Heterographs- Dear, deer—spell differently with different meanings but have the same pronounations

Homographs-The Dove dove—spelled the same with different meanings some have same pronouncation and some have different pronoucation.

Research Methods for study of reading: (reaction time)

Lexical decision task—see if group of letters create a word (reaction time)

Naming Task--saying the word out loud (for speed)

Semantic priming effect (Meyer and Schvaneld, 71)—pairing words closely related in meaning like doctor and nurse and words less closely related. Sig. closely related had faster recall.

Dual Route Cascaded Model (COLTHEAT ET AL 2001) computational model-cog. Processes readin words and non words differ—

Dual Route 2—othograph system (visual system: familiar or non familiar string of words)—prthograph input lexicon (has 2 outputs—phonological output (pronounication) and semantic system (meanin)—

    Angelina achieved a scored of 185/220 or 84% on the Basic sight words and 113/143 or 79% on the basic sight word phrases, she was unable to demonstrate mastery of either list. Angelina’s miscues did not fall under the same phonics pattern. She had difficulty with medial sounds, digraphs, ending sounds, omitting ending sounds and serval words were omitted. Some of her miscues involve switching the medial sounds in words such as “will” for “well,” and “wish” for “wash.” Angelina also had difficulty decoding words with digraphs such as, “when” for “them,” and “whose” for “those.” On several words Angelina substituted the ending sounds on words such as, “that” for “thank,” and “much” for “must.” Angelina also had difficulty with sight words…

    Cormac’s raw score (number right) of 26 words on the pretest for the Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT) placed him in the 43rd percentile. His score at the 43rd percentile is considered to be slightly below average. Cormac’s miscues were visually similar to the target words. For example he read “fist” for “first” and “have” for “heavy” and “wat” for “what. ” Several of the words Cormac’s miscues included errors in digraphs or blends suggesting difficulty in recognizing and reading words with digraphs and blends in the beginning, middle, or final part in the words.…

    In the chapter it goes in depth with phonemic awareness and phonics. Both of them makes phonological instruction which needs to be taught explicit. Phonemic Awareness is spoken words that are made up of individual sounds; each sound is called phonemes. Phonics is the comparing the sounds to the letters. Once both are taught children need to reflect on words dealing with phonological knowledge.…

    Text to Speech Engine

    A Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesizer is a computer-based system that should be able to read any text aloud, whether it was directly introduced in the computer by an operator or scanned and submitted to an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system. Let us try to be clear. There is a fundamental difference between the system we are about to discuss here and any other talking machine (as a cassette-player for example) in the sense that we are interested in the automatic production of new sentences. This definition still needs some refinements. Systems that simply concatenate isolated words or parts of sentences, denoted as Voice Response Systems, are only applicable when a limited vocabulary is required (typically a few one hundreds of words), and when the sentences to be pronounced respect a very restricted structure, as is the case for the announcement of arrivals in train stations for instance. In the context of TTS synthesis, it is impossible (and luckily useless) to record and store all the words of the language. It is thus more suitable to define Text-To-Speech as the automatic production of speech, through a grapheme-to-phoneme transcription of the sentences to utter.…

    Phonologica Awareness

    • 1643 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Phonological awareness is the understanding that oral language can be manipulated and broken down into many smaller components (Chard & Dickson, 1999). Manipulation of sounds refers to adding, subtracting, and substituting phonemes (smaller components of words) to make different sounds. Sentences can be broken down into words, words into syllables, and syllables into smaller components (e.g., onset and rime, and individual phonemes like /f/) as illustrated in Table 1 (Goswami, 1990). Phonemic awareness is a subset of phonological awareness; it is an understanding that individual words are made up of phonemes or individual sounds and can be changed and manipulated by blending, segmenting, and substituting different letters in the word to make different sounds (Chard & Dickson, 1999). Phonological awareness and phonemic awareness differ distinctively from each other. Phonological is oral and auditory manipulation of words whereas phonemic is the manipulation of the written letters and sounds (Chard & Dickson, 1999). Manipulation of oral and written words is important for children to develop eventual fluency in reading. The lack of good quality phonological/phonemic awareness is a cause of young children developing eventual reading disability. The ability to distinguish between different phonemes as an infant is referred to as the universal phonemic sensitivity. Experiments conducted showed that this ability decreases as age increases (Werker, 2010). Therefore, it is important for children to develop their phonemic awareness at a young age.…

    Phonemic awareness is the first essential reading element that is introduced and taught in this unit. The unit first begins with the practice of looking at photo cards and explaining to the students how each word begins with a specific sound. These sounds match up to certain letters. This practice allows students to start working with letter sounds and learn how when you remove the…

    Phonological awareness is the ability to attend explicitly to the phonological structure of spoken words. Failure to develop an adequate vocabulary, understanding of print concepts, or phonological awareness during the early (preschool) years constitutes some risks for reading difficulties. Phonological awareness skills are believed to be predictive of a child’s ease in learning to read. More than 20 percent of student’s struggle with some aspects phonological awareness, while 8-10 percent exhibit significant delays (Adams et al. 2.). Phonemic awareness is the insight that every spoken word can be conceived as a sequence of phonemes. It is the understanding that spoken language can be analyzed into strings of separate words and that words can be analyzed in sequences of syllables and phonemes within syllables. Young children begin to notice sound similarities in the words they hear. People who can apart words into sounds, recognize their identity, and put…

    Phonemic Awareness

    Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate phonemes, which is the smallest part of a spoken language. From a young age, most children attain the knowledge that language is used to express thoughts. According to the National Reading Panel (2000), research indicates that phonemic awareness and letter knowledge are key predictors to student’s success in learning to read, as phonemic awareness is both an understanding and a skill (Phillips and Torgesen, 2006).…

    In the first experiment, the “Ss” were divided into two groups. Two types of stimuli were used on them: national names which were presented digitally through PowerPoint (CS names) and words which were presented orally by the instructors called “E” (US words). For the second stimulus, the “Ss” were required to repeat the word out loud immediately after “E” had pronounced it. Two tasks were first given to the “Ss.” The first task was to learn five visually presented national names, each shown four times in random order, and “Ss” were required to recall them in order to test their learning. The second task was to study 33 auditorily presented words. In order to test their learning, after repeating each word aloud after “E”, “Ss” were then presented 12 pairs of words and they were required to recognize which one of each pair had just been presented by…

    Teaching decoding provides students with the keys to unlock new words. Teaching the regular phonetic patterns of English can do this. These rules can be applied to words with which the student is already familiar. New words are then introduced beginning with simple words and working through more complex words. Finally, irregular phonemic patterns can be introduced and eventually mastered.…
