| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| dissect a word into each phoneme and put it back to recreate the word, as well as understanding that sounds together create syllables and words | Phonemic awareness |
| able to identify and separate words within a sentence, identify stress in individual words, and identify intonation patterns. Includes ability to segment words into smaller units and recognize and manipulate components of sound system in language | Phonological awareness |
| 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 |
| ability to understand words and alter meaning, ex: PREsent and preSENT | Word stress |
| describes the pitch contour of a phrase or sentence that changes the meaning, ex How ARE you? and How are YOU? | Intonation Patterns |
| ability to connect letters with sounds, and to create words based on these association. (pre, partial, full and consolidated) | Alphabetic principle |
| writing system where words, ideas, and concepts are represented with visual or image | Pictograhic |
| writing system where syllables are depicted through the use of unique symbols | Syllabic |
| writing system uses the sounds of the language as a basic unit for writing | Alphabetic |

| number of phonemes in the English language (sound) | 44 |
| two or more letters representing one sound, ex ch, kn, wr, ght | Digraph |
| 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 |
| strategy used to assess listening and reading comprehension, sentence structure knowledge, vocabulary, speaking ability, and knowledge about the structure of the story | Story retelling |
| 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 |
| make direct connections between vocabulary being learned and words they may have seen, heard, or learned | Semantic mapping |
| book level at which a student reads 95% of the words correctly | Independent reading level |
| book level at which a student reads 90-94% of the words correctly (child can perform satisfactorily with help from the teacher) | Instructional reading level |
| 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 |
| words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. ex: eight/ate or blew/blue | Homophones |
| words that are spelled the same way but have more than one pronunciation and different meanings, ex: bow and present | Homographs |

| provides students with a word list by category (noun, verb, adjective) and guides children to produce sentences using each component | Sentence builders |
| 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 |
