ALTA CALP: Questions & Correct Answers
Analytic Instruction - ✔ Instruction that separates the whole into its
constituent parts to reveal the relationships of the parts.
Analytic Phonics - ✔ separates the whole word into its constituent parts so students can deduce the phonic relationships of the separate orthographic patterns
arbitrary learning - ✔ new learning that has no logical connection to already acquired knowledge or practical relationships
bottom-up processing - ✔ accurate sequential reading of every word. comprehension is text driven rather than concept
concept-driven processing - ✔ reading uses own experience. top down process.
Diagnostic Teaching - ✔ use of formal and informal assessment to measure progress expected by performance standars
Embedded Phonics - ✔ phonological awareness and phonics taught implicitly through the reading of real words in text
Explicit Instruction - ✔ direct instruction
Fernald Method - ✔ technique for learning words that involves the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile (VAKT) modalities. The student looks at a word while saying and tracing it.
Implicit Instruction - ✔ Implied, indirect teaching, no specific guidance
Synthetic Instruction - ✔ present the parts of the language and then
teaches how the parts work together to make a whole. Part of a MSLE Program
