Question

Which of the following is another way to say “explicit and systematic”?

A Formal and fortuitous

B Rhyme and alliteration

C Specific and deliberate

D Kinesthetic and anticipatable

Answer

Choice C is the correct response. The explicit part of the phrase refers to the clear relationship
between the activity and the objective it’s planned to teach. The systematic part of the phrase refers
to the teacher’s intention for teaching the lesson, as will be measured when the student is given the
opportunity to perform the objective independently. Assessment informs the lesson and measures its
effectiveness.

It is likely that students will gain some understanding of the mathematical concept of one-to-one
correspondence around the same time that they are being taught phonological awareness lessons. If
you teach first grade and have noticed that a student isn’t catching on to the segmenting activities, it
may be that he or she hasn’t grasped one-to-one correspondence yet. Such students will not be able
to transfer manipulatives from one container to another while counting each manipulative aloud. That
is, they do not recognize that each number corresponds to one and only one of the manipulatives. It
is apparent that lacking that ability would have a negative effect on students' segmenting efforts in
phonological awareness activities.
