Ehri's Phases of Word- Reading Development - Correct AnswerPrealphabetic- incidental visual cues, general concepts of print
Early alphabetic- letter names and some letter sounds; early phonological/ phonemic awareness, syllable, onset-rime, initial phonemic matching
Later alphabetic-start automatic sight word recognition (regular and a few irregular words); initial set of phoneme/grapheme correspondences; basic phonemic awareness; segmentation and blending of 3-4 phoneme words
Consolidated- increasingly automatic sight word recognition; orthographic mapping; phoneme-grapheme links; advanced phonemic awareness; deletion, substitution, reversal of phonemes
phoneme- grapheme mapping - Correct Answermatching of phonemes in words with the graphemes that represent them
alphabetic principle - Correct Answerconcept that letters are used to represent individual phonemes in the spoken word
sight vocabulary - Correct Answerstudent's bank of words that are instantly and effortlessly recognized
phonological working memory - Correct Answerthe "online" memory system that remembers speech long enough to extract meaning from it, or that holds onto words during writing; a function of the phonological processor.
rapid automatic naming (RAN) - Correct Answerthe ability to quickly name a series of printed, repeated numbers, letters, or objects that should be known by role
phonological awareness - Correct Answerconscious awareness of all levels of the speech sound system, including word boundaries, stress patterns, syllables, onset-rime units, and phonemes
Phonemic Awareness - Correct Answerthe conscious awareness of the individual speech sounds in spoken syllables and the ability to consciously manipulate those sounds
phonics - Correct Answerstudy of the relationships between letters and the sounds they represent; also used as a descriptor for code-based instruction
onset-rime - Correct Answerthe natural division of a syllable into two parts, the onset coming before the vowel and the rime including the vowel and what follows it
alliteration - Correct AnswerSuzy sells seashells by the seashore
Onset and rime examples - Correct AnswerBoat- B-oat
Rat- R-at
Oat- O-at
Chair- Ch-air
Phoneme seperation - Correct AnswerBoat- /b/-/o/-/t/
Rat- /r/-/a/-/t/
Oat- /o/-/t/
Chair- /ch/-/a/-/r/
phoneme counting, blending, segmentation, deletion, and substitution - Correct Answercounting- /s/-/t/-/o/-/p/
blending- /s/-/t/-/o/-/p/
segmentation- say "stop"; say the sounds in "stop"
deletion- say "stop"; now say "stop" w/o the /s/
substitution- say "stop"; now say "stop" but instead of the /t/ say /l/
hourglass for phonological awareness - Correct AnswerPHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS:
early- syllables, alliteration, onset-rime
basic- phoneme blending, phoneme segmentation, phoneme deletion
advanced- substitution, reversal

English has ____ phonemes and _____ letters - Correct Answer44: 26
Allophonic variation - Correct Answerslightly different pronunciation of a phoneme, depending on its place in a word
consonant blend - Correct Answertwo or three consonant phonemes before or after a vowel in a syllable
consonant stops - Correct Answerunvoiced- /p/ (lips together) /t/ (tongue on ridge behind teeth) /k/ (back of throat)
voiced- /b/ (lips together) /d/ (tongue on ridge behind teeth) /g/ (back of throat)
consonant nasals - Correct Answer/m/- lips together, /n/- tongue on ridge behind teeth, /ng/- back together
consonant fricatives - Correct Answerunvoiced- /f/ (teeth on lip) , /th/ (tongue between teeth), /s/ (tongue on ridge behind teeth), /sh/ (tongue pulled back on roof of mouth), /h/ (glottis)
voiced- /v/ (teeth on lip), /th-/ (tongue between teeth), /z/ (tongue on ridge behind teeth), /zh/ (tongue pulled back on roof of mouth)

digraph - Correct Answertwo letters that stand for a single phoneme
vowel - Correct Answerphonemes that are voiced and open, which means they are produced w/ no obstruction of airflow through mouth
schwa - Correct Answerempty vowel in an unaccented symbol (wagon)
