Concepts About Print Test - ✔A phrase coined by Marie Clay (1975) including the concepts of
directionality (books go front to back, text reads top to bottom, right to left), words are things
we read, letters stand for sounds we say etc. Clay's inventory includes 24 aspects of "concepts
about print" that children in the emerging literacy stage develop on their way to being readers.
Concepts About Print Strategies - ✔Read aloud to students, the Shared Book
Experience, Language Experience Approach/Group Experience Chart, Environmental
Print, Print-rich environment, direct, explicit teaching
Ways to Assess Concepts About Print - ✔Concepts About Print Test (Clay), Basal
reading series concepts about print tests, informal test by teacher using picture books,
observation records
Teaching the Names of Letters (Letter Recognition) Strategies - ✔Use the names of the
children and favorite things, singing the alphabet, use of ABC books, tactile and kinesthetic,
practice writing both upper and lower case letters
spelling stage- precommunicative - ✔The child uses letters from the alphabet but shows
no knowledge of letter-sound correspondences (e.g. The letter M used for the word Jessica).
spelling stage- semiphonetic - ✔The child begins to understand letter-sound correspondence--
that sounds are assigned to letters. At this stage, the child often employs rudimentary logic,
using single letters, for example, to represent words, sounds, and syllables (e.g., U for you).
, spelling stage- phonetic - ✔Use a letter or group of letters to represent every speech sound that
they hear in a word. Although some of their choices do not conform to conventional English
spelling, they are systematic and easily understood. (e.g. The letters TAK for take and EN for
in.)
spelling stage- transitional - ✔The speller begins to assimilate the conventional alternative for
representing sounds, moving from a dependence on phonology (sound) for representing words to
a reliance on visual representation and an understanding of the structure of words. Some
examples are EGUL for eagle and HIGHEKED for hiked.
spelling stage- conventional - ✔The speller knows the basic rules. The child's
generalizations about spelling and knowledge of exceptions are usually correct.
levels of reading comprehension - ✔literal- what the text directly states
inferential- What the text means: the meanings drawn from the literal level
evaluative- What the text tells us about our world: the ideas that you can draw about the world
outside of the story
