Morphology | Combining sounds for meaningful units |
Morphemes | Smallest unit of meaning Cat = one cat Cats = 2 morphemes |
Syntax | Structure of a sentence or phrase, order of words make a difference in the meaning, "Mary likes Jim" "Jim likes Mary" |
Semantics | Meanings of words + phrases. To know "cat" is an animal. Comprehension of word meaning. |
Pragmatics | The rules of effective communication, ie. taking turns, politeness |
Phonological Development | Sounds of language. 2-3 months: cooing, babbling, 8-18 months first words |
Semantic Development | Words have meanings. Holophrase - a single word stands for a whole idea or sentence. ie. "milk" - give me milk now. Age 2 - begin using 2 words at a time. |
Grammatical Development | Preschoolers: begin using grammar, frequent mistakes "over regularization" sign they are actively learning. |

Expressive Language | Ability to express using language |
Teacher should be sensitive to variations of formal assessments | PPVI = Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test TOLD Test of Oral Language Development |
Reccomendations for Speech or Language Development | By age 4 most children can articulate all sounds. Some children continue to struggle with l,r,s and th |
Activities to build language skills | Scaffolding: adults helping children. Reading to child, discuss and share reaction. |
Shared Reading | Rhymes, songs and games. Participate in conversation. Thinking out loud\teacher. Props: show and tell |
Interrelate oral and written langrage | LEA: Language Experience Approach. Student dictates story to teacher who writes it down. |
Connect spoken language with printed language. | Textless books: Pictures\no print. They practice their vocabulary and appreciation of narrative. Retell or tell stories they know. Dialogic reading: hold conversation with child about a story just read. Word walls: |
Adapt spoken language to various audiences: | Focus on basic conventions: 1)politeness 2)tone of voice 3)responding to a question |
Differences between 1:1 and group discussion | 4)speaking up\volume 5)appropriate amount of information 6)eye contact. Role-playing |
Listening Slills: Different Types: | Critical Listening - to understand or evaluate. Listening for appreciation-to enjoy. Active listening works best with children. 1)encourage their participation 2)paraphrase important parts 3)ask them appropriate questions 4)taking notes |
Evaluation of spoken messages | Metacognition: aware of ones thought processes. Metalinguistic knowledge: ability to reflect on and evaluate language. |

Phonemic Awareness | able to identify the phonemes (sounds) that make up words. |
Phonemic Awareness Skills (must haves) | 1)rhyming: rep of sounds at end of words 2)alliteration: rep of sounds at beginning of words 3)blending: combining indiv. sounds to make a word 4)segmentation: dividing of words into sounds |
Auditory Discrimination | matures in infancy |
Phonological and phonemic Awareness | Must be taught over time *absolutely necessary for reading |

Alphabetic Principle | Understanding relationship between sounds and letters |
English - Alphabetic lang. | written with a leter for each sound (or phoneme) |
Grapheme | Letter or letters that represent a phoneme |
Graphophonemic Knowledge | Specific relationships between graphemes and phonemes between letters and sounds |
Phonics | Method of teaching |
Alphabetic Skills | Develop over time with instruction. Knowing the alphabet doesn't mean they know /A/ is A. |
Alphabetic recognition | Ability to recognize printed letters. Develops in tendem with graphophonemic knowledge. ie. as they learn how it looks, they learn the sound. By end of kinder, they can distinguish between upper and lower case letters. |
Instruction (alphabetic) | 1st High frequency consonants m, t, b (c) then short vowels (v). Simple CVC words (bat) |
Alphabet Teaching Strategy(instruction) | 1)songs, rhymes, and storytelling-alphabet song (it rhymes) 2)alphabet books: read to them, help children create their own 3)work boxes 4)alphabet displays and word walls 5) other ie. matching games (link picture of object with initial letter |
Instructional approaches | Multisensory tech. 1)magnetic letters 2) letter shoped cookie cutters 3)sand trays 4)sky writing. Variety is important to teach all children with different learning styles.*Integrate with meaningful activities link letters to words |
Assessment | Informal\young child: ask them to point to letters, sing alphabet, name letters, make a sound of a letter Older: given sets-asked to seperate upper and lower case letters, seperate vowels and consonants |
Literacy Development | Begins at birth |
Emergent Literacy | Child's beliefs and experiences before formal instruction |
Conventional Literacy | Reading and writhing taught in school = continuum of development |
Print awareness | unstanding of print facilitated by being read to |
Environmental Print | By age 2, print found in their environment ie. lables, signs and logos |
Distinguish text from non-text | Early attention to print is global -call attention to print text by tracing with finger as you read |
Levels of literacy development | 1)Emergent literacy begins at birth - fostered through conversations, games 2)pre-reader "reads" text he knows 3)Being read to increases voc. and teaches conventions of print, pretend writing |
Writing | Earliest-scribble, mock letters, true letters emerge. One letter stands for a whole word D for dad. Combos of letters appear MK=milk, invented spelling-encourage this |
Incorporate literature into instruction | Teachers - have variety of fiction and nofiction, different genres, book bags for individual child, have a library |
Choral Reading | Entire class reads out loud |
Guided Reading | 1)explain purpose for reading text 2)explain how to respond |
Independent Reading | By self |
Genres that should be represented | folklore, realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, poetry, biographies, essays |
Expository texts | Information books |
Basal Readers | designed to foster a sequence of skills |
Word Analysis | Recognition of written words |
Sight words | words recognized instantly |
Decoding | Using phonic analysis to know how a written word sounds, Individual sounds and blend sounds |
Diphthongs | Adjacent vowels that are both heard "oy" in toy "out" "ou" |
Consonant blends | Adjacent consonantsb both heard "br" in Break |
Digraphs | Adjacent vowels or consonants heard as a single sound, "ch" in cherry, "ee" in meet |
Phases of word analysis: development | 1)in environmental print, recongnized words that are meaningful to them, ie. their name, restaurants they like, family car name 2)more analytical, develop word analysis, decoding strategies 3)recognize words in an automatic way |
Ways to promote word recognition skills | Directed instruction, modeling, guided practice, for early readers-sorting words, word walls, reading-shared reading point to words, writing material-manipulable, sight words, phonics |
Goal of word analysis and decoding | Meaningful communication through reading and writing |
Teach in simple to complex progression 1-6 | 1)words in lower case 2)familiar words from spoken lang 3)single syllable words 4)1st simple CVC cat 5)words w\ continuous sounds(m) before words with stop sounds (p)unless stop sound comes at the end of word 6)words w\ similar letters(b+d)in bed should |
Teach in simple to complex progression 7-9 | 7)words with single consonants before consonant clusters 8)words wih high frequency C like "t" first 9)words with rimes "ack" "ell" and "ump" |
Use decodable texts (books they can read) | 1)materials w\ letter-sound relationships a child already knows 2)helps child progress to silent reading 3)oral reading\choral reading good, teacher models phrasing, rhythm and punctuation -round robin frowned on 5)track and review irregular words |
Teach multisyllabic words | after monosyllabic are mastered, intro throughuse of words familiar to them ex. horseshoe and football |
Teach how to use structural cues | ID parts that are familiar to to ID whole word, use syntax and context for clues |
Word Analysis and Decoding Assessment | Running records over time, llisten to child read, note, tempo, accuracy, omission, repetitions and self-monitoring ie. self-correction=assess not just for accuracy but for strategies, assess comprehension as reading progresses Fluency\not mean comp. |
Reading Fluency | Student recognizes words as they read and flows smoothly |
Development of Fluency Stage 1 | Pre-reading stage:may have alphabetic + graphophonemic knowledge but unable to decode unfamiliar words |
Dev of Fluency Stage 3 | Fluency stage: decoding becomes automatic, fluent and expressive in their reading |
Dev of Fluency Stage 2 | Initial reading stage: 1 + 2nd gr, ea word decoding stage, is a problem to be solved |
Dev of Fluency Stage 4 | Reading to learn stage: focus is on content rather than on act of reading |
Progress of fluency facilitated by | 1)vocabulary development 2)sight words 3)ability to use semantic and grammatical cues |
Apply norms to monitor fluency | TORF: Test of Reading Fluency, timed reading samples, tracking # of words pronounced correctly |
GORT-3: Gray Oral Reading Test: | Reading rate, accuracy and comprehension assessed |
Instructional methods to dev fluency 1-2 | 1)Effective modles: teachers, advanced students 2)Repeated reading: child rereads passage until fluency is abtained |
Instructional methods to dev fluency 3-4 | 3)Oral Recitation Lessons: ORL: teacher models reading, passage discussed for meaning and prosodic features. Students practice-then give performance 4) Partner reading: poired reading, 1 reads if has a problems, asks partner for help, take turns |
Instructional methods to dev fluency 5-6 | 5)familiar texts: utilize in all prior methods. Reduces word ID and comprehension demands. Focus on fluency 6)Independent-level material-texts that match their reading level. |
Instructional methods to dev fluency 7-8 | (7) Silent reading: contributes to fluency Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) Make sure variety of books are read. (8) Self correction and feedback: Review: Fluent reading: read quickly, accurately, smoothly and with expression |
Reading Fluency | Read quickly, accurately, smoothly and with expression |
Prosody | Pitch, tempo, loudness and rhythm of language. Meaning of sentence and punctuation provide cues |
Reading Comprehension | understanding of written text |
Influences on Ind. comprehension | world knowledge, life experiences, vocabulary, reading ability, logical skills and schemata: clusters of ideas about stuff |
Story schemata | expectations one has developed about how a story proceeds |
Story Grammar | elements of a story and the rules that relate to those elements. Elements: setting, characters, plot and resolution |
Literal | Understanding what is explicitly stated in passage |
Inferential Comprehension | Understand what is implied |
anaphera | use of one word or phrase in place of another ie. "her" for "Mary" |
Cause - effect relationship | "The dog barked, the cat ran away" -the cat ran away because the day barked. |
Make predictions | "The mouse saw the cat" prediction - mouse ran away |
Teacher can promote comprehension | 1) providing background information 2) modeling the kinds of inferences to be used |
Facilitate transition to "reading to learn" | 1) discuss purpose of text - narrative (tell a story) vs expository (factual information) 2) discuss differences in organization of both |
Approaches that build comprehension - Before reading text: | 1) prvide background information 2) key vocabulary 3) text organization and intent\purpose 4) setup appropriate schemata |
Approaches that build comprehension - After reading text | 1) have a child summarize or retell orally or written 2) group discussion - good 3) encourage re-reading of parts or all text |
Approaches that build comprehension - Before and after reading | Use questioning strategies to help comprehension about main ideas, details, sequence of events |
Question-answer relationships (QARs) | 1) Right there - answers explicitly in text 2) Think and search - look for information in text - draw conclusions 3)Author and you: combo of information in text and students background knowledge 4) On your own: Call for evaluative responses |
Help children monitor their comprehension | 1)Directed Reading Activity (DRA) 2)Directed Reading - Thinking Activity (DR-TA) 3)KWL 4)Elements of leterary analysis 5)Story map |
Directed Reading Activity (DRA) | -Teacher helps develop schemata by relating it to student's experiences -supports silent reading with study guide questions -after reading give opportunity to practice knowledge and skills -finally enrichment activity are provided =teacher directed |
Directed Reading - Thinking Activity (DR-TA) | =student guided -students examine title - predict - examine illustrations - predict -silent read, check and revise predictions -make notes for discussion -discuss as a group |
K-W-L | Know: what I know Want: what I want to learn Learned: what I learned Promote metacognition |
