Academic Language The language used in textbooks, in classrooms, and on tests Accuracy (part of fluency) Reading words in text with no errors Affix A prefix or suffix Alliteration Repetition of initial consonant sounds Alphabetic Principle An understanding that letters and letter patterns represent the sounds of spoken words Anecdotal Record An informal, written record, based on observations the teacher makes of a students progress/activities throughout the day Antonym A word that means the opposite of another word Automaticity Reading without conscious effort or attention to decoding Basal Reader A kind of book that is used to teach reading. It is based on an approach in which words are used as a whole. The words are used over and over in each succeeding lesson. New words are added regularly. Background Knowledge Your personal experiences, what you already know. Base Word (free morpheme) A unit of meaning that can stand alone as a whole word (e.g., friend, pig). Blending Combining parts of a spoken word into a whole representation of the word (e.g., /p/ /oo/ /l/ to form pool) Choral Reading Reading aloud in unison with a whole class or group of students (builds fluency) Chunking Breaking words/sentences into meaningful parts (e.g., /yes/ /ter/ /day/ for yesterday) Cloze Eliminating words from a passage and a student must use context to fill in the blank with the appropriate word Comprehension understanding what one is reading (the ultimate GOAL of reading) Consonant Every letter in the alphabet except a, e, I ,o ,u, and sometimes y and w Consonant Blend Two or more consonants grouped together in which each sound is heard (e.g., /bl/ in block; /str/ in string).

Ex. reading left to right, top to bottom, words are made of letters, use of spaces between words, upper case letters, spelling patterns, etc. Core Instruction instruction provided to all students in the class, usually guided by a comprehensive core reading program Corrective Feedback When an error occurs, the teacher immediately attends to it by scaffolding instruction Semantics Meaning of words and sentences D.E.A.R Drop Everything And Read Decodable Text Text in which a high proportion of words (80%-90%) comprise sound-symbol relationships that have already been taught Decodable Words These words contain phonic elements that were previously taught Decoding The act of sounding out a new word Diagnostic Assessment Digraphs two letters that represent on sound (e.g., /ea/ bread; /ch/ chin; /ng sing) Diphthong The sound produced by combining two vowels in to a single syllable or running together the sound (e.g., ow, oy, ou, and oi)
