Phonics
The study of phonics provides
the content for developing skill in the decoding of unfamiliar words
How does the brain read one word?
The right side of the brain is used more with people who have dyslexia
What is the science of reading?
reading is not a natural process, rewire brain with each connection learned. Doesn't take place in one part of brain, difference between functions of the left and right side of the brain
structured literacy benefits who?
all students, but especially English language learners and those who think and learn differently.
What is not a characteristic of dyslexia?
not being able to see the words; being blind.
Phonics definition
The study of the relationships of the letters and the letter combinations in written words to the sounds they represent in spoken words.
What are the five lobes of the brain that help with language and speech?
Frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital?
what is dyslexia and how can structured literacy help students who have it?
brain based condition that impacts reading, spelling, and writing. Not a problem with vision, but a problem with understanding and working with language. Clear instruction!
How is content taught in structured literacy?
explicit instruction, and systematic & sequential instruction
The red area of the brain is also called the
visual word form area. It is also called the brain's letterbox
What is syntax? and how does it apply to phonics?
this is the understanding of the grammatical order of words (like sentence structure)
applies to phonics because it helps to describe rules just like phonics does.
The orange area of the brain is the access point to?
semantics is
this is the understanding of the meaning of words and sentences
What is explicit instruction?
with this type of teaching, you make learning straightforward and clear for students, there is no guessing. direct modeling. Guided and independent practice.
What is phonology?
the study of sounds in spoken words
The yellow area of the brain is the access point to?
top-down attention (internal guidance of attention based on prior knowledge, willful plans, and current goals) and serial reading (letters are studied in sequential order)
morphology
this is the study of base words and affixes (prefixes & suffixes )
What is Systematic and sequential instruction?
teachers teach skills in a logical order. Students learn and master the easier skills before moving forward to the harder skills. goal is to make sure that students have the knowledge to succeed. practice and review.
syllables
knowing the types of syllables and how to divide words into syllables
The process order is (by colors)
blue, red, orange, green, and then yellow
Structured Literacy
explicitly teaches systematic word identification/decoding strategies. Evidenced based teaching and it aligns with science of reading. Teaches the structure of language.
