Graphemes --ANSWER- A letter or letter combination that spells a phoneme; can be one, two, three, or four letters in English (e.g., e, ei, igh, eigh). Scarborough's Reading Ropes identify 3 major strands or sub skills that contribute to printed word recognition. What are they? --ANSWERPhonological awareness, decoding, and word recognition Orthography --ANSWER- A writing system for representing language. True --ANSWER- To know what the word actually says, the reader must look closely at all the letter sounds and recode them into sound and sense What is word study? --ANSWER- The point of learning to decode by Phil's and to recognize orthographic patterns What is the goal of word study? --ANSWER- To develop automatic recognition of words we've seen before and recall word spellings for writing. Example: word specific knowledge like bare and bear and your, you're. irregular words --ANSWER- A word whose spelling or pronunciation does not conform to the system of sound-symbol correspondences or syllable patterns Explain the 4 part processing model --ANSWER- Context to meaning, meant to phonological and orthographic When students' abilities to read real words are tested with lists, using a timer, the ___________________________strand of the Reading Rope is being assessed --ANSWER- Sight recognition True or false: the letter x is the only letter that stands for two phonemes, /k/ and so/ and occasionally /g/ and /z/. --ANSWER- True What is a blend? --ANSWER- A blend is not one sound but 2 or 3 adjacent consonants before before or after a vowel in a syllable.

What is the purpose of a word chain --ANSWER- To give students practice recognizing subtle differences between and among similar sounding words example: shin, thin, thimble, shim, sham, mam, mash, math. (Tell students when a "word is a nonsense word) What are the types of word sorts? --ANSWER- Open and closed What is the difference in open and closed sorts? --ANSWER- In a closed sort, the teacher tells the students how to sort the words and provides the names of the categories. Open sorts are open-ended and therefore more difficult then closed sorts. What is the purpose of decodable text? --ANSWER- Decodable text serves the specific purpose or providing ample practice using and reading words with the phonic elements that have been taught decodable text --ANSWER- Beginner-oriented books that contain the same letters or word patterns currently being studied, or those previously taught. High frequency words --ANSWER- Words that occur most often in English writing. Teachers who take a code-emphasis approach to instruction generally do not discuss the meanings of words being taught. --ANSWER- False The ability to decode a new, previously unknown printed word, in or out of context, depends on --ANSWER- knowledge of phoneme-grapheme correspondences and the ability to blend phonemes and graphemes quickly. The term phonics may be used to refer to --ANSWER- the system of phonemegrapheme correspondences that are the basis for an alphabetic orthography, an essential component of effective reading instruction and a strategy for decoding new words and storing them in orthographic memory. Which of the following are typical of meaning-emphasis approaches to instruction? --ANSWER- emphasis on reading leveled texts individually and use of context (such as illustrations) to read words in texts Which of the following is typically done as an extended practice activity in phonics lessons? --ANSWER- timed reading of learned words Regularly spelled words --ANSWER- three, day, bird, goose, mouse, maybe, go, have Irregularly spelled words --ANSWER- yacht, love, father, you Why is the letter "x" referred to as an odd letter? --ANSWER- Letter "x" can represent two phonemes.
