Isolation, segmentation, blending, addition, deletion, and substitution.Choose an answer 1Teach Individual Words2Print Communication Skills 3Foster Word-Conciousness4Phoneme Don't know?

What is isolation in phonemic awareness?The ability to identify and articulate individual sounds in specific positions within a word, such as the beginning, middle, or end. (EX: the first sound in the word cat is /c/.) What is segmentation in phonemic awareness?The ability to break down a word into its individual sounds or phonemes in order.

(EX: what are the sounds in the word boat? /b/ /oa/ /t/.)

What is blending in phonemic awareness?The ability to combine individual sounds (phonemes) to form a whole word. (EX: what word has the sounds /c/ /l/ /o/ /p/? clop.) What is addition in phonemic awareness?The ability to add a phoneme to an existing word to create a new word. (EX: take the word plan and add a /t/ sound at the end. plant) What is deletion in phonemic awareness?The ability to remove a phoneme from a word and create a new word. (EX: take the word ground and remove the /g/ sound. round) What is substitution in phonemic awareness?The ability to replace one phoneme in a word with another phoneme to create a

new word. (EX: take the word top and change the /t/ sound to a /h/ sound. hop)

What IS Phonemic awareness? - means being able to pick out (isolate) and move around with the different sounds in words.

• foundation of reading and spelling
• is the alphabetic principle
• teaches that letters stand for sounds in language
• activities include putting sounds together to make words, breaking words down

into individual sounds, and changing sounds to make new words.What phonemic awareness is NOT.- not the same as phonics, phonics is about matching sounds to letters.

• not about knowing what whole words mean, it is just about sounds.
• not about looking, you do not need to see words to hear them.

Phoneme grapheme mappingThe matching of phonemes (sounds) in words with the graphemes (letters) that represent them.

• Helpful for students dealing with challenges such as dyslexia or limited english

skills.PhonemeThe smallest unit of sound in spoken language that distinguishes one word from another.GraphemeA written representation of a sound (phoneme) using one or more letters.What are the 3 components of fluency?- Rate -Accuracy

• Prosody

Accuracy (fluency)- reading with few errors

• allows readers to understand what they are reading without stumbling over

unfamiliar words

Rate/Automaticity (fluency)- speed at which a person reads

• a good rate allows readers to maintain comprehension and engagement with

the text Prosody (fluency)- reading with appropriate expression, intonation, and phrasing

• about reading with feeling and understanding the punctuation and structure of

sentences to convey the meaning effectively.What are the parts of Mechanics of Fluency?- word decoding fluency skills

• text decoding fluency skills
• comprehension fluency skills

What are word decoding fluency skills?focus on recognizing and decoding words efficiently.What are text decoding fluency skills?involve applying decoding strategies to larger segments of text to support overall reading fluency.What are comprehension fluency skills?crucial for understanding and making sense of the text being read, which is an important part of fluency.Vocabulary instruction tier 1- the most basic words

• learned through conversation and do not need direct instruction

EX: book, happy, run, orange

Vocabulary instruction tier 2- high frequency words that are used often in a wide variety of text

• best for targeted instruction

- EX: hilarious, arrange, national, masterpiece

Vocabulary instruction tier 3- used in a specific domain or refer to a specific content area

• best learned when the need arises

- EX: pterodactyl, electrolyte, molecule

Four part vocabulary plan- provide rich and varied language experiences

• teach individual words
• teach word-learning strategies
• foster word-consciousness

Rich and Varied Language ExperiencesIncludes reading lots of different genres and types of text, and having discussions as a class.Teach individual wordsIncludes using the tiers of vocab instruction to select appropriate words that can help students understand what they read.Teach Word-Learning strategiesIncludes teaching students strategies for understanding new words, like knowing different parts of words (morphology), using tools like the dictionary or thesaurus, or using context clues.Foster Word-ConciousnessIncludes helping students find a love of words by teaching the power behind words, using positive words, and choosing words carefully.

What are the 8 comprehension strategies?- metacognition

• monitoring comprehension
• visualizing
• graphic and semantic organizers
• answering questions
• generating questions
• recognizing story structure
• summarizing

Metacognition (comprehension strategy)Think about how you learn and understand things. When you read, consider which strategies help you and which do not, to become a better reader.Monitoring Comprehension (strategy)A reading strategy where readers actively check their understanding of the text as they read, identifying and resolving any confusion to enhance overall comprehension.Visualizing (comprehension strategy)Picturing what is happening in the story helps create mental images of the text, which enhances understanding and retention.Graphic and Semantic Organizers (comprehension strategy) Use visual tools like charts or webs to organize information from the text. Can help you see connections and understand the text's structure.Answering Questions (comprehension strategy) Answering questions about the text helps check your understanding and think more deeply about what you've read.Generating Questions (comprehension strategy) Asking your own questions about the text helps you think critically and understand it better.Recognizing Story Structure (comprehension strategy) Understanding parts of the story, like characters and plot, helps you follow the story and understand how it fits together.Summarizing (comprehension strategy)Summarize the main ideas and key details of the text in your own words. This helps you remembers and understand what you've read.Transcription (writing)- spelling words accurately and automatically fluent handwriting or keyboarding

• punctuation
• the process of converting spoken words into written symbols or letters (words)

Composition (writing)- process of creating written text by organizing and expressing ideas coherently

• using syntax to organize words in complete sentences
• choosing words that express your ideas and stay on topic
• incorporating text structure(s)/genre for organization of ideas into paragraphs

Working MemoryThe ability to hold and use information in one's mind while reading.Cognitive Flexibilitythe ability to switch one's thinking based on new information or different perspectives encountered in the text.Text Structurehow the information within a written text is organized, such as using sequences, causes and effects, problems and solutions, or comparisons.
