Transcription

1 Grade Seven Phonemic Awareness, Word Recognition and Fluency Fluency continues to develop past the primary grades. Readers increase their rate of oral reading to near conversational pace. They show their appropriate use of pauses, pitch, stress and intonation that they are reading in clauses and sentence units to support comprehension. They gain control over a wider, complex sight vocabulary and over longer syntactic structures, so that they are able to read progressively more demanding texts with greater ease. Silent reading becomes considerably faster than oral reading and becomes the preferred, more efficient way to process everyday texts. Acquisition of Vocabulary Contextual Understanding 1. Define the meaning of unknown words through context clues and the author s use of comparison, contrast, definition, restatement and example. 2. Apply knowledge of connotation and denotation to determine the meaning of words. Concept\l Understanding 3. Infer word meanings through the identification of analogies and other word relationships, including synonyms and antonyms.
