Three Key Principals of Reading Instruction
E - Explicit
M - Multi-Sensory
S - Systematic (reduces the cognitive load for students)
What is the Big Five?
- Phonemic Awareness
- Phonics
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension
What is Dyslexia?
- Is a language-based reading disability
- Is synonymous with specific learning disability
- Is NOT seeing words or letters backwards
Definition: A specific learning disability that is neurologically-based and
characterized by difficulties with decoding and encoding that are the result of a
deficit in the phonological component of language and is often unexpected in
relation to other cognitive abilities and effective classroom instruction, secondary
consequences may include problems in comprehension.
3 Weaknesses in Children with Reading Disabilities
- phonological awareness (most common)
- word retrieval
- working memory
What is a consonant?
A closed sound (formed by obstructing the flow of air out of your mouth fully or
partially).
What is a Vowel?
An open sound; nucleus of every syllable
What are the short vowels?
/ă/ apple / ĭ/ itch /ŭ/ up
/ĕ/ egg /ŏ/ octopus /oo/ book /aw/ bought
What are the long vowels?
/ā/ ape / ī/ ice /ū/ cube
/ē/ eat /ō/ oak /oo/ moon
What is a Syllable?
A pronounceable group of letters containing a vowel.
cel e brate dis rup tive un hap py par tic u lar
What is a Digraph?
Two consonants that when combined make one new speech sound.
/ch/ /sh/ /wh/ /th/ /ph/ /ck/
What is a Blend?
Two or more consonants that when combined make a certain sound, however, each consonant retains its original sound. Also called consonant cluster:
/br/ /cl/ /st/ /pr/ /spr/
What is a Diphthong?
Two vowels, when combined make a certain sound and not necessarily the sound of either vowel alone. Vowels that glide from one to another.
/oi/ as in boy and boil & /ou/ as in shout and cow
Voiced and Unvoiced Consonant Pairs
• Two sounds with the same manner and placement of production
• The voiced sound is produced using the vocal cords; the unvoiced is produced without the use of the vocal cords

What are Phonemes?
Smallest unit of sound which changes one word to another.
What is the definition of Phonics?
A reading method that stresses letter/sound relationships between reading
and spelling
What is Phonology?
The rule system by which phoneme sounds are sequenced and uttered to make words. For examples, English words do not end in v. /sw/ is an acceptable consonant blend, but /gf/ and /sj/ are not.
What is Phonetics?
The study of linguistic speech sounds, how they are produced and perceived. For example, to make the sound /f/ you must use your lower lip and upper teeth. There are 40-44 speech that can be spelled over 250 ways.
What is Morphology?
The study of meaningful units of language (morphemes) and how they are combined in words.
What are morphemes?
A single unit of meaning. This includes prefixes, suffixes, and roots/bases. For example : er = “one who” as in “teacher” is “one who teaches”
Root vs. Base
A base can stand alone as a word itself, whereas a root cannot.
What is Syntax?
The rule system governing sentence formation. For example, adjectives have a specific order in English: quantity or number, quality or opinion, size, age, shape, color, proper adjective, noun.
What is Semantics?
The study of words and phrase meaning, including idioms, figurative language, antonyms and synonyms.
What is Orthography?
Spelling or writing systems connected to oral language. The letters give you information, for example pear has a different meaning than pair.
What is Schwa?
- reduced or condensed vowel sound; often in the unaccented syllable
- Most commonly heard vowel sound in spoken English
- source of many spelling difficulties
