Study Notes
Syllables
- Every syllable must have a vowel sound.
Phonemic Awareness
- The knowledge of printed letters and their associated sounds is called phonemic awareness.
- English Language Learners who demonstrate phonemic awareness in their first language will still need intensive phonemic awareness training in English.
Short Vowels
- A short vowel sound occurs when the vowel sound is short and quick.
The Brain's Link
- The brain's link between the sounds, the printed letters, and the meaning of a word is called the alphabetic principle.
Syllable Counting
- The word "dissatisfaction" has five syllables.
Phonemes
- A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language.
Graphemes
- A grapheme is a letter or group of letters that represent a phoneme.
Reading Challenges
- A child who reads more words on a page than there are words has not developed one-to-one correspondence.
Phonemic Awareness Instruction
- Instructional tools to teach phonemic awareness include games like rhyming games, elkonin boxes, and sound boxes.
Systematic Phonics Instruction
- Systematic phonics instruction includes teaching letter-sound relationships, blending sounds, segmenting sounds, and using phonics in decoding and encoding.
True Statements
- Phonemic awareness is a foundational literacy skill that is essential for reading success.
Components of Phonological Awareness
- Components of phonological awareness include rhyming, alliteration, segmenting, blending, and phoneme manipulation.
Segmenting Sounds
- Tapping fingers can be a helpful teaching strategy when teaching segmenting sounds.
Letters and Sounds
- Activities that are helpful for teaching letters and their sounds to children include letter matching games, singing alphabet songs, using letter charts, and creating letter boxes.
Teaching Sequence
- A reasonable order (sequence) for teaching skills is:
- Phonemic awareness
- Letter-sound correspondence
- Blending sounds
- Segmenting sounds
- Decoding and encoding
Consonant Digraphs
- A consonant digraph is a combination of two consonants that represent a single sound.
- The word "ship" contains a consonant digraph.
True Statement
- Phonics is the study of the relationships between letters and sounds.
