basic phonics practice quiz

Students read sight and high-frequency words aloud based on the word/grade level for the student. This assessment is scored by accuracy on level and speed of #words per minute.

 Sight and High Frequency Word Fluency

Students read a grade-appropriate passage aloud to the teacher for 1 minute. The measure assesses  decoding speed  and is seen as a critical measure of reading fluency. The results of this measure are sensitive to the short-term student gains in reading skills and predictive of long-term reading success. Scored as # of correctly read words in 1 minute.

oral reading fluency

Scarborough’s Reading Rope identifies three major strands, or subskills, that contribute to printed word recognition: (mark all that apply)

 Sight word recognition, phonological awareness

Students pronounce three letter CVC nonsense words based on the sounds the letters make. This is an early measure of the student’s decoding skill. Score is # correct in 1 minute.

expressive nonsense word fluency

The teacher says a three-letter CVC nonsense word. The student must choose the correct matching word from three possible choices, based on the sounds in the word the teacher said. Score is # correct in 1 minute.

receptive nonsense word fluency

Students tell the teacher the phonetic sound for each letter on the form. Letters are presented in uppercase and lowercase. Only consonants are used, and either sound is accepted for C and G. Letter sounds are a very early skill related to later reading achievement; they can be used to identify candidates for early intervention. Score is # correct in 1 minute.

letter sound fluency

Students name a series of pictures; this checks the student’s speed naming known items. By assessing “speed of recall’ for known information, this measure, as part of a multi-element screening for characteristics associated with risk for dyslexia, can be used for the early identification of students who are at risk for reading problems. Score is # correct in 1 minute.

rapid naming fluency

Students tell the teacher the name of each letter on the form. Letters are presented in random order and in upper and lowercase. Letter naming is a very early predictor of later reading achievement; it can be used to identify candidates for early intervention. Score is # correct in 1 minute.

letter naming fluency

A combination of two, three, or four letters that stand for a vowel

vowel team

In Ehri's Phases of Word Recognition, students are working in the _____________________ Alphabetical Phase when they know at least some letters and sounds. 

partial alphabetic

A letter combination where one or more letters is silent(i.e., does not represent the phoneme) but another letter does represent the phoneme. (kn, wr, gn, ps, rh, lm, lk, mn, st (listen)

silent letter combination

Letter tiles are used to make words that contain the correspondences that have been taught. The teacher says the word, models the segmentation of its sounds and counts how many grapheme tiles will be needed to spell it.
