|
What are graphophonemic Errors and what could be the students problem
|
errors are related to sound-symbol relationships for english, such as reading feather for father. The words sound alike, but feather wouldn't make sense in a sentence where the correct word is father. (reading word by word and depending too much on phonics to decode each word, or reading a passage that's too difficult need to be taught contextual clues)
|
|
What are Semantic Errors and what skills do they need to be taught?
|
meaning related errors, such as reading dad for father (needs to be taught to use phonics skills to be sure that every word read makes sense from a graphophonemic sense)
|
|
What are syntactic Errors and what type of error would this be and what do they need to focus on?
|
syntax is the way words are placed in order in sentences. A syntactic error would be reading into for through. (needs to pay more attention to phonics)
|
|
What is the role of phonological and phonemic awareness in reading development?

Acquisition of phonemic awareness is highly predictive of success in learning to read. phonemic awareness in kindergarten correlates strongly with the level of reading achievement.
|
|
What are the ways to teach phonological awareness of larger units of language?
|
word awareness
syllable awareness word blending syllable blending onset and rime blending |
|
How would you teach phonemic awareness?
|
sound isolation

|
|
What are the concepts about print?
