| phonics | the method for teaching children how to read and write by demonstrating the relationship between the sounds of the spoken language, and the letters or groups of letters or syllables of the written language. PHONICS IS ESSENTIALLY SPELLING |
| homophones | words that are pronounced the same but differ in meaning. Might differ in spelling too. Examples - hear and here, cell and sell, flour and flower |
| homonyms | words that have identical spelling and pronunciation but have different meanings. Example - bark (outside covering of a tree and the sound a dog makes), mean (the average and not being very nice) |
| morphology | used when students decode words; using pieces of a word to sound out the word and figure out the meaning of the word |
| sight words | high frequency words that students must have automatic knowledge of. Must be memorized. Example - said, why, want |
| compound words | 2 words put together (mailman) |
| root words | the basic part of the word. It stands alone in meaning. Example - root of "unbelievable" is "believe" |
| prefix | additions to root words that help to form a new word with another meaning. Comes at the BEGINNING of the word |
| suffix | additions to root words that form a new word. Comes at the END of the word |
| Cognitive cueing systems (different methods to decode words) | semantic cues (meaning), syntactic cues (structure/grammar), graphophonic cues (spelling) |
| semantic cues | refers to the meaning in language that assists in comprehending texts including words, speech, signs. Involves the learner's prior knowledge. |
| syntactic cues | involve the structure of the word as in the rules and patterns of language (GRAMMAR) and punctuation. |

| fluency checks are also called _____ | running records |
| fluency checks include... | prosody, automaticity, accuracy, and rate |
| prosody | timing, phrasing, emphasis, and intonation. Includes stopping at periods, pausing at commas, reading with inflection, and reading with expression. |
| automaticity | fast, effortless word recognition. Students have this when they read at >95% accuracy |
| accuracy | amount of words a student reads correctly. |
| rate | the speed at which students read words correctly expressed asd words per min (wpm) |
| independent reading means | a student is reading with >95% accuracy |
