Five basic reading behaviors teachers look for in students: - Correct Answer Do students know how to
hold the book?
Can students match speech to print?
Do students know the difference between letters and words?
Do students know that print conveys meaning?
Can students track print from left to right?
In order for students to understand concepts of print, they must understand: - Correct Answer -all text
contains a message
-the English language has a specific structure
-in order to decode words and read text, students must understand that structure
Instructional strategies to help students understand the reading process: - Correct Answer -Use big
books in classroom (Model reading as the students gather around you in a group. As you read, use a
pointer to point to each word. Discuss illustrations related to the text.)
-Use a classroom rich in print (1.Having words from a familiar rhyme or poem in a pocket chart lends
itself to an activity where the students arrange the words in the correct order and then read the rhyme.
This reinforces directionality of print, punctuation, capitalization and matching print to speech. 2.Use
highlighters to locate upper and lower case letters or specific words. 3.Have plenty of books available in
the classroom. Observe how children hold the book and how they track and read words.)
-Use Word Wall
-Teach sounds of the letters (In addition to teaching letters, teach the sound of letters)
Things to look for when observing/assessing reading: - Correct Answer -Student responses to reading
conferences, such as pointing to letters or words
-Ask students where they should begin reading and how they know to stop or pause, depending on the
punctuation
-Student behavior when holding a book (does he hold it right side up, does he read from left to right,
does he stop to look at pictures to confirm meaning of the text)
, Meta-linguistic abilities - Correct Answer the conscious awareness of sound, meaning, and the practical
nuances of language
Meta-linguistic abilities children acquire through early involvement in reading activities (being read aloud
to as young children): - Correct Answer 1. Word consciousness (first can tell the story through pictures,
gradually realize the connection between spoken and printed word, letter and word discrimination)
2. Language and conventions of print (learn how to hold a book, where to begin to read, left to right
motion, how to continue from one line to the next)
3. Functions of print (discover that print can be used for a variety of purposes and functions, including
entertainment and information)
Word discrimination - Correct Answer establishes how well a person discriminates b/w words by having
the person correctly repeat monosyllabic words
Learning approach to language development - Correct Answer Language develops from learning the
rules of language structures and applying them through imitation and reinforcement. This process also
assumed that cognitive and social developments were independent of each other.
Linguistic approach to language development - Correct Answer Language ability is innate and develops
through human maturation.
Cognitive approach to language development - Correct Answer Children acquire knowledge of linguistic
structures after they have acquired the cognitive structures necessary to process language.
Socio-cognitive approach to language development - Correct Answer 1970s. Conversation. Emphasis on
verbal communication as medium for language expression resulted in the inclusion of speech activities in
most language art curricula. Appropriateness of language is as important for understanding as semantics
and syntactics.
Phonemic awareness - Correct Answer An exclusively oral language activity. Phonemic awareness refers
to the understanding that spoken words are made up of individual sounds called phonemes. Instruction
in phonemic awareness should be viewed as an important element of a balanced reading program in the
early elementary grades.
