Science Development Reading
Phonological awareness
-ability to recognize, identify, and manipulate individual phonemes (the smallest units of sound
in a language) in spoken words
-is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken
words
-understanding of different ways that oral language can be divided into smaller segments and
manipulated.
-the relationship between phonological awareness and the ability to read has been researched
for over 50 years.
-Phonological awareness is the foundational skill for reading. As the name implies, phonological
awareness is related to sounds.
-It is the ability to identify and distinguish between sounds in a word. It also helps in explaining
how sound works in different ways in a word.
Rhyming
- is a linguistic and poetic device in the English language where two or more words or syllables
have similar sounds at the end of their respective words.
- is commonly used in poetry, song lyrics, and even in everyday language to create patterns,
emphasize words, and enhance the overall auditory appeal of the text.
- The most common types of rhymes in English include perfect rhymes (where the final sounds
are identical, such as "cat" and "hat") and slant or near rhymes (where the final sounds are
similar but not identical, like "worn" and "warn")
Alliteration
-is a literary device in the English language where a series of words in a sentence or phrase
begin with the same consonant sound. It is used for stylistic and rhythmic purposes in writing
and speech.
-adds a musical quality to the language and can make phrases or sentences more memorable.
For example, in the phrase "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," the repeated "p"
sound at the beginning of each word is an example of alliteration.
Syllables
- are the individual units of sound within a word. In spoken language, words are often divided
into syllables, each of which typically contains one vowel sound, although there can be
exceptions. Syllables help determine the pronunciation and rhythm of words
Onset
- is the part of a single-syllable word before the vowel.
- Identifying the onset of a word helps readers decode and pronounce words more accurately
and is an essential skill for early literacy development, especially when learning to read and
spell.
Rime
- is the part of a word including the vowel and the letters that follows.
- are also known as "word families" or "phonograms."
- Rimes share the same or similar vowel and consonant sounds and are often used in early
literacy instruction to help children recognize common patterns in words.
Bat Onset: "b" Rime: "at" Dog Onset: "d" Rime: "og
Sun Onset: "s" Rime: "un" Black Onset: "bl" Rime: "ack"
