The Reading Wars
Two "camps" prior to the National Reading Panel Report
Whole Language & Phonics
The 5 Critical Components of Reading Instruction
Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehenion
study of sound structure in spoken words
Phonology
parents are informed in their native language or mode of communication and agree in writing to procedures for the child; consent may be revoked at any time
Informed Consnt
Two Critical Areas to Assess
Phonemic Awareness & Rapid Automatic Naming
Two "camps" after the National Reading Panel Report (until today)
Balanced Literacy & Structured Literacy
Awareness of, sensitivity to, and ability to manipulate individual phonemes (sounds) in spoken words
Phonemic Awareness
How to map phonemes to graphemes (,or single letter/multi-letter unit)
Sound-Symbol Correspondence
the right to a hearing to settle disputes; a protection for children with disabilities and their families
Due Process
Prevalence
13-14% of population; 1 in 10
The Simple View of Reading; Year
Word Recognition x Language Comprehension = Reading Comprehension; 1986
Knowledge of the meanings of individual words
Vocabulary
closed (creates short vowel), v-c-e (creates long vowel), open (creates long vowel), c-le (i.e. ble, gle), r-controlled (i.e. ar, or, er), vowels teams (create one sound)
6 Syllable Types

Comprehensive Evaluation
Dyslexia is primarily a vision issue
False
The fundamental belief underlying Whole Language
Reading is a natural process.
The ability to read grade-appropriate text (passages) accurately, with ease, and with reasonable speed; fluency oral reading also has good intonation and appropriate phrasing (prosody)
Fluency
Concerned with meaning; knowing the many different meanings that words can represent; vocabulary
Semantics
provisions of IDEA designed to protect students and parents in the special education process (a copy must be given to parents only 1 time a year, except a copy shall also be given upon initial referral or parental request for evaluation; upon first occurrence of the filing of a complaint; and upon request by a parent)
Procedural Safeguards
Dyslexia runs in families (Ture or False)
True
How does Scarborough's Reading Rope relate to The Simple View of Reading
It illustrates the treads of Word Recognition and in Language Comprehension that weaves onto Reading Comprehension; It is an elaboration. 2001
Knowledge of letter sounds and the ability to apply that knowledge when reading unfamiliar printed words
Phonics
The set of principles that dictate the sequence and function of words in a sentence; knowing words can be arranged in various ways. Includes part of speech (i.e. noun, verb, prepositions), how written words are organized into sentences and paragraphs in different forms of text, punctuation. Writing is a vital form of reading instruction.
Syntax
fair and objective testing practices for students from all cultural and linguistic backgrounds (when conducting the initial/comprehensive evaluation, the LEA shall: 1. use a variety of assessment tools and strategies to gather functional, developmental, and academic information, including that provided by the parent, that may assist in determining whether a child has a disability and the content of the child's IEP as applicable; 2. not use any single measure or assessment as the sole criterion for determining whether the child has a disability or the appropriate education program; 3. use technically sound instruments (i.e. reliable and valid)
nondiscriminatory assessment
A language-based learning disability; refers to a cluster of symptoms that result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading.
