Emergent Literacy and Word Analysis Skills
Analysis of Emergent Reading Skills
These are the skills that form the foundation of speaking, reading, writing and develop into conversational or traditional reading and writing.
Concepts of Print
The foundational, or emergent literacy skills involved in holding a book and turning the pages correctly, identifying a word or sentence, beginning and ending in the correct place on a page, having the eyes move in the correct direction, retelling a story, or relating the author's ideas to one's own experiences.
Letter Identification
The skill of naming a graphic symbol belonging to a standard alphabet.
Phonological Awareness
According to Richards and Leafstedt 2010, It is an umbrella term that includes phonemic awareness, but also includes the understanding that words are parts of sentences, that syllables are parts of words, and that words are made up of sound parts (onset and rime).
Word analysis skills
These are the skills that students use when identifying words as they are reading. They are used automatically by proficient readers allowing the reader to focus on comprehension.
Sight Word Recognition
These are words that can be recognized instantly and pronounced without resorting to the use of word analysis.
Picture Clues
This skill assists students in identifying words in the text and predicting story content and are useful in developing sight vocabulary.
Phonic Analysis
This involves using the sound of our language (consonant and vowel sounds) to decode words. Many of these sounds are learned through rhyme or other recognizable sound patterns.
Syllabic Analysis
This is about dividing words into syllables or pronounceable units that contain a vowel or vowel-like sound.
