It is composed of the pre-alphabetic stage, partial alphabetic stage, full alphabetic stage and the consolidated alphabetic stage.
What are the stages of Stage Theory?
100
Light bulb or 'aha' moment. Lasting understanding students will take with them on their forward educational journey. What do you want students to learn? The main ideas or essential understanding of the lesson or unit.
What is a big Idea?
100
the smallest part of written language that represents a phoneme of a language. E.g. -> igh -> i
What is a grapheme?
100
Making a store of /s/ words. Children help write the list through "sharing the pen".
What is an example of phonics?
100
Students read aloud while the teacher records miscues and errors.
What is a running record?
200
Stage one students learn words by selective association and selecting some non-phonetic feature that distinguishes it form another. E.g. -> environmental print. Stage two, there are no vowel correspondences and no decoding skills. E.g. -> break apart words (first and last letters)
What are the pre-alphabetic and partial alphabetic stages?
200
Standards-based questions. Questions, not statements. Cannot use yes or no questions. Will stimulate student curiosity to find the answer. Derived from big ideas.
What is an essential question?
200
the smallest meaningful part of a word. Sometimes it is a whole word (cup or hope) and sometimes it is part of a word (-ly or bi-).
What is a morpheme?
200
Students push m and m's into sound boxes as they hear the sounds in words like pin, sat, and jog.
What is an example of phonemic awareness?
200
Developmental reading assessment. Students read while teachers record errors or miscues. Student continue reading alone and fill out a work sheet of questions pertaining to reading comprehension strategies and abilities.
What is a DRA2?
300
Students start processing all the letters in the alphabet. They are reading word for word and understand that vowels are there but don't know how to use them.
What is the full alphabetic stage?
300
People can learn and apply a systematic process for understanding the natural world. (or) A haiku is one of many forms of poetry made up of three lines of 17 syllables total. A haiku expresses ideas and feelings by using small descriptive words. A traditional Japanese haiku describes a single moment in time.
What is an example of a big idea?
300
the smallest phonetic unit in a language that is capable of making a distinct sound. E.g. -> m in mat, b in bat. A sound; it is represented in print with slashes.
What is a phoneme?
300
The ability to identify and manipulate phonemes, onsets and rimes, and syllables. It includes phonemic awareness.
What is phonological awareness?
300
95-100%
What is an independent reading level?
400
Students start chunking letters in the alphabet.
What is the consolidated alphabetic stage?
400
What is scientific inquiry? How do we use it in real life?
What is an example of an essential question?
400
Eyes and ears. Children read a word and say it out loud.
What is phonics
400
Children’s basic understanding that speech is composed of a series of individual sounds. Foundation for phonics and spelling.
What is phonemic awareness?
400
The term for the total number of words in a passage.
What are running words?
500
1. Nearly all words we learner are through phonics. 2. Instruction needs to be geared towards the needs of the student. (differentiation.)
What are the implications of stage theory?
500
The meaning system of language.
What is semantics?
500
A strategy in which the meanings of words can be determined or inferred by examining their meaningful parts.
What is morpheme analysis?
500
Meaning, visual, syntactical.
What are the types of miscues?
