Concept of Word Assessment

Concept of word refers to the ability of a reader to match spoken words to written words while reading. Students with a concept of word understand that each word is separate, and that words are separated by a space within each sentence. Using strategies to build concept of word in the classroom can also strengthen a child's developing awareness of the individual sounds within words.

Concept of Print Assessment

This assessment corelates with the the concept of word assessment

Phonological Awareness

Phonological awareness is a meta-cognitive skill (i.e., an awareness/ability to think about one's own thinking) for the sound structures of language. Phonological awareness allows one to attend to, discriminate, remember, and manipulate sounds at the sentence, word, syllable, and phoneme (sound) level

Syllables

A unit of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants, forming the whole or part of a word

Onset and Rime

The "onset" is the initial phonological unit of any word (e.g. c in cat) and the term "rime" refers to the string of letters that follow, usually a vowel and final consonants 

Phonemes

refers to a minimal phonetic difference, that is, small differences in speech sounds, that makes a difference in how the sound is perceived by listeners

Phoneme Addition

Phoneme Addition is an interactive and digital way to practice adding beginning phonemes to words to create a new word.

Phoneme Subtraction

The ability to identify how a word would sound if one sound were deleted.

Phoneme Segmentation

the ability to break words down into individual sounds

Invented Spelling

the practice of children using incorrect and unusual spellings for words, the usage of an educated guess based on phonetic knowledge.

Narrative Comprehension Assessment

A students ability to comprehend what they have reas in a particular narravtive text

What is DIBELs

The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy skills. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills.

Morning Message
