Phonics Quiz Week 3

Front 1

Analytic Phonics

Back 1

A whole-to-part phonics approach that emphasizes starting with whole words and identifying individual sounds as parts of those words. Efforts are generally made to avoid pronouncing letter sounds in isolation; also know as implicit phonics.

Front 2

Auditory Discrimination

Back 2

The ability to hear similarities and differences between sounds as they occur in spoken words.

Front 3

Closed Syllable

Back 3

Any syllable ending with consonant phoneme. Examples:

come /m/;

love /v/;

ran /n/.

Front 4

Compound Word

Back 4

A word made up of two or more base words.

Front 5

Consonant Blend (and known examples of types of words with consonant blends)

Back 5

Sounds in a syllable represented by two or more letters that are blended together without losing their identity.
Examples:
blue /b/ /l/;
brown /b/ /r/;
twig /t/ /w/;
street /s/ /t/ /r/;
flip /f/ /l/

Front 6

Decoding

Back 6

The process of determining the pronunciation of an unknown word.

Front 7

Digraph

Back 7

Two letters that stand for a single phoneme. Examples:
thin /th/;
each /ē/;
shop /sh/;
boy /oi/;

look /oo/;

rang /ng/;

few /oo/

It is simply a grapheme of two letters.

Front 8

Diphthong

Back 8

A single vowel sound made up of a blend or two vowel sounds in immediate sequence and pronounced in one syllable.

Examples:

/oi/ in oil and boy

/ou/ in house and owl

Phonetics would classify some single letter vowel as diphthongs. For the purposes of teaching reading, however, only /oi/ and /ou/ are considered diphthongs.

Front 9

Grapheme

Back 9

A letter or combination of letters that represents a phoneme.

Examples:

the phoneme /b/ in bat is represented b the grapheme b;

the phoneme /f/ in phone is represented by the grapheme ph.

There are over 200 different ways to spell the phonemes.

Example:
/f/ can that the for of f in fine, gh in cough, and ph in elephant, three different graphemes representing the same phoneme.

Front 10

Onset

Back 10

The consonant sound(s) of a syllable that comes before the vowel sound.

Front 11

rime

Back 11

The part of a syllable that includes the vowel sound and any consonant sound(s) that comes after it. The graphic representation of this is referred to as a phonogram. For example, in the word mat, the onset is /m/, and the rime is /at/.

Front 12

Open Syllable

Back 12

Any syllable ending with a vowel phoneme. Examples:

see /ē/;

may /ā/;

boy /oi/;

auto /ō/.

Front 13

Phoneme Blending

Back 13

The process of recognizing isolated speech sounds and the ability to pronounce the word for which they stand.

Front 14

Phoneme Segmentation

Back 14

The ability of isolating all the sounds of a word.

Front 15

Phoneme

Back 15

The smallest sound unit of a language that distinguishes one word from another.

Examples:

The phoneme /h/ distinguishes hat from at;

the words tell and yell are distinguished by their initial phonemes /t/ and /y/, respectively.

Front 16

Phonemic Awareness

Back 16

The ability to recognize spoken words as a sequence of individual sounds.

Front 17

Phonics

Back 17

A method in which basic phonetics, the study of human speech sounds, is used to teach beginning reading.

Front 18

Syllable

Back 18

A unit of pronunciation consisting of a vowel alone or a vowel with one or more consonants. There can be only one vowel phoneme (sound) in each syllable.

Front 19

Synthetic Phonics

Back 19

A part-to-whole phonics approach that emphasizes the learning of individual sounds, often in isolation, and combining them to form words; also known as explicit phonics.

Front 20

Rule for hard "c" and soft "c"

Back 20

"c" represents two phonemes: /k/ and /s/.

City /s/

coat /k/

rice /s/

pact /k/

receive /s/

action /k/

When the "C" represents /s/, it is commonly called the soft "c."

When it represents /k/, it is commonly called the hard "c" and is usually taught first.

Front 21

Rule for hard "g" and soft "g"

Back 21

"g" represents two phonemes: /g/ and /j/.

go /g/

gym /j/

agile /j/

gull /g/

wage /j/

nag /g/

When "g" represents /j/, it is commonly called the soft "g."

When it represents /g/, it is commonly called the hard "g" and is generally taught first because it occurs more frequently.

Front 22

Syllabication rules in chapter 7. There are nine major points.

Back 22

1. Every syllable contains only 1 vowel

2. Most affixes (pre and suf) are syllables.

3. In a compound word, the syllabic division usually comes between the words of which it is compressed. Divided compound words can be syllabicated according to other generalizations.

4. When a vowel ends in -le preceded by a consonant, the consonant plus -le make up a syllable. *usually contains the schwa sound*

5. When two vowel letters appear together they usually represent one sound and should be viewed as a single grapheme when syllabicating.

6. Letters representing consonant digraphs, especially "th," "ch," and "sh," and consonant blends are treated as a single consonants and are not separated when words are broken into syllables.

7. although double consonant letters are generally separated when words are broken into syllables via writing, the sound will be represented in only one syllable.

8. When two consonant letters are between two vowel letters, a syllabic division often occurs between the consonants.

9. When there is one constant letter between two vowel letters, the consonant often goes with the next syllable.

In two syllable words, the accent is usually on the first syllable and and prefixes and suffixes are generally not accented.
