Subway for 3

A sixth grader who is advanced in most areas of reading has difficulty completing assigned reading selections. He appears motivated when he begins reading, but he has difficulty keeping his attention on the task at hand. Which of the following would be his teacher's best initial strategy for addressing this difficulty?

• adapting the student's reading assignments to reduce their complexity and level of cognitive challenge

• telling the student that his grades will be based in part on his ability to improve his concentration when he works on reading assignments

• breaking down the student's reading assignments into small steps and helping him learn to monitor his own attention and progress.

• managing the student's reading assignments so that he generally has only one to work on at any given time

Effective instructional delivery of content needs to be:

• Planned and standardized

• Direct and explicit

• Approved and relatable

• Fun and engaging

What kind of accommodations should you offer a student with an iep during standardized testing? Whatever accommodations are provided during class instruction:

• Stick to the IEP (not the exact words but close)

EL's family and teacher were in a meeting. EL family doesn’t speak any English, what advice should the teacher give to the parents about helping the student become a fluent reader?

  (Zarrillo Pg.11)

How can a teacher best ensure reading practice gets done at home?

• Teach the students how to search for free books on the internet.

• Encourage children to check out books from their local library.

• Allow children to take home books from the classroom library

  (Reading logs, reading check-ins to discuss books they are reading, and ask open ended questions)

• Remind parents about the importance of at-home reading.(were these the exact answers?) 

A student reads a book independently. After, he answers 10 comprehension questions. He gets 5 correct. What is his reading level?

  (A student's frustration level is a level at which fluency and expression are lacking. The student is reading word-for-word, halting, and with less than 90% accuracy and less than 60% comprehension)

When creating lesson plans to promote specific reading skills, a teacher should make sure that:

• Each planned activity for students is designed to strengthen two or more specific reading skill

• The targeted reading skills relate to an appropriate instructional progression and reflect students' needs

• Each planned activity connects students' reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills

• The targeted reading skills are grade-appropriate and taught to all students using the same instructional methods

Reading teachers have a conference. What should they discuss?(For my test it was worded a bit differently like reading teachers having a conference would be beneficial if:

• discussing whole and small group strategies not individual students

• Not focusing on their own interests or something like that

• discuss and analyze significant reading events that occurred in the classroom

Teacher adds books in her classroom library with a variety of genres and reading levels. What is her next step?

•  Organize the books so that students can easily assess books at their independent reading level

• ??

What is an Independent reading level?
