LETRS Unit 1 Session 1
phonics
the study of the relationships between letters and the sounds they represent; also used
as a descriptor for code-based instruction
phonemic awareness
the conscious awareness of the individual speech sounds (consonants and vowels) in
spoken syllables and the ability to consciously manipulate those sounds.
Five Essential Components of Reading Instruction
Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
pictographs
primitive writing system that directly represented or made pictures of the intended
meaning (hieroglyphics)
logographs
writing system where symbols were used to represent meanings rather than sound
(Chinese radicals and Mayan gylphs)
syllabic symbols
writing system that directly represented whole syllables (cherokee)
alphabetic writing
a system in which graphic signs represent individual consonants and vowels, or
phenomes
syllable
a unit of pronunciation that is organized around a vowel; it may or may not have a
consonant after the vowel
morphemes
The smallest units of meaning in a language; meaningful parts of words; it may be a
word or part of a word; it may be a single sound (plural /s/); one syllable (suffix -ful) or
multiple syllables (prefix inter-)
orthography
A writing system for representing language.
shallow orthography
the sound-symbol correspondences in the alphabetic writing system are regular and
predicable, with one sound represented by one symbol or letter (Spanish)
deep orthography
the sound-symbol correspondences in the alphabetic writing system represent both
morphemes (meaningful parts) and speech sound (English)
morphophonemic
a deep alphabetic writing system organized by both "sound-symbol" correspondences
and morphology (English orthography falls under this category) Consider examples that
share a consistently spelled root or meaningful part (morpheme) but have different
pronunciations of the root: compress, compression (s, or sh) rite or ritual (t or ch)
cognate

, a word in one language that shares a common ancestor and meanings with a word from
another language; promblema or diagrama
metalinguistic awareness
the ability to think about and reflect on the structure of language itself The invention of
the alphabet was an achievement in metalinguistic awareness.
Simple View of Reading (SVR)
word recognition x language comprehension = reading comprehension
word recognition
the accurate and fast retrieval of decoded word forms; essential for the development of
reading (SVR)
language comprehension
listening comprehension or the linguistic processes involved in the comprehension of
oral language (SVR)
decoding
The ability to translate a word from print to speech, usually by employing knowledge of
sound symbol correspondences; also the act of deciphering a new word by sounding it
out.

language, so there is less need for it to be highly structured.

such as stories, to follow established organizational conventions.
