Word Recognition
This is the relationship between letters and sounds to help students read words.
What is phonics?
The formula “word recognition × language comprehension = reading comprehension” refers to this model.
What is the Simple View of Reading?
When students generate questions and monitor their understanding, they are using these kinds of strategies.
What are reading comprehension strategies?
It is helpful for teachers to support students with this skill, which involves reflecting on and managing their own learning process while reading.
What is metacognition?
MTSS stands for this full phrase.
What is Multi-Tiered System of Supports?
The ability to hear individual sounds in spoken words without needing to see them written is called this.
What is phonemic awareness?
This part of language helps us know how words are put together in sentences, like knowing the order of words.
What is syntax?
A hallmark of fluent reading involves reading with expression, also known as this.
What is prosody?
Progressing from simple to complex letter-sound associations is part of this kind of phonics approach.
What is a systematic phonics approach?
This tier of MTSS provides support to all students through high-quality classroom instruction.
What is Tier 1?
This phonemic skill involves combining individual speech sounds to form words.
What is blending?
This type of language has more sophisticated structure and is often found in books, rather than everyday conversation.
What is academic language?
This comprehension strategy involves retelling the main points of a text in your own words.
What is summarizing?
This approach focuses on building language structures and knowledge, background knowledge, and syntax to support comprehension.
What is knowledge-building instruction?
This term refers to the amount of meaningful learning opportunities in an intervention.
What is dosage?
This type of word part, like -ed or re-, is the smallest meaningful unit in a language.
What is a morpheme?
Words like "analyze," "predict," and "compare" are examples of these high-utility words across subjects.
What are Tier 2 vocabulary words?
Approaches designed to systematically deepen students' understanding by engaging them with rich content.
What are knowledge-building curricula?
This is an example of a tool to help students map key narrative elements like characters, setting, and initiating events.
What is a story map or graphic organizer?
This assessment helps determine whether a student is at risk and can benefit from early intervention.
This is the model that shows how reading words requires an individual to connect print, speech, and meaning.
What is the Triangle Model?
This type of vocabulary word is tied specifically to one content area, like “metamorphosis” in science.
What is a Tier 3 word (or domain-specific vocabulary)?
This model explains reading as an interactive process that integrates word recognition and linguistic comprehension, highlighting the importance of bridging processes that connect these components.
What is the Active View of Reading?
A vocabulary word learning strategy that uses images, sentence examples, and student-friendly definitions is called this.
What is explicit vocabulary instruction?
A systematic, research-based process for intensifying instruction using ongoing assessment and data to tailor interventions for students who do not respond adequately to standard approaches
What is data-based individualization?
