FTCE - K-6 - ELA

The first developmental phase in reading is

Emergent

Emergent readers can

hear individual sounds, use illustrations to extract meaning, read WITH POINTING to individual words, recognize letters in their own name

best instructional strategy for developing concepts of print

shared reading

when students are breaking down word parts to better understand the meaning they are using

structural analysis

figurative language examples

simile, idiom, onomatopoeia

when a student has awareness of phonemes in words, syllables, onset-rime segments, and spelling they are demonstrating

phonological awareness

appropriate written language skill for students to master by the end of third grade

provide concluding statement or section, provide reasons that support an opinion, develop a topic with facts, definitions, and details

important components of fluency

use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding, read on-level text with purpose and understanding, orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression

effective in building fluency and confidence

choral reading

During modeled writing activity, the students are primarily:

listening and watching

appropriate assessment method to guide instruction for fluency issues

informal reading inventory

repeated reading positively influences this reading skill

fluency

most appropriate use of anecdotal notes

as an objective record of student behavior and or learning to guide classroom practices

Phonemic Awareness

pronounce individual word sounds

best practice for vocabulary instruction

model using context clues, teaching prefixes, suffixes, and roots, use word walls for target vocabulary

to develop phonics skills, students must have

decoding skills and graphophonemic knowledge

appropriate use of diagnostic assessment

to determine areas of strength and weakness

difference between fixed poetic form and free verse poetry

fixed serves as a template for composing a poem while free has no pre-established guidelines

a convention of epic poetry

lengthy narrative about a serious or worthy traditional subject, diction is formal and dignified and maintains an objective tone, the action contains supernatural feats of strength or military prowess

first four stages of writing

scribbling, wavy scribble, mock letters, conventional letters

conventional letters stage of writing

letters are from child's name, not always conscious they are making conventional letters, and often create strings of letters across a page

phonetic spelling

beginning sounds used first, ending sounds second, followed by middle sounds and vowel sounds

emergent writing

mock/wavy scribble, mock letters, conventional letters, and invented spelling

reading response journal

requires use of background knowledge to construct personal meaning, increases comprehension as students integrate new experiences with past ones, increases ability to communicate and refine ideas

the mode of writing that tells story using sequenced events and descriptive details

narrative

characteristics of a fable

anthropomorphized inanimate objects, exaggerated version of historical events, contains a moral message. Does not have mythical creatures.

5 stages to legible handwriting

letter formation, letter spacing, letter alignment, letter size, and letter slant

appropriate strategy to use when looking for READER REPONSE to literature

literature circles, think-pair-share, journals

writing that uses sensory details is

descriptive

benefits of workshop approach in classroom

allows adequate time for student practice, teacher to remediate with small group, and provides differentiated learning opportunities

Classroom structures should include ____________ to allow for multiple speaking and listening opportunities.

whole group lessons combines with small group lessons

when students are asked to use facts and data in their essay in order to inform the readers they are engaging in __________ writing

explanatory/expository

which cooperative grouping strategy requires a student to become an expert on a topic and then share the information with peers

jigsaw

main purpose of formative assessments

to drive instruction

example of a onset-rime segmentation

d-og

when a teacher ask students to make a prediction about a text, he or she is fostering the students

comprehension

characteristics of successful technology in the classroom

easily accessible, routinely used, supports curricular goals

When the goal is enhanced information and media literacy, which is not a consideration?

who is the main character

Metaphor

is applying a word or phrase to an individual thing. Example: Juliet is the sun.

Haiku

3 unrhymed lines (5, 7, 5) usually focusing on nature

fixed poetic

serves as a template for composing a poem

free verse poem

poem that has no pre-established guidelines

During a __________ activity students are __________ and ______

modeled writing, listening and watching

phonological awareness

the students are demonstrating phonemes in words, syllables, onset-rhymes, and spelling

Differentiated Instruction

is providing students with multiple ways to learn in the same classroom.

Accommodations and Modifications

reduce the effects of learning disability without deceasing learning expectations

Structural analysis

breaking down word parts

example: compound words

independent computer based learning

is NOT a characteristic of successfully integrating technology

The workshop approach

does NOT allow students to learn skills independently

Pre-alphabetic phase

allows students to read words by memorizing visual features

etymology

the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history. Example: prescription, transcript, manuscript

The best tool for WHOLE GROUP instruction on grammar and mechanics is

the interactive white board/SMART board

Decoding

is NOT a skill used in comprehension

Literature circles

small, temporary, and heterogeneous groups of student that gather together to discuss a book that each of them are reading with the goal of enhancing comprehension. Students have "jobs" such as readers, note taker, and administrator

The most effective way to teach new vocabulary is

to study new words in context.

A question a teacher could ask a student during a semantic cueing system is

Does that make sense?

Having students build background knowledge before teacher and students read have students engage in

either a virtually or through a field trip.

Revision

helps students understand the writing process and the organization of ideas within an essay

When a teacher is evaluating essays based on grammar and mechanics is a

syntactic analysis

A student that is scribbling from left to Right, imitating real writing is called

mock hand writing

Recognizing spelling and pronunciation rules for the suffix -tion is engaging in

phonics

The best strategy for developing concepts of print is

shared reading

During reading comprehension _____________ happens during and after reading can be conducted orally or written.

summarizing

The __________________ of reading is when a teacher is helping students pronounce nonsense words to understand different patterns and sounds in words

emergent stage

The five stage of legibility

letter formation

letter spacing

letter alignment

letter size

letter slant

Group discussions and debates are effective ways to teach

speaking and listening skills

A teacher walking around the room, reading from her book, and showing students her process for working through difficult words is

modeling

Choral reading

helps student increase proficiency

One of the best tools used in a classroom is

CD-ROM

A student reading with automaticity is

reading effortlessly through a text at >95% accuracy

If a student scores in the 38th percentile on the oral language assessment battery

The student will be classified as LY and place in an ESOL program. According to the FLDOE if a student scores below the 51st percentile on the LAB that student will be placed in the ESOL program.

According to research the most effective way to increase a students proficiency in reading informational text is to

Create opportunities for students to use informational text through authentic purposes.

Historical fiction is

a fictional story set in a historically accurate dates, time, places, and events

A teacher can ensure her students are being challenged and supported in the classroom by

providing enrichment activities for the low-level students and extensions for the high-level students. Extensions are for those who need to more challenge.

An example of invented writing is

I wuz at the uther skool. Invented spelling is using the sounds of words to spell them.

Invented spelling is

an essential skill in the beginning stages of reading and writing.

Phonics or graphophonic is

spelling

What happens in the graphophonic component of spelling?

Students learn that one sound may be formed a number of different ways. Example: shun and -tion

Book clubs

are resources or strategies that would be the best way to introduce a variety of genres to a class

emergent stage

is when a student has just learned how to spell words correctly to write his name

A student that is learning how to spell words correctly based on the basic rules of the English language is

phonics

A student using the fix-up strategy while he reads complex text is

in the emergent stage of reading

fix-up strategy is

what students use to get through the text they cannot read fluently. Fix-up strategies include: reading around the word, using context clues, and sounding out words.

A teacher wants to increase comprehension and critical thinking in her students

she can have students work individually to evaluate text structure and meaning

when doing a peer review

read through the text in its entirety to understand structure and content, then conferences with peer, then student revises based on feedback

Skills for reading comprehension

main idea, supporting details and facts, author's purpose, fact and opinion, point of view, inference, visualize, and conclusion

semantic cueing system

a system that focuses on any meaning a student derives from a sentence that is primarily based on prior knowledge.

* Did that make sense?

Syntactic cueing system

focuses on the structure of the sentence and how language works

* Does that sound correct?

Graphophonemic cueing system

focuses on various visual cues and knowledge about the relationship between sounds and symbols. Phonological awareness is VERY important for this system.

* Does that look right?

The following are essential SKILLS for reading comprehension

decoding, word recognition, fluency

Students learning skills independently are NOT

a benefit to a workshop approach

A double entry journal

enables students to record their responses to text as they read.

semantic

having to do with the meaning of words or language. Does this make sense?

When going through the writing process teachers should focus on

the revision process

Mock handwriting

Children practice drawing shapes, letter like forms appear, writing left to right, first sign of emergent writing.

phonics

teaching reading by training beginners to associate letters with their sound values by correlating sounds with letters or groups of letter in an alphabetic writing system

summarizing

happens during the reading and when reading is finished.

According to research, what would be the most effective way to increase students proficiency in reading informational text?

Create opportunities for students to use informational text or authentic purposes

A student is learning how to spell words correctly based on the basic rules on the English language. What is the student working on?

phonics

A student is using the fix-up strategies while he reads complex text. What stage of reading is the student in?

emergent
