. |
| Rime | The vowel and any consonant sounds that follow the onset. Ex. -ack in "black" at, up have no onset, the whole words are rimes |
| Onset | The consonant sound, if any, that precedes the vowel. Ex. St, sl, b Words: “stack,” “slack,” “back” |
| Alphabetic Principle | When students understand that the sounds they hear in oral language are represented by letters in print. Consists of phonological awareness, phonics, and orthographic awareness. |
| Phoneme | the very smallest units of sounds in spoken language |
| 4 Cueing Systems | 1. Semantic 2. Syntactic 3. Graphophonic/Phonological 4. Pragmatic |
| Semantic System | Making meaning of words. Key component = vocabulary |
| Syntactic System | Structural organization of English. Consists of grammar rules, punctuation, word order. |
| Graphophonic/Phonological System | Foundations for decoding and spelling. Focuses on the sound systems and how phonemes are represented as graphemes. Consists of 44 phonemes and 26 graphemes. |
| Pragmatic System | The social and cultural context of language. Includes the specific purposes/audience. |
| Consonant Digraph | Letter combinations representing single sounds that aren’t represented by either letter. "ch" as in chair, "sh" as in wish, "th" as in father, "wh" as in whale, "ph" as in photo |
| Consonant Blend | Occurs when 2 or 3 consonants appear next to each other in words and their individual sounds are “blended” together. Ex. grass, belt, spring |
| Shwa | Unstressed syllable (can be any vowel.) Teaching this concept helps students to connect oral language to what they read. Ex. About, bAnana, itEm, AnOther |
| Diphthong | When two vowels represent a glide from one sound to another. Sound wall: "oy," "oi," "oo," "au," "ou" |
| R-Controlled Vowel | When one or more vowels in a words are followed by an "r." Ex. award, never, horse, surf, board, bear, early, pear, courage, flour, work "ar," "ir," "or," "er," "ur" |
| Affix | A morpheme that is attached to a word stem to form a new word or word form. |
| Suffix | Affix added to the end of a word. |
| Prefix | Affix that is added to the beginning of a word. |
| CVC | When a one-syllable word has one vowel and the vowel comes between two consonants, it’s usually short. Ex. bat, land, cup |
| CVCe | When there are 2 vowels in a one-syllable word and one vowel is an e at the end of the word, the first vowel is long and the final e is silent. Ex. came, hole, pipe |
| Syllable | The largest units of sound within words. Make sure that they can hear sound breaks. |
| Triple Consonant Blend | Occurs when 3 consonants appear next to each other in words and their individual sounds are “blended”together. Ex. scr- scrap, screw, scrub Ex. spl- splat, split |
