Phonological & Phonemic Awareness
RICA Vocab
Comprehension and Fluency
Writing Foundations
Literacy and Grammar Acquisition
100
The awareness that oral language is composed of smaller units such as spoken words and syllables -AND- The explicit instruction that detects and identifies word boundaries, syllables, rhyming words, onset and rime.
What is phonological awareness?
100
The use of a letter or group of letters to represent a sound in a language.
What is the Alphabetic Principal.
100
A student uses a technique by looking at the base word and prefixes or suffixes to understand the definition of the word.
What is structural analysis?
100
The writing activities that help support and reinforce students’ understanding of a text and their reading comprehension skills.
What are summarizing, outlining and responding?
100
The Syntactic System, which deals with the way we sequence words and how we structure sentences, is also known as this.
What is grammar.
200
The specific type of phonological awareness involving the ability to distinguish the separate phonemes in a spoken word. -AND- The explicit instruction that includes recognizing that words are made up of separate phonemes, blending, segmenting and deleting as well as separating phonemes.
What is phonemic awareness?
200
Language errors caused by extending observed rules and conventions of language further than what is correct (ie: runned, him's).
What is a Grammatical Overgeneralization.
200
When children know the names of the letters then they can start to understand that there is a relationship between sounds and letters and that they go together.
What is the alphabetic principle
200
The writing activities to help students reinforce students’ comprehension of narrative text and skills.
What are literary response journals, summaries, and character analysis?
200
In this stage of literacy development, students are developing familiarity with the alphabetic principle. They often pretend to read by reciting books from memory. They may also scribble "letters" or combine them randomly.
What are Emergent Readers (sometimes called Pre-reading or the Pre-alphabetic phase)
300
Phonemic awareness and THIS SKILL are letter-sound correspondence blending help demonstrate strategies for helping students make connections between their phonemic awareness and letters.
What is Phonics?
300
The ability to recognize and make the sounds in a language
What is Phonological Awareness
300
A type of comprehension strategy where students consistently check their understanding of the text?
What is monitoring
300
The stage of writing where students narrow their topic and determine their target audience.
What is prewriting?
300
In this stage of literacy development, students have moved from pretend reading to an early form of real reading. While students make numerous reading and writing errors (ie: LT for light, or mixing up vowels), they show an understanding of the connection between sounds and letters.
What are Beginning Readers
400
The type of instruction that is provided in phonological awareness to address the needs of struggling readers, and students with reading difficulties or disabilities.
What is differentiated instruction.
400
An approach to reading instruction that strikes a compromise between Phonics approaches and Whole Language approaches.
What is Balanced Literacy.
400
A word analysis strategy that breaks down a words using combination of pictures,definition,antonyms and latin meanings among others to create a visual “web” of meaning.
What is word map or semantic map?
400
The type of writer where the child learns to scribble, then draw, and write.
What is an emergent writer?
400
Readers in this stage have begun to internalize spelling, and the to think of letter sounds in patterns and larger chunks. They can recognize and isolate the onset and rime of a word, and have begun to read independently, showing some expressive phrasal reading (prosody).
What are Transitional Readers
500
The four techniques that are used in providing differentiated instruction in phonological awareness to support students with special needs.
What are visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile techniques?
500
The way that we decode multi-syllabic Words with an affix -AND- The process that we use to decode multi-syllabic words by independently examining each syllable and combining them to make a word.
What are Structural Analysis and Syllabic Analysis
500
The vocabulary list contains words like cat, can and cap. The teacher instructs how to sound out each letter. Then the students put all the sounds together.
What is blending
500
The three stages of developing in terms of writing where children can write pattern sentences, and then can write high-frequency words, and then can organize their writing into multi paragraphs.
What is an emergent, beginning and fluent writer?
500
These students have developed a degree of automaticity, freeing up their mind to think more about the meaning of what they are reading. They can read most texts with good accuracy and speed, orally and silently.
What are Intermediate and Advanced Readers
