What is Graphophonic Cueing? ✔✔(phonics/visual) relates to the letter sound or spelling patterns./ Does it look right? What are Semantic Maps? ✔✔Allows students to conceptually explore their knowledge of a new word by mapping it with other related words or phrases. Semantic refers to the relationships between and among words. What is Receptive Language? ✔✔the words you understand when listening to other people. What is Expressive Language? ✔✔the words that you understand when you talk and write. Smaller than your receptive vocabulary. Five common Text Structures for Informational Text: ✔✔Description - details to form images. Sequence - Events in the order they happen. Comparison/Contrast - Discuss 2 ideas/events Cause/Effect - Provide explanation Problem/Solution - Identify problem and solution. What are the 3 tiers of vocabulary? ✔✔Tier 1 - basic words - rarely require instruction. Tier 2 - High Frequency words - mature language users. Found across a variety of domains. Tier 3 - Low-frequency words - content-specific words. Learning of a new word involves several levels of knowledge: ✔✔Unknown word - "I don't know the word." Initial Recognition - "I have seen/heard the word but don't know what it means." Partial Word Knowledge - "I know one meaning, but cannot use it in my writing." Full Word Knowledge - "I know more than one meaning and can use it in my writing." Structural Analysis ✔✔Decoding of Multisyllable words Comprehension definition ✔✔The process of constructing meaning using both the author's text and the reader's background knowledge. Readers interact with the text in the process of constructing meaning. Literary Device - Allusion ✔✔A reference to a historical or literary figure or event Literary Device - Expository Text ✔✔Non-fiction, informational or factual text. Literary Device - Irony/Satire ✔✔Writer says the opposite of what he means. Authentic Assessment ✔✔based on student reading and writing (portfolio) Norm-Referenced ✔✔AKA standardized test (high-stakes). Students are COMPARED to a sample group. Stanford-Binet, Woodcock Reading Mastery Test. Norm-Referenced - scaled scores ✔✔Continuous ranking from 1-999. Used to track long-term growth. Basis for converting scores to percentiles, stanines and grade equivalents. Norm-referenced -2 forms of scaled scores ✔✔Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) Lexile Framework Norm-referenced - Raw score ✔✔total number correct on an assessment. Norm-referenced - Percentile rank ✔✔ranking of percentages from 1-99 that a score is equal to. Norm-referenced - Stanine ✔✔a ranking of 1-9 for which a percentile is converted Norm-referenced - Grade Equivalent ✔✔grade and month which the standard score converts. Criterion-referenced ✔✔AKA informal assessments. Students are compared with a criterion or standard. Benchmarks are used. DRA, F&P, IRI Criterion-referenced - IRI ✔✔Informal Reading Inventory - series of reading passages that become more difficult. Much info on reading comprehension, phonics etc. Criterion-referenced - IRI 2 parts ✔✔graded word lists graduated reading passages IRI - levels ✔✔Independent 96-99% Instructional 94-95% Frustration 90% and less IRI Listening Comprehension ✔✔70% or better Reliability ✔✔measure of consistency. If given over and over, will it yield the same results? Validity ✔✔Does the test measure what it is supposed to? Construct Validity ✔✔is the extent to which a test measures a particular aspect of reading. Content Validity ✔✔is the extent to which the assessment aligns with the actual tasks that students are taught in the classroom. Correlation Coefficient ✔✔high score = .80 low score = .45 Standard Error of Measurement ✔✔Statistical approximation of how much a test may vary if given over and over. Retelling Rubric SCPIST ✔✔Setting Characters Problem Important Events Solution Theme Shared Reading ✔✔Usually with Big Books. Book is read many times over several days.
