Knows that vowels can go together must know phonics

 Knows that vowels can go together
MUST KNOW!
Phonics: It’s rightful place
 4 major meaning making strategies
o Phonics: terminology, phonemic awareness, generalization
o Structural analysis: inflectional endings, affixes, Syllabication (every
syllable must have a vowel), compound words, contractions
o Sight words: high frequency
o Context clues: picture clues, semantic and syntactic
 Phonics: the set of relationships between phonology and orthography
o Connection about true sounds and truth of writing
o Consonants, consonant blends, and consonant diagraphs
o Consonants: speech sound in which the breath is at least partially
obstructed
o Vowels: a speech sound produced with open, unobstructed breath
o Rimes: everything after the vowel, including the vowel
o Rhymes: words that have some of the same sounds/phoneme
o Phonic generalizations: rules don’t always apply. Doesn’t always work
 The most useful phonic generalizations:
o The two sounds of /c/
 Followed by I, e, or y it is a soft c
 celery
o The two sounds of /g/
 Followed by I, e, or y it is (j sound) soft
 Goat, giraffe

o CVC Pattern
 Short vowel sound
 Dog, pig
o CVCe pattern
 Long vowel, silent e, vowel says own name
 Late, date
o CV pattern
 Long vowel most of the time but there are exceptions
 He, hi, so
 Exception: to, do
o R-Controlled Vowel
 R dominates the vowel
 Car, coaster, ear
o -igh
 Make the long I sound
 Sigh, high
o Kn- and wr-
 First letter is silent
 Know, wright, gnome
 Terminology:
o Affix: word parts such as prefixes, suffixes, or inflectional endings
o Blend: consonants put together that keep their sounds
o Consonant: restricted sound
o Diagraph: two consonants the make a new sound
o Diphthong: two vowels in one syllable that make a double sound
 Ex: oil, soil, boil
o Grapheme: letter and letter groups of the alphabet that are written
down and used to construct words; visual representation of letter
o Phoneme: a single speech sound
o Phonemic awareness: an awareness of sounds that are made by
different letters
o Phonics: system of representing word sounds with letters
o Syllable: a word part of a word that contains a vowel sound
o Vowel: the letters a, e, I, o, u and sometimes w and y. No obstruction
