LETRS Unit 2 | 65 Questions And Answers
Why did the National Institute of Health and Human Development
classify reading difficulties as a major health concern? Correct
Ans ➡ The
inability to read well is associated with social ills such as dropping
out of school, delinquency, inadequate health care, unwanted
pregnancy, and chronic underemployment.
They cannot read prescription bottles, but can still open them, cant
read road signs, and cant read the instruction on anything.
Discuss the types of writing systems in the world. (Pictogram,
logograph, syllabic symbols, and alphabetic symbols). How do they
differ? How are they the same? Correct Ans ➡ Pictograms-
directly represent meaning, hieroglyphics.
Logographs-abstractly represent meaning, not sound, Chinese radicals.
Syllabic symbols-directly represent whole syllables, Cherokee.
Alphabetic symbols-represent consonants and vowels, or individual
phonemes, Greek or Russian.
What is morphophonemic language? Why is it more difficult to learn
it? Correct Ans ➡ Morphology is the study of meaningful units in
a language and how the units are combined in word formation.
Nat- is a root.
Nature is a noun; natural is an adjective; naturalist is a noun;
naturally is an adverb.
This also means that it is a "deep" alphabetic writing system
organized by both letter-sound correspondences and morphology.
How do oral language and written language differ?
Correct Ans ➡
Speaking is natural, reading and writing are not.
Spoken language is "hard-wired" inside the human brain.
Oral language is the foundational skill for later reading and writing.
Discuss the terms phoneme, morpheme, and grapheme giving
examples of each..? Correct Ans ➡ Phoneme-units of sound in
a specified language that distinguish one word from another (p,b,d,
and t in English words pad, pat, bad, and bat.)
, Morpheme-unit of language that cannot be further divided (in, come, -
ing, forming incoming.)
Grapheme-a unit (as a letter or digraph) of a writing system.
What is the three cueing system? Correct Ans ➡ Model that
proposed that word recognition depended on three systems of
linguistic cues that reside in a text.
(1) a graphophonic (visual) system;
(2) a semantic (meaning) system; and
(3) a syntactic system that provides linguistic context to process
words in sentences.
This model overemphasizes the usefulness of context and meaning in
word recognition. It fosters dependence on pictures, prereading
rehearsal, and context to figure out words.
What are Chall's reading stages? Why is it an important item to
consider? Correct Ans ➡ The reading stages of Chall are still
useful in understanding how the challenges of learning and teaching
reading change over time.
Exposure to text and reading practice are critical in moving the
growth process along.
Stages are: Prereading, Initial Reading or Alphabetic Decoding,
Confirmation and Fluency, Reading to Learn, Multiple Points of View,
Construction and Reconstruction.
What are Ehri's phases of reading and spelling development? Why is
it important to understand these phases? Correct Ans ➡
Widely referenced because
their description rests on multiple experiments conducted over
many years that have been replicated by other researchers.
The ability to recognize many words "by sight" during fluent reading
rests on the ability to map phonemes to graphemes or to master the
alphabetic principle.
The phases are: Prealphabetic (incidental visual cues,
symbols), Early Alphabetic (letter knowledge and partial
phoneme awareness),
Later Alphabetic (early sight-word learning, phoneme-grapheme
correspondence, and complete phoneme awareness), and
