three-letter words (p.49) | simplest words for young students to understand (CVC); use short vowel sounds |
basic digraphs (p.49) | two consonants that produce a sound unlike either of the component letters; ex: sh, ch, th |
consonant blends (p.49) | combining sounds into a slightly new form; bl, sl, st |
long vowel sounds (p.49) | 1-one-syllable words like row and mate 2-diphthongs, other irregular verb formations 3-vowels with r or l; car, walk, bird |
multisyllabic words (p.49) | read just like combinations of one-syllable words; give guided practice before sounding out on own |
synthetic phonics instruction (p.49) | build words out of sounds; activities that require students to make words out of disparate sounds; ex: write initial letter on board and have students pronounce it |
analytic phonics instruction (p.49) | break words down into component sounds; break words apart into discrete sounds |
initial consonant, digraph, and blend cards (p.50) | synthetic phonics; T gives cards to students and writes number of common rimes on board, students tape cards where they combine with a rime to form a complete word |
digraph, letter, and blend cards (p.50) | synthetic phonics; T gives cards to students to create short words, each S has several cards, many vowels included; then make multisyllabic words |
underlining (p.50) | analytic phonics; give short text, S underline all appearances of a given letter or digraph; read out loud to show how letter is used in each different case |
repeated consonant sound (p.50) | analytic phonics; T writes several sentences on board, each contains same consonant sound; underline words that contain consonant sound; read underlined words and; identify sound words have in common; write sound next to sentence |

phonics approach (p.53) | relationship btwn sound and comprehension; basic units to more complex; language units smaller than word level |
skills/balanced approach (p.53) | set of tools to make sense of simple texts; large vocabulary of sight words; less priority on phonics; recognize root, prefix, suffix, configuration, or context |
whole language approach (p.54) | specific functions of language; quality children's literature; communication skills, dialogues and role-plays; create own stories; teaching older children and adults |
graphophonemic cueing systems (p.54) | T concentrates on explicating grapho-phoneme-morpheme relationships to speed word recognition; similarities btwn written and spoken forms of a sound |

emergent literacy model (p.55) | children have a natural tendency towards language learning; constantly exposed to concepts of print, reading, and oral language, and therefore do not need a great deal of explicit instruction |
language acquisition model (p.55) | students have a predisposition to become literate, but disagree about influence of direct explicit instruction; solidify S natural understanding of language and literacy; metacognition |
reading readiness model (p.55) | opposite to emergent literacy model; direct instruction of reading skills; S will remain illiterate unless given explicit instruction |

Read-alouds (p.64) | guided oral presentaion of a story, with pauses at key points for questioning and discussion; listening comprehension is foundation of reading comprehension development |
Methods of text-based discussion (p.64) | enhance reading comprehension; ex: instructional conversations, questions for author, think-pair-share exercises; Socratic dialogue: probes S knowledge and tries to make S evaluate assumptions and judgements |
Letter recognition (p.65) | lead S slowly through alphabet song while pointing to each letter as it is sung; use mnemonic or memory aid |
Alphabet books (p.65) | Letters and pictures; "A is for apple" |
Concepts About Print (p.65) | CAP; Marie M. Clay; test book with 10 pages, some upside down, oriented incorrectly, or jumbled print; student identifies cover, title, author's name, starting word of book, count letters in word and words in sentence; asked how to resolve incorrectness |
Problems with print concepts (p.66) | not all languages adhere to alphabetic principle |
Fluency and reading (p.66) | fluency, word analysis skills, vocab, academic language, background knowledge, and comprehension are all related; fluency -> comprehension; automaticity theory |
Automaticity theory (p.66) | fluency is directly responsible for reading comprehension improvement |
Three indicators of reading fluency (p.66) | accuracy, rate, and prosody |
Accuracy (p.66) | the correct decoding and recognition of words |
Rate (p.66) | the speed at which words are recognized correctly |
Automaticity (p.66) | combination of exceptional accuracy and a rapid rate of reading |
Prosody (p.66) | the dramatic and artful reading style that improves attention and understanding of the listener;applying appropriate stresses or emphases, varying pitch and intonation, and pausing at appropriate times |
Fluency disruption (p.67) | lack of familiarity with vocab, weak word analysis skills, lack of background knowledge or familiarity with complicated syntactic structures, encounter with text with seldom-used, multisyllabic content words |
Repeated reading (p.67) | teacher or students read same text aloud two or more times in a row; systematic and explicit instruction is very important |
Choral reading (p.67) | Class reads text aloud in unison; slowly and led by teacher |
Dramatic reading (p.67) | act out narrative described in text; be familiar with text first; class participation |
Reading with a recording (p.67) | individual activity; read silently with headphones |
Silent reading (p.67) | good for independent reading, but can skip over words they don't understand |
Reading aloud (p.67) | forces students to confront every word in the text and to try pronouncing it at least; leads to automaticity |
Informal reading inventory (p.67) | IRI; most common versions of informal assessment; vary by student ability |
Tests in IRI (p.68) | word recognition list, graded reading passage, reading interest survey, print concepts test, phonemic awareness test, phonics test, structural analysis test, CLOZE test for content-area reading, vocab test, spelling test |
Purpose of IRI (p.68) | establish student's independent, instructional, and frustration reading levels |
Independent reading level (p.68) | understands and can pronounce 95% of words in text and answers 90% of grade-level reading comprehension questions correctly; don't need help from teacher or classmates |
Instructional reading level (p.68) | understands and can pronounce 90% of words in text and answers at least 60% of grade-level reading comprehension questions; will need some help |
Protocol for performing IRI (p.68) | students may have comprehension skills that surpass their vocab; should be given opportunity to demonstrate understanding in ways other than language; ex: draw pictures |
Frustration reading level (p.68) | student cannot understand or pronounce at least 90% of words and answer at least 60% of grade-level reading comprehension questions; not made to read at this level without assistance; prolonged exposure is bad for self-esteem and development of literacy |
Assessing components of fluency (p.68) | Holistic; Read grade-level text aloud; Accuracy: calculate # of words read correctly as portion of total words read; Rate: per-minute basis by timing the student as he reads Prosody: read narrative with expression, intonation, phrasing, etc. |
