ability to conceptualize and separate words into their basic pronunciation components | Syllabication |
basic unit | Phonemes |
taught through rhymes and poems to introduce rhythmic patterns | Phonemic stress |
emphasize phonemes using successive words beginning with the same consonant sound or letter. Tongue twisters are the best known form | Alliteration |

readers understands that print contains meaningful information, they can imitate the reading process, and they possess some degree of phonemic awareness | Emergent |
reader have mastered readiness skills and are beginning to read with some degree of success | Early |
reader with relative fluency and comprehension; they use several cuing systems to obtain meaning and can self monitor their reading, identifying and correcting simple errors | Newly fluent |
simply observing students at work, collecting meaningful information about what student can and cannot do | Informal assessment |
assessment to gauge accuracy and fluency in oral reading. Teacher mark errors as they listen to a student read the text | Running record |
teacher made tests, district exams, and standardized test | Formal assessment |
evaluation occurs during the process of learning when it is still possible to modify instructions | Formative assessment |
evaluation occurs at the end of a specific time or course of study. Applies to single grade or score to represent a students performance | Summative assessment |
teacher attempts to measure each student against uniform objectives or criteria | Criterion referenced assessment |
test compares the performance of a group of students. It is competitive because a limited number of students can score well | Norm referenced assessment |
assess how well students perform certain tasks. The use high level thinking to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate ideas and data | Performance bases assessment |
include projects, anecdotal records, portfolios, checklists, as well as self and peer assessments | Authentic assessment |
checklist for grading with assigned point values | Rubric |

guide children to link current knowledge to new knowledge | Questioning |
develop comprehension where students in small groups practice summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting | Reciprocal teaching |
question where only one answer is correct | Convergent questions |
question where more than one answer is correct | Divergent questions |
questions that are easily answered and can be easily located within the text | Literal questions |
questions where students must draw conclusions. ex: about a feeling, a new idea, or reading between the lines | Inferential questions |
creative questions that extend beyond the text , ex: What does that mean for us? or What would you have done if you were? | Applied question |
must supply omitted words within a passage. If assessing an understanding of meaning is the intent of the exercise, then the teacher might accept synonyms | Cloze questions |

book level at which the student reads 89% or fewer of the words correctly | Frustrated reading level |
clues that require a child to think about the meaning of words and what is already known about the topic being read | Semantic |
clues involving word order, illustrations, and context | Syntactic |
clues requiring the reader to pay attention to letter groups occurring frequently within words, ex: bio = life, geo =land | Structural |
words that have the same sound and spelling but differ in meaning, ex: club, fine, bank | Homoyms |

spelling resulting in non standard writing where beginning writers connect sounds and letters to create words | Invented |
children begin noticing visual cues and develop a knowledge of word structure. Sight word training is important, and students attempt self correction | Transitional |
describes when spelling become standard, but students may still have problems with digraphs, homonyms, and contraction | Conventional |
