Correct Answer: SVR The Reading Rope identifies three major strands or subskills that contribute to printed word ____________; phonological awareness, decoding, and sight word recognition. Correct Answer: recognition _______________ awareness emphasizing the strong predictive relationship between phonemic awareness and learning to read an alphabetic writing system. Correct Answer: Phonological __________ is the ability to translate a word from print to speech, usually by employing knowledge of sound-symbol correspondences. Correct Answer: Decoding To know what the word actually says, the reader must look closely at all the letters and ______ them into sound and sense. Correct Answer: recode _________ ___________ ____________ is the goal of word study, or the point of learning to decode by phonics and to recognize orthographic patterns, is to develop automatic recognition of words. Correct Answer: Sight Word Recognition The term __________ refers to three different aspects; phoneme-grapheme correspondence, strategy for decoding new words, essential component of reading (one of the five pillars). Correct Answer: phonics Phonics instruction offers a critical _______________ for most students in the regular classroom and in intervention programs. Correct Answer: advantage Explicit, _____________, cumulative instruction that teaches students to decode graphemes and blend the corresponding phonemes and/or syllables received stronger suppor in high-level research than other types of instruction. Correct Answer: systematic Phonics may not be ______________ with a given student if that student's phonological awareness is seriously underdeveloped because phonemic awareness is the foundation for acquiring decoding skill. Correct Answer: effective Scope and sequence of phonics and word-reading skills determine lesson design and sequence, and type of reading practice. Is what feature of the reading program? Correct Answer: Organization Decodable; contains high proportion of pattern words that have been taught. Is what feature of the reading program? Correct Answer: Texts for Reading Phonemic awareness, explicit phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing; use of decodalbe text at K-1 level. Is what feature of the reading program? Correct Answer: Content About half the time spent on word work (phonological awareness, phonics, fluency in word recognition), the rest on language and oral reading in K-1. Is what feature of the reading program? Correct Answer: Instructional Time More teacher-led activities; teacher actively leads students through decoding activities and guided practice. Is what feature of the reading program? Correct Answer: Method/Teacher Role Students asked to look carefully at the word, sound it out, check and see if it makes sense. Is what feature of the reading program? Correct Answer: Corrective Feedback Skill building from sounds to words to sentences to text with high percentage of words that have been taught. Is what feature of the reading program? Correct Answer: Types of Practice Components of a ____________ ______________ Plan include; state goal and purpose, practice phonological awareness, review previous lesson, introduce new concept, provide guided practic, provide extended practic, practic dictation, connect to word meaning, read text. Correct Answer: Phonics Lesson About _____ percent of all words in English can be spelled accurately by sound-symbol correspondence rules. Correct Answer: 50 Another _____ precent can be spelled accurately except for one speech sound (usually a vowel). Correct Answer: 36 Only about ______ percent of words in print today are truly irregular and do not fit any pattern. Correct Answer: 4 Most letters in English spelling have more than one ____. Correct Answer: job A single consonant letter that represents a single consonant phoneme... Correct Answer: Single Letter A double letter that represents one phoneme... Correct Answer: Doublet A two-letter (di-) combination that stands for single phoneme in which neither letter represent its usual sound... Correct Answer: Digraph A three-letter (tri-) combination that represents one phoneme... Correct Answer: Trigraph Two or three graphemes, each one representing a phoneme. A blend is not one sound but two or three adjacent consonants before or after a vowel in a syllable... Correct Answer: Consonants in Blends A letter combination where one or more letters is silent (i.e., does not represent the phoneme) but another letter does represent the phoneme. Most of these are of Greek or Anglo-Saxon derivation... Correct Answer: Silent Letter Combinations The letter x is the only letter that stands for two phonemes, /k/ and /s/, and occasionally, /g/ and /z/. Correct Answer: Odd Letter X The two letters, always together in English, stand for two sounds, /k/ and /w/. They do not stand for one sound. Correct Answer: Combination qu When there is no consonant blend in a syllable, the syllabe is _________. Correct Answer: simple When there is a consonant blend in a syllable it is ________. Correct Answer: complex There are only two consonant ____________ -tch and -dge Correct Answer: trigraphs The consonant spellings x and qu are special cases. When x follows a _________, which is most of the time in English spelling, it represents two phonemes, /k/ -/s/ in a blend. Correct Answer: vowel A single letter vowel letter that stands for a vowel sound Correct Answer: Single Letter One of Ehri's most important points is that sight word learning - fast recognition of words - is _____________ by and correlated with phonic knowledge, or the ability to match phonemes and grapheme rapidly and accurately. Correct Answer: facilitated The most direct way to measure automatic recognition of real words is with graded lists, read under ________ and _________ conditions. Correct Answer: timed and untimed Students should be introduced to one new letter name every ______ or ________ days. Correct Answer: one or two During the first _____________ weeks of Kindergarten, the names of all the letters, uppercase and lowercase, should be direct taught through a combination of direct teaching and play-based experience with manipulatives. Correct Answer: 6-8 Knowledge of letter names and fluency of letter naming in Kindergarten are among the best __________ of later reading success. Correct Answer: predictors ______________ of letter naming include; beginning of orthographic processing;discrimination of confusable letters, clues of phoneme-grapheme matching, spelling (orally and silent) requires memory for letter names. Correct Answer: Advantages Early Kindergarten students need daily experiences with hands on _______________ such as alphabet puzzles; shapes for letter building, sand tracing, whipped cream, sandpaper or templates for matching wooden or plastic letter shapes. Correct Answer: manipulatives Before asking young children to hold a pencil and control it in a small space, teachers by writing large objects or _________ shapes. Correct Answer: tracing Young learners need __________ guidelines to learn differences between tall letters, short letters and letters below the baseline. Correct Answer: spatial When children learn to write individual letters, they are developing both _____________ (hand movement) and ________________ (letter recognition) skill. Correct Answer: graphomotor and orthographic Effective teaching for writing includes; ___________ descriptions and verbal coaching and showing model letters with numbered __________ indicating the sequence of strokes. Correct Answer: verbal; arrows These letters require a ________________ circle; a,c,o,d,g,q.

Correct Answer: goal Teachers should follow a ____________ to teach new correspondences explicitly. Correct Answer: routine It is __________________ to ask students to write lengthy compositions by hand before they have automatized good letter-formation habits. Correct Answer: counterproductive ___________________ procedures are best introduced in phonics lessons using simple CVC words (e.g., sun, mop, red) that do not have blends. Correct Answer: Blending Encourage students to begin to blend words silently or in a __________ before saying the whole word aloud. Correct Answer: whisper To reinforce the mental habit of using _________ ____________ skills, each lesson should provide practice reading between 15-30 words that have the sound-symbol correspondences that the students has been taught. Correct Answer: phonic decoding Sounds and graphemes must be processed to commit a word to _____________. Correct Answer: memory In a ________ sort, the teacher tells the students how to sort the words and procives the names of the categories. Closed sorts are more structure than open sorts and are excellent for guided practice of a concept that has been taught.
