Word Analysis
Definition

knowledge about our written language and strategies that permit you to determine both the sounds of words and their meanings as you read.

 

Develops as children acquire abilities in phonological and phonemis awareness, phonics, context use, sight word knowledge, etc.

Term
Phonological Awareness
Definition
when children are aware of language as an object, can manipulate and use words. 

It is the word, syllable level of understanding
Term
Phonemic Awareness
Definition
being able to hear phonemes (smallest unit of sound) as individual sounds

includes sound matching, sound blending, sound isolation, sound addition, sound substitution, and sound subtraction

phonemes
Definition
the smallest unit of sound
