Mod. 1 LETRS Discussion Questions TEST1|13 Questions and Answers
Why did the National Institute of Health and Human Development classify
reading difficulties as a major health concern? - -The inability to read well is
associated with social ills such as dropping out of school, delinquency,
inadequate health care, unwanted pregnancy, and chronic
underemployment. They cannot read prescription bottles, but can still open
them, cant read road signs, and cant read the instruction on anything.
-Discuss the types of writing systems in the world. (Pictogram, logograph,
syllabic symbols, and alphabetic symbols). How do they differ? How are they
the same? - -Pictograms-directly represent meaning, hieroglyphics.
Logographs-abstractly represent meaning, not sound, Chinese radicals.
Syllabic symbols-directly represent whole syllables, Cherokee. Alphabetic
symbols-represent consonants and vowels, or individual phonemes, Greek or
Russian.
-Discuss the 4-Part Processor system identifying the role that each processor
plays in reading. - -Phonological Processor-phoneme awareness, language
input, language output, speech sound system, phonics.
Orthographic Processor-visual input from printed words, reading input and
writing output, letter memory.
Meaning Processor-also called the semantic processor, interprets the
meaning of words in and out of context, vocabulary, looking at a mental
dictionary.
Context Processor-comprehend the text, looking at the word in print.
Fluency is when ALL these parts are working together.
-What is morphophonemic language? Why is it more difficult to learn it? - -
Morphology is the study of meaningful units in a language and how the units
are combined in word formation. Nat- is a root. Nature is a noun; natural is
an adjective; naturalist is a noun; naturally is an adverb. This also means
that it is a "deep" alphabetic writing system organized by both letter-sound
correspondences and morphology.
-How do oral language and written language differ? - -Speaking is natural,
reading and writing are not. Spoken language is "hard-wired" inside the
human brain. Oral language is the foundational skill for later reading and
writing.
-Discuss the terms phoneme, morpheme, and grapheme giving examples of
each. - -Phoneme-units of sound in a specified language that distinguish one
word from another (p,b,d, and t in English words pad, pat, bad, and bat.)
