Oral Literacy
What is language?
Language is a way of communication that follows a set of rules that are spoken (speaking English), written (writing words in English) or use another form or symbol of communication (American Sign Language).
The term describing the action of figuring out each aspect of a word before using it.
What is decoding
Examples of phonology in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Listening: ability to identify and distinguish phonemes while listening (i.e., phonological awareness)
Speaking: appropriate use of phonological patterns while speaking
Reading: understanding of letter-sound associations while reading (i.e., phonics)
Writing: accurate spelling of words while writing

Students gain knowledge when using this across all subject areas
What is writing and reading
Early oral literacy can develop what kind of meaningful reading and literacy
What is comprehensive
This step involves listening, and understanding all 44 letter sounds. A sound wall can help students with this.
What is phonological awareness
Examples of morphology in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Speaking: using morphemes correctly when speaking
Listening: understanding morphemes when listening
Reading: understanding grammar while reading
Writing: appropriate use of grammar when writing

A type of student led output where each desired outcome can change topics with each area of study
curricula with a systematic and explicit focus (i.e. teacher-directed) and negative or positive social-emotional outcomes for children.
what is negative
This step involved seeing and recognizing letters, parts of a book, punctuation marks, and comparing uppercase and lowercase letters
Examples of syntax in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Listening: understanding sentence structure elements when listening
Speaking: using correct sentence structure elements when speaking
Reading: understanding sentence structure while reading
Writing: using correct sentence structure when writing

Why do we want students to write in math?
To better understand the student's thoughts and procedures. If a student can verbalize their thoughts, and then use those skills to translate into words on paper, the teacher will have a better understanding of how the student's brain is functioning.
Outcomes found in this group's panel’s report (2008) would be used in the creation of literacy-specific materials for parents, teachers, and staff development for early childhood educators and family-literacy practitioners.
What is NELP or National Early Literacy Program?
This skill involves using foundational skills to develop word knowledge, like sounding out words, and which letters to use when we wish to spell something.
What is phonics and word recognition
Examples of semantics in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Vocabulary skills for each listening, speaking, reading and writing are semantics.

Effective Note-taking strategies
1. Skeletal Notes: For complicated material, skeletal notes provide a framework. The teacher provides a basic outline before the lecture, with blank spaces for students to fill in. The more space provided, the more students generally write. The framework helps students organize the material.
2. Note-Taking Cues: Putting notes on the board and/or emphasizing particular words and phrases helps students know when and what to write down. I have frequently just stopped class and told everyone to write something down. It isn’t very elegant but it gets the job done, though of course it is always better when students write notes in their own words.
3. Organization and Elaboration: Encourage students to not only read their notes, but to reorganize them as well. This helps them understand and remember. Elaboration can come from many sources, but the best approach is to encourage students to relate their notes to previous knowledge and/or personal experience.
4. Using a Split Page: Have students divide a page into halves and use the left side for major points or main ideas and the right for supporting details. This helps them recognize important ideas and facilitates more efficient self-study when reviewing notes at a later date.
5. Note-Taking Reviews: Teachers can periodically collect student notes, review them, and make suggestions for improvement. The suggestions need to be specific and consistent with note-taking strategies previously introduced. Telling students to simply take more notes is not very helpful. This is not a note-taking strategy per se, but it does help. Rafoth recommends that teachers not evaluate notes for a grade.

The part of our brain the helps make speech sounds, create words and sentences, and understand what we are saying.
What is Inferior Frontal Cortex
This skill involves putting together all of our foundational skills to create verbal sentences that have meaning.
What is fluency
Examples of pragmatics in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Listening: understanding of the social aspects of spoken language, including conversational exchanges
Speaking: social use of spoken language, including production of cohesive and relevant messages during conversations
Reading: understanding point-of-view, needs of the audience, etc.
Writing: conveying point-of-view, intended message, etc.

Non-effective note-taking strategies
1. Lecture notes/Transparencies. This entails a teacher lecturing students while expecting them to write down the words being said, or the words being read.
2. Instructors Notes. This is when a teacher gives the students the notes already completed, and expects the students to follow along with the lesson via the handed out notes.
