Bringing Children & Text Together
Form of reading that assumes the process of translating print to meaning begins with the print. The process is initiated by decoding graphic symbols into sounds.
What is the bottom-up model of reading?
Quantitative, qualitative, and reader/text factors
What are the components of text complexity?
The ability to hear sounds of language apart from its meaning.
What is phonological awareness?
The ability to name or label words that are encountered in print and encompasses the use of multiple cues to identify unfamiliar words.
What is word identification?
What are the phases of children's development in early reading and writing?
Reflects the prior knowledge, experiences, conceptual understandings, attitudes, values, skills, and procedures a reader brings to a reading situation.
What is schema theory?
Sentence length, number of syllables, word length, and word frequency.
What are the quantitative features of text complexity?
Rhyming, alliteration, sentence segmenting, blending and segmenting syllables, and phonemic awareness.
What is the phonological awareness continuum?
Word recognition, sight-word recognition, context
What is immediate identification?
Written language in books, supermarkets, department stores, fast-food restaurants, television, computer games, household products, and signs.
What is environmental print?
Refers to the knowledge and regulation of some form of cognitive ability. In reading, it refers to self-knowledge, task-knowledge, and self-monitoring.
What is metacognition?
A way to measure a texts readability based upon a calculated formula.
What are lexile levels?
/c/ /a/ /t/
What is phoneme segmenting?
Whole to part phonics instruction
What is analytic phonics instruction?
The ability to listen and speak with understanding and communicate with others
What is oral language development?
This system relies upon the print itself in order to provide readers with a major source of information. The graphic symbols or marks on the page represent speech sounds. The more experience readers have with written language, the more they learn about regular and irregular letter-sound relationships.
What is the graphophonemic system?
The reader's success with reading and cognitive skills, prior knowledge and experience, motivation and engagement, and specific task concerns.
What are the reader/tasks factors of text complexity?
toy, truck, band
What is phoneme categorization?
/th/ /ing?
Opportunities for children to discuss experiences, listen to and tell stories, dictate words, sentences and stories, and write independently.
What are language-experience activities?
Model that assumes that the process of translating print to meaning involves making use of both prior knowledge and print.
What is the interactive model of reading?
Writing style, vocabulary, text structure, and author's purpose.
What are language features?
Stories, games, tongue twisters, and alliteration.
What are ways to help children build their phonological awareness skills?
Instructional strategies that use a combination of the senses, namely the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile modalities.
What are multi-sensory activities?
The teacher is a scribe for text dictated by children and shares the pen with them to create the text together.
What is shared writing?
