Stages of Development
Pre Alphabetic |
Pre K - K
Beginning awareness that test progresses from L to R. Recognize visual clues in print such as letters of name. |
|
Stages of Development
Early Alphabetic |
K - 1
Letters associated with sounds. Begin to read simple CVC words (mat, pin). Represents such words with a single sound. Will later spell with first and last consonant. CT for cat |
|
Stages of Development
Middle and Late Alphabetic |
1
when writing vowels included in each syllable. begin to recognize chunks or phonograms. |
|
Stages of Development
Orthographic |
2 -3
read larger units of print and use analogy to decode larger words. decoding becomes fluent. accuracy and speed when reading are stressed. |
|
Alphabetic Principle
|
in English, written words are made up of letters that match the sounds we hear when we speak these words. Written and oral language correspond.
|
|
Blend
|
Combining letter sounds in order to pronounce a word. Sounding out.
|
|
Concepts of Print
|
left to right. top to bottom. use of spaces between words. where a book begins and ends. predictor of reading success.

|
|
Syntax
|
examination of various ways that words combine to create meaning, study of how sentences are formed, and the pattern or structure of word order in sentences. grammar rules that govern how words are formed within a sentence. combines morphemes into meaninful sentences. syntax seems to develop from an innate sense of grammar.

Understanding Morphological Rules
|
In a classic experiment by Jane Berko, she presented first grade children with cards showing a fictional figure and asking them to fill in the missing words. All children responded by adding the plural form of the noun correctly. They successfully relied on morphological rules rather than remembering a past experience.
|
|
Grammatical Rules That Regulate Language
|
Phoneme
Pragmatics Morpheme Understanding Morphological Rules Syntax Semantics |
|
Child Directed Speech (CDS) or motherese
|
Adults modify their speech to make it easier for children to learn language including sentence structure, repeating key words, and focusing on present objects. First words are spoken by 12 mos and are usually familiar with objects or persons. first sentences spoken by 18 to 24 mos and are usually 2 words (telegraphic speech).
|
|

|
A process whereby young children are able to use context to arrive at a quick guess of a words meaning. Nouns (objects) are easier to fast map then verbs (action).

why does language communication become easier am more precise as child develops?
|
as children get older experience many different people, items, and situations. become more aware of similarities and differences. since communication depends on similar or complimentary experiences, as children age and have more experiences they have a larger base to work with.
|
|
identify and discuss three factors that inhibit language acquisition during early to middle childhood.
|
1. mental growth - as children grow mentally they expand their ability to retain info. if mental growth is slowed words could become more difficult to learn and memorize.
2. emotional growth - as children come in touch with expressing their feelings, their language base usually expands. if child has inhibitions or emotional problems could slow need or will to acquire language. 3. social growth - as children learn to interact with others, additional language becomes necessary. if social growth is slowed and there is less interest or exchange language growth may be inhibited. |
|
teacher notes when student reads orally continually omits silent e. for example says hat for hate, tap for tape, and cop for cope. how do you help?
|
teacher needs to call to the students attention to whether what they are reading makes sense. do more explicit vowel instruction. student also needs explicit instruction recognizing word patterns especially those ending with silent e. student would benefit from focused feedback and effective instruction in the role of silent e words. Activities could include focused attention to final, word sorting, and exposure to print that includes words of this type. the student must also focus on similarities and differences of words. word instruction using word sorting games and simple word games could be beneficial.
|
|
standard american english is a dynamic language that is constantly changing. why?
|
due to modern technology, infusion of foreign language, and inclusion of slang expressions. there is a necessity for new words to go with modern technology. as we invent/discover new items and processes, new names must be created to describe them. for example taser describes a self defense mechanism. infusion of words from foreign languages; as words become more used frequently they become part of our vocab. for example the word valet comes from the french. inclusion of words that were once considered slang expression give new meanings to words. for example chill out does not mean to become cold but to become calm.
|
|
the same word can have many meanings. explain how and give four examples.
|
words have different meanings depending on the context in which they are used. for example hand can mean a part of the body or five playing cards in poker. the word tree can mean a large plant or a diagrams as in family tree. the word run can mean to move quickly or a tear in a pair of stockings. the word fan can mean a device to help cool you down or a person at a sports event.
|
|
techniques author may use to make a short story more interesting.
|
figurative language, multiple points of view, flashback, foreshadowing
flashback a technique in which the narrative moves to a time prior of the main story. can make short story more interesting by giving it depth. the author can reveal why characters are what they are and behave as they do by showing details of their earlier life. foreshadowing uses clues to suggest events that have not yet occured. it is often used to create suspense and thus makes the story more interesting. allows the author to link seemingly minor details to an important event developed later in the story. |
