Session 5 Rise ELB18060

Phonological awareness involves a continuum of skills, but Dr. Farone focuses on phonemic awareness. What skill does the phrase "phonemic awareness" represent?

• Tracking words in spoken sentences and understanding their meaning

• Recognizing and manipulating the symbols in spoken and written words

• Counting the syllables and words in written sentences

• Separating and manipulating the individual sounds in spoken words

Lack of phonemic awareness is a sign of what disorder or disability?

• A visual processing impairment

• An auditory memory impairment

• Dyslexia

• Hyperlexia

What is the most powerful determinant of the likelihood of failure to read?

• Performing very poorly in spelling

• Lacking phonemic awareness skills

• Struggling with basic phonics skills

• Displaying low interest in reading

Which of the following was listed by the National Early Literacy Panel (NELP) as one of the variables that are predictive of later literacy development?

• Oral reading fluency

• Rapid automatic naming

• Auditory processing

• Grammar and spelling knowledge

While some older students may need intervention for the basics of phonological awareness, how should advanced phonological instruction be approached in the general education classroom?

• Practice with deletion and manipulation of phonemes

• Building new words with phoneme substitution

• Word study with multisyllabic or content-specific words

• Studying unfamiliar words with a dictionary

How many of the forty-four sounds in the English language are vowel sounds?

• Six

• Twelve

• Eighteen

• Twenty-six

What is the difference between consonant sounds and vowel sounds?

• Vowel symbols were created well after the symbols for consonants, as writing became a more common skill

• Consonants have Greek origins, while vowels were borrowed from the Roman alphabet

• Vowel sounds are blocked during articulation, while the airflow of consonants is unobstructed

• The airflow is blocked during the articulation of a consonant, while vowel sounds are unobstructed

What is every child expected to know by the middle of kindergarten?

• How to use self-correcting strategies when reading simple sentences

• All upper and lowercase letters and the sounds related to them

• Single-syllable and high-frequency words by sight

• How to count the number of syllables in words

According to the lesson structure shared by Dr. Farone, what should begin every lesson?

• Stating the purpose and objectives for the lesson

• Modeling the skill and guiding students in assisted practice

• Reviewing concepts and skills from previous lessons

• Listing the frameworks being explored within the lesson

What is the primary reason Dr. Farone recommends having students keep track of phonemes by tallying on the back of their hands?

• It is more engaging for students struggling with attention.

• It is more visible to a teacher watching for struggling students.

• It puts less focus on fine motor control.

• It keeps both of a child's hands busy.
