Mtel: Foundations Of Reading

Front 1

alphabetic principle

Back 1

The understanding that spoken
language conveys thoughts in
words that are composed of
sounds (phonemes) specific to
that language

Front 2

Define phonemic awareness:

Back 2

Phonemes are the smallest units of
sound in spoken words. Phonemic awareness is the
ability to segment words into
sounds, blend them back
together, and manipulate the
sounds to make new words.

Front 3

Define letter-sound knowledge:

Back 3

Students with letter-sound
knowledge have learned the
common sounds of letters, letter combinations, and spelling patterns, and how they can blend the sounds of letters together to read words.

Front 4

Define alphabetic principle:

Back 4

The alphabetic principle
involves the understanding
that the sequence of sounds
in spoken words is
represented by the sequence
of letters in printed words.

Front 5

What are onsets and rimes?

Back 5

The onset is the initial consonant or consonant cluster. The rime is the vowel and consonant sounds that follow the onset. Onsets and rimes precede phonemes in the phonological awareness continuum.

Front 6

Where are syllables in the phonological awareness continuum?

Back 6

Syllables precede onsets and rimes and follow sentence segmentation.

Front 7

What is alliteration?

Back 7

Producing groups of words that begin with the same initial sound; alliteration and rhyming are at the beginning of the phonological awareness continuum.
