Competency 6 Vocabulary

Analytic phonics is...

• An approach to the teaching of reading in which the phonemes associated with particular graphemes are not pronounced in isolation. Children identify the common phoneme in a set of words in which each word contains the phoneme under study.

• A method of teaching reading, which first teaches the letter sounds and then builds up to blending these sounds together to achieve full pronunciation of whole words.

• Is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds-phonemes-in spoken words.

• An instructional method used to build phonological awareness by segmenting words into individual sounds (e.g. the placement of tiles or letters that correspond with each phoneme).

Phonemic awareness is...

• Is the smallest unit of sound in a word that makes a difference in its pronunciation, as well as its meaning, from another word.

• Is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds-phonemes-in spoken words.

• A series of letters that stands for a sound, syllable, syllable part, or series of sounds.

Syllables are...

• The beginning consonant sounds of words (e.g. sw-im)

• Units (typically containing a single vowel sound) within words

• The letters that follow the onset (e.g. sw-im)

• The smallest unit of language that has meaning.

A morpheme is...

• The smallest unit of language that has meaning.

• Is the smallest unit of sound in a word that makes a difference in its pronunciation, as well as its meaning, from another word.

• Units (typically containing a single vowel sound) within words

• The beginning consonant sounds of words (e.g. sw-im)

A phonogram is...

• The smallest unit of language that has meaning.

• The letters that follow the onset (e.g. sw-im)

• A series of letters that stands for a sound, syllable, syllable part, or series of sounds.

• Units (typically containing a single vowel sound) within words

A rime is...

• The smallest unit of language that has meaning.

• The letters that follow the onset (e.g. sw-im)

• The beginning consonant sounds of words (e.g. sw-im)

• Is the smallest unit of sound in a word that makes a difference in its pronunciation

Synthetic phonics is...

• An approach to the teaching of reading in which the phonemes associated with particular graphemes are not pronounced in isolation. Children identify the common phoneme in a set of words in which each word contains the phoneme under study.

• Is the smallest unit of sound in a word that makes a difference in its pronunciation, as well as its meaning, from another word.

An onset is...

• The beginning consonant sounds of words (e.g. sw-im)

• Is the smallest unit of sound in a word that makes a difference in its pronunciation, as well as its meaning, from another word.
