Document Summary
Two letter sounds that come together to make a different sound (ex: sh, ch, th) 2 co(cid:374)so(cid:374)a(cid:374)ts that slide together to (cid:373)ake a sou(cid:374)d that"s si(cid:373)ilar to the sou(cid:374)d of each consonant (ex: dr, bl, cr, fr) Midterm question: many people describe initial consonants as a key word frog. However, frog is not a good example of an initial consonant because fr is a blend. Information processing: minds are like computers, interactive meaning making, students create meaning as they read, meaning of text depends on student background. How students hold a book, can they point to a sentence/word, do they know print is read left to right, do they know which page to read first (left or right) One of the major reasons is that a student may be arabic. Students who learned arabic will learn to read right to left, instead of left to right. They also may never have been taught, exposed to many books, or they forgot.
