Which approach to phonics instruction presents letter-sound relationships explicitly and in a planned sequence?
Answer: Systematic and explicit phonics
Systematic and explicit phonics instruction introduces letter-sound correspondences in a carefully planned, direct sequence.
A student reads 'phone' correctly by recognizing that 'ph' makes the /f/ sound. This demonstrates knowledge of:
Answer: A consonant digraph
A consonant digraph is two consonant letters that together represent a single phoneme, such as 'ph' = /f/.
The CVCe pattern (as in 'make,' 'ride,' 'hope') generally signals that the vowel will be:
Answer: Long
In the CVCe pattern, the final silent 'e' typically signals that the preceding vowel is long.
When decoding an unfamiliar multisyllabic word, a student should first try to:
Answer: Identify morphemes such as prefixes, suffixes, and root words
Breaking a multisyllabic word into known morphemes (prefixes, roots, suffixes) is an efficient and accurate decoding strategy.
Which pair of words illustrates a minimal pair used in phonics instruction?
Answer: cat / bat
A minimal pair differs by only one phoneme; 'cat' and 'bat' differ only in the initial phoneme, helping students hear sound distinctions.
A student spells 'train' as 'trane.' This error suggests the student:
Answer: Understands sound-symbol correspondence but has not mastered the 'ai' vowel team
The spelling 'trane' follows a plausible phonics pattern (CVCe), showing phonics knowledge but not mastery of the 'ai' vowel team.
