1

Language

An agreed-on communication system that makes use of oral and written symbols or signs

New cards
2

Reading is

Listening, speaking, writing

New cards
3

Primary ingredient for reading success

Classroom management

New cards
4

Expressive Language

The "output" of language, how one expresses his or her wants and needs usually through speaking or writing.

This includes not only words, but also the rules of grammar that dictate how words are combined into phrases, sentences and paragraphs as well as the use of gestures and facial expressions.

New cards
5

Receptive Language

Understanding oral or written language "input" including words and gestures.

New cards
6

Phonology

Sounds humans use to express language.

New cards
7

Prosody

Reading orally with appropriate vocal expression.

New cards
8

Intonation

The rise and fall of the pitch in the voice while speaking

New cards
9

Stress

Giving particular emphasis or importance to a point, statement, or idea made in speech.

New cards
10

Juncture

Features in speech that enable a hearer to detect boundaries between a word or phrase, e.g., distinguishing I scream from ice cream.

New cards
11

Rime

The vowel sound /letter and everything that follows it in a syllable.

New cards
12

Onset

The sounds /letters that precede the vowel in a syllable.

New cards
13

Phoneme

The smallest unit of speech sounds.

New cards
14

Phonemic Awareness

The ability to focus on and manipulate phonemes-individual sounds-in spoken words.

New cards
15

Orthography

The conventional spelling system of a language.

New cards
16

Grapheme

The smallest meaningful contrastive unit in a writing system—in alphabetic languages, a symbol or letter.

New cards
17

Alphabetic Principle

An understanding that specific letters or letter combinations are used in print to represent specific speech sounds in spoken words; for example, the awareness that the rer sound in speech is represented by the letter r in print.

New cards
18

Phonics

A teaching method that relates spoken sounds to written symbols in systematic and predictable ways (letter-sound relationships); this knowledge can then be used by readers to decode words in print.

New cards
19

Morphology

Relates to one's knowledge of meaning-bearing units or speech and writing, particularly root words and affixes (prefixes and suffixes). ______________ are the smallest parts of words that carry meaning

New cards
20

Morpheme

The smallest unit of meaning in language.

New cards
21

Free Morpheme

Sometimes called a root word, _________________ stand alone as a word that has meaning. Words such as ball, peninsula, and chain consist of a single morpheme and can stand alone, having its own meaning.

New cards
22

Bound Morpheme

A meaningful unit of language that must be connected to a free or another bound morpheme to have meaning. Examples include -ocracy, -ante, and bio-, as well as other prefixes and suffixes such as re-, -ed, and -es.

New cards
23

The Five Pillars

Teacher Knowledge

Classroom Assessment

Evidence-Based Teaching Practices

Differentiating Instruction

Family-Community Connections

New cards
24

Behaviorism

With regard to language development, this theory states that infants learn oral language from other human role models through a process involving stimulation/modeling, imitation, rewards, punishment, and practice.

New cards
25

Innatist Theory

States that language learning is natural for human beings. In short, babies enter the world with a biological propensity (inclination)—an inborn device, as it were to learn. Lenneberg (1964) refers to this built-in device for learning language as the language acquisition device (LAD) explains to some degree how students can generate or invent language they have never heard before.

New cards
26

Constructivist Theory

Based on the work of Jean Piaget, this theory suggests that language development is deeply rooted in the development of cognition or thinking, and that concept or cognitive development precedes the development of language ability. Piaget stated that there are predictable stages of language development: Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years), Preoperational Stage (2-7 years), Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years), and Formal Operations Stage (11-15 years and beyond).

New cards
27

Social Interactionist Theory

An explanation of language development emphasizing the role of social interaction between a developing child and linguistically more advanced or knowledgeable peers or adults.

New cards
28

Constant Blends

Combinations of two consonant letters whose sounds can be orally blended together such that each consonant is still pronounced (bl, fr, sk).

New cards
29

Phonological Awareness

An umbrella term that includes hearing and manipulating parts of spoken language such as words, syllables, rhyming elements in syllables, and alliteration.

New cards
30

Decoding

The ability to translate the code of written words (i.e., letters, affixes, syllables, and other word parts) into a spoken word.

New cards
31

Decoding

written symbols into language

New cards
32

productive language arts

speaking and writing is considered

New cards
33

receptive language arts

listening and reading is considered

New cards
34

primary ingredient in the recipe for every student’s reading success

an effective teacher

New cards
35

the study of speech sounds and their functions in a language

phonology

New cards
36

juncture

slight pauses between parts of spoken words

New cards
37

six components of language structure

phonology, syntax, orthography, morphology, semantics, pragmatics

New cards
38

a printed or visual symbol

grapheme

New cards
39

study of structure and forms of words including derivation, inflection, and compounding

morphology

New cards
40

add meaningful word endings s, ed, ing, and est

inflected morphemes

New cards
41

adding a letter or changing letters within a word, changing the past of the speech

derivational morpheme

New cards
42

the pattern or structure of the word order in a sentence or phase: the study of grammatical structure

syntax

New cards
43

study of meaning in language

semantics

New cards
44

the study of the choices of language that persons make in social interaction and of the effects of these choices on others

pragmatics

New cards
45

ability to put spoken sound together to say a word

oral blending

New cards
46

stretching out a spoken word and being able to say each sound heard in the word

oral segmenting

New cards
47

Constant Clusters

Combinations of three or more consonant letters whose sounds can be orally blended together such that each consonant is still pronounced (spl, str).

New cards
48

Diphthongs

Two vowels together in words producing a single, glided sound (oi in oil, oy in boy, ow in cow). Not really a critical phonics skill.

New cards
49

Schwa

Some vowel letters produce the uh sound like the a's in America. The ____________ is represented by the backward upside-down e symbol: อ.

New cards
50

Structural Analysis

Using known meaningful word parts that are often added to base words to figure out a word's pronunciation and meaning.

New cards
51

Segmenting

Dividing spoken words into sounds and representing those spoken sounds with letters to produce approximate spellings of the words represented in one's speaking vocabulary.

New cards
52

Blending

saying quickly the sounds associated with letters in printed words to gain approximate pronunciations that can be matched to words represented in their speaking vocabularies.

New cards
53

Sequential Blending

The act of recoding written symbols into spoken sounds in a single syllable or single syllable word working from left to right in sequence to decode (read) an unfamiliar word.

New cards
54

Hierarchical Blending

Beginning in late first grade and early second grade, teachers help students understand this type of blending used to decode multi- or polysyllabic words.

New cards
55

Drastic Strategy

Designed for teaching students to remember high-frequency sight words involving word recognition instruction. The steps are: See the word (visualize), Say the word, Spell the word, Write the word, Check (your spelling of) the word.

New cards
56

Reading Fluency

The ability to read grade-appropriate texts smoothly at a conversational reading rate/speed and appropriate use of expression or prosody in the voice.

New cards
57

Prosody

Reading orally with appropriate vocal expression.
