Reading: Semester 5: quiz 2

what does systematic mean?

scope and sequence

What is scope?

letters/sounds to be taught; what you are going to teach

what is sequence?

order easiest to hardest

What does explicit mean?

directly tell students what you are teaching them. use a routine to introduce letters; what you are going to teach

What is the order for how graphemes should be taught?

letter-sounds (consonant), short-vowels CVC words, digraphs (beg. and end), consonant blends (beg.), consonant blends (end), silent e, vowel teams, r-controlled, diphthongs, multisyllabic (-s, -ed, -ing)

what makes graphemes hard to learn?

vowels, consonant clusters, TWO-to-ONE or THREE-to-One Patterns (Vowel Patterns)

why are vowels hard?

are the most complex part of English spelling (long and short sounds but same letter)

why are consonant clusters hard to learn?

The adjacent sounds are hard to separate (e.g. st-, sl-). ones at the beginning are easier to learn than ones at the end.

why are vowel patterns hard to learn?

When 2 letters spell 1sound it’s hard (e.g., oi, ai, e_e)

order the following words easiest to hardest to learn: gasp, gap, strap, slap

gap, gasp, slap, strap

why do we teach consonants first?

Can be combined quickly with vowels to build words

why do we teach short vowels after consonants?

Can build words right away, CVC, 1-to-1, Pattern is consistent

why do long vowels take a long time to learn?

more info, more than one way to spell the same sound, more than one sound for the same spelling, lots of repitition

what are the 4 phonics lesson components?

review, phonemic awareness and decoding, phonemic awareness and spelling, read

what are Ehri’s phases of reading?

pre-alphabetic phase, partial alphabetic phase, full alphabetic reading phase, consolidated alphabetic phase, and automatic reading phase

What happens during the pre-alphabetic reading phase?

do not have any alphabetic knowledge. use cues to help them read.

what happens during the partial alphabetic reading stage?

know all or nearly all the letters of the alphabet. upper and lower case. phonetic cue reading. typically cannot yet systematically decode words.

what happens during the full alphabetic reading phase?

decoding and ability to sound out one-syllable. recognize closed syllable words. silent e words. r-controlled words. vowel combinations. automaticity increases. higher oral language comprehension

what happens during the consolidated alphabetic reading phase?

moving towards being able to automatically decode familiar words. words ending in -le. phonetically regular two-syllable words. able to spell more words correctly

what happens during the automatic reading phase?

no longer needing to decode familiar or unfamiliar words sound by sound. more working memory to comprehend. instruction in morphology and vocabulary

what is a bookwalk?

Previewing the printed words, target patterns, and any tricky words students will encounter

why are single consonants easy to learn?

they are consistent

why are short vowels taught second?

consistent and over 60% of single syllable words

what is a high-frequency word?

a word that appears a great deal in english

what are sight words?

words that are automatically recognized
