LETRS Unit 1 Sessions 1-8 Assessment\/Quizzes.
LETRS Unit 1 – Session 1.
Phonics – The study of the relationships between letters and the sounds they represent;
also used to describe code based instruction
Phonemic Awareness – The conscious awareness of the individual speech sounds
(consonants and vowels) in spike syllables and the ability to manipulate those sounds
syllable – a unit of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding
consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word
orthography – A writing system for representing language.
morphophonemic – Deep alphabetic writing system organized by both sound-symbol
correspondences and morphology
Morpheme – in language, the smallest unit that carries meaning, it may be a single
sound (\/s\/ plural), one syllable (suffix -ful), or multiple syllables (prefix inter-)
cognate – A word in one language that shares a common ancestor and common
meanings with a word in another language
metalinguistic awareness – The ability to think about and reflect in reflect on the
structure of language itself
Decoding – The ability to translate a word from print to speech, usually by employing
knowledge of sound-symbol correspondences
Simple View of Reading – Word recognition X Language comprehension = reading
comprehension
LETRS Unit 1 – Session 1 (2)
Phonics – relationship between letters and sounds. Code based instruction.
Phonemic Awareness – awareness of individual speech sounds (consonants and
vowels) in spoken syllables and the ability to consciously manipulate those sounds.
Alphabetic Writing is less than _<\/strong><\/em><\/strong> years old. – 5,000
90% of all spoken languages have no – written form, let alone an alphabet that
represents the separate sounds of speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syllable – the unit of pronunciation that is organized around a vowel; it may or may not
have a consonant after the vowel.
Egyptians invented the first alphabet in – 2,000 BCE
Phoenician alphabet was developed in _<\/em><\/strong> and was the granfather of our
alphabet 19 of 26 letters can be traced. – 1,000 BCE
Modern American English spelling was settled in 1828 with – Webster’s Dictionary
Orthograpy – a writing system for representing language
Morphonphonemic – alphabetic writing principle organized by both sound-symbol
correspondences and morphology.
Morpheme – the smallest meaningful unit of language; it may be a word or a part of
word; it may be a single sound, one syllable or multiple syllables
To read an alphabetic alphabet a person must – mentally link the alphabetic symbols
with the single speech sounds or phonemes that they represent.
All alphabets require – speech sound (phoneme) awareness by the reader.
Shallow or Transparent Alphabetic Orthography – correspondences in the alphabetic
writing system are regular and predictable. One sound represented by one symbol or
letter.
Deep or Opague Alphabetic Orthography – the spelling system represens morphemes
(meaningful parts) as well as speech sounds. Morphophonemic contains both
phonemes and morphemes.
Advantages of Alphabetic Writing – permits any word to be read or written in a language
with a small set of symbols. A limited number of symbols can be combined to create the
entire language, even new words. Language can be written and read by anyone who
can match the symbols to the sounds they represent.
Disadvantages of Alphabetic Writing – People are wired to process speech sounds. The
phoneme -that sound that a letter represents – is not self evident, natural, or consciously
accessible understanding for humans.
Metalinguistic Awareness – the ability think about and reflect on the structure of
language itself. The invention of the alphabet was an achievement.
The Simple View of Reading – Word Recognition x Language Comprehension =
Reading Comprehension<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Word Recognition – The accurate and fast retrieval of decoded word forms, is essential
for the development of reading comprehension.
Language comprehension – listening comprehension or the linguistic processes involved
in the comprehension of oral language.
Decoding – the ability to translate a word from print to speech, usually by employing
knowledge of sound-symbol correspondences.
LETRS Unit 1 Session 2
Semantics – The study of word and phrase meanings and relationships
Morphology – The study of meaningful units in a language and how the units are
combined in word formation
Discourse – Organizational conventions used in longer segments of oral or written
language
Phonology – The rule system within a language by which phonemes can be sequenced,
combined, and pronounced to make words
Syntax – The system of rules governing permissible word order in sentences
Orthography – A writing system for representing language and the rules that govern it
Pragmatics – The system of rules and conventions for using language and related
gestures in a social context
Example of Phonology – No English word begins with the sound \/ng\/; the sound \/p\/ and
\/k\/ are never adjacent in the same syllable.
Example of Orthography – Every English word ending in \/v\/ is spelled with -ve; the letter
x is never doubled.
Example of Morphology – Nat- is a root. Nature is a non=in; natural is an adjective;
naturalist is a noun; naturally is an adverb.
Example of Semantics – The word rank has multiple meanings. The words order and
sequence have similar meanings.
Example of Syntax – “Our district recruits new teachers” is a sentence; ” New teachers
our district recruits” is not a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LETRS Unit 2_Complete Q&A 2022.
Phonological processor – Which works with speech sounds
Phonological awareness – Awareness of all levels of the speech sound system is the
foundation for reading and spelling.
the ability to reflect on and manipulate the sound structure of spoken language
Phonological awareness – The ability to identify think about and manipulate units of
spoken language is the underpinning for processing reading language symbols.
Like syllables, part of syllables called unsaid and rimes, and Phonemes is, the smallest
segment of speech that combined to make new words.
Four-Part processing model for Word Recognition
Number 1: Phonological processor – Helps you understand and produce oral language
Four-Part processing model for Word Recognition
Number 2: Orthographic processor – Helps you connect words with your visual forms
Four-Part processing model for Word Recognition
Number 3: Meaning processor – Is your internal dictionary of word definition
Four-Part processing model for Word Recognition
Number 4: Context processor – Helps you use context to understand what a word
means
So the four processors from the Four-Part processing model work in isolation.
True or False – False
they don’t work in isolation they interact
If you’ve heard a word spoken in your environment, you will recognize that word more
rapidly when you see it in print. How? – This requires coordination between the
phonological and orthographic processors.
If you know what they were means and I have seen it in print, you can recognize or
recall its pronunciation more automatically. How? – In this instance, the meaning
processor, orthographic processor, and phonological processor work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you analyze the syllables in individual sounds in the word, the words meaning can be
more easily stored in semantic memory. – This activate the phonological processor and
meaning processor.
If you can analyze and manipulated the specific sounds in spoken words, the
corresponding printed words Will be easier to remember for reading and spelling. How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
