The term "sight word" is used in multiple ways in education. Which definition is used in the science of reading and by Dr. Kilpatrick throughout this course?
Common, high-frequency words taught early on
Any familiar word that takes no effort to read
Any unknown word that can be easily "sounded out"
Irregular words that cannot be easily "sounded out"
Dr. Kilpatrick states that there are two broad skills that distinguish skilled readers from poor readers. One is the ability to identify an unfamiliar word by "sounding it out." What is the other skill?
Phonemic segmentation
The ability to decode nonsense words quickly
The ability to remember words that have been read
Phonemic blending
What do poor readers often rely heavily on due to a lack of certain skills that strong readers use easily?
Letter-sound knowledge
Context cues
Phonetic decoding
Phonological awareness
Explicit, systematic phonics instruction has been shown to provide better results than whole word or whole language instruction, but while some struggling readers improve, they never "catch up." Improving which of the following skills will help phonics "take off" for these struggling students?
Decoding skills
Detection of grammatical cues
Phonological skills
Recognition of context cues
English, along with many other languages such as Spanish and French, is an alphabetic writing system. What does this mean?
Individual written symbols represent sounds in these languages
Most vowel sounds in these languages are the same
Individual written symbols represent words or syllables in these languages
Most consonants in these languages are represented with the same letters
According to Dr. Kilpatrick, whether a student with dyslexia is strong or struggling in language comprehension, what is the most likely reason for their poor word-level reading skills?
A decoding-core deficit
An attention issue
A vision issue
A phonological-core deficit
Which of the following is one of the five core phonological skills that support proficient reading?
Language comprehension
Phonemic blending
Long-term memory
Vocabulary acquisition
What must occur in order for an unfamiliar word to be added to the orthographic memory during silent reading for meaning?
It must be sounded out.
It must be looked up.
It must be spelled one to four times.
It must be encountered six to eight times.
What skills are essential for orthographic mapping to be implicit and automatic?
Rapid automatic naming of letters and numbers
Phonological awareness and decoding
Phonemic awareness and blending
Letter-sound and phonemic proficiency
Dr. Kilpatrick describes how we "map" different types of words. Which type of word will middle and secondary students most likely be "mapping" as they read for class or for pleasure?
Transparent
Regular
Opaque
Segmented
According to Dr. Kilpatrick, what is the "key" to reading with fluency?
A large sight vocabulary
Quick phonemic segmentation
Strong language comprehension
A large oral vocabulary
Phonological proficiency continues to grow after first grade. In what grade does this skill "level-out" and stop growing?
First or second
Second or third
Third or fourth
Fourth or fifth
We can identify approximately eighty percent of future struggling readers through letter name and phonological skill testing by what grade?
Preschool
Kindergarten
First
Second
In the final segment, Dr. Kilpatrick reviews the findings of recent intervention research. What practices were used along with ample time to practice reading in the most highly effective intervention groups?
Systematic training in phonics and advanced phonological awareness
Explicit and continuous vocabulary instruction
Comprehensive practice in language comprehension and reading fluency
Extensive use of shared-reading activities
What skill becomes automatic naturally after only a few days of practice, even when no emphasis has been put on automaticity?
Vocabulary acquisition
Phonological awareness
. Orthographic mapping
Phoneme manipulation
