first grade teacher considers ways to help a new students who is beginning English learner develop skills and phonemic awareness and knowledge of English sounds. Which of the following steps will be most important for the teacher to take first

• Collecting a set of simple rhyming poems in English to practice reciting with the student

• Preparing a list of simple English words wit different vowel sounds for the students to study

• Gaining some basic familiarity with the sound system of the student's primary language

• Making a study tape for the student by recording an oral reading of high-frequency English words

A first grade teacher leads a small group of beginning readers in a lesson focused on decoding simple words composed of letters that students have learned to sound out in isolation. The teacher begins by writing word "sat" on the board. In keeping the research based practice, the most appropriate step for the teacher to take next time in this lesson would be to:

• Teach the student to blend the sound in the words sat slowly and continuously without pausing. (tapping sounds out)

• Ask students to suggest words they know that rhyme with sat and write these on the board

• Teach students to first silently scan all the letters in the word sat and then pronounce the word aloud

Which of the following strategies would best help a kindergarten teacher assess a student's ability to blend phonemes?

• Say the words, set, pet, and mp then ask the child which one sounds different

• Say the sounds /s/, /e/, and /t/ separately and then ask the child to say them as one word

• Say the sounds sat,set,and sit, then ask the child to say them

Which of the following informal assessments would be most appropriate to use to assess an individual student's phonemic awareness?

• asking the student to identify the sound at the beginning medial or final of a spoken word (e.g., "what sound do you hear at the end of step"

  possible answer "cat"

• having the student listen to tape-recorded story while looking at the book and then answer several simple questions about the story.

• asking students to identify the letters in the alphabet that correspond to the initial consonant sounds of several familiar spoken words

What strategy is best used to teach phonemic awareness?

• saying the alphabet aloud

• sing "Old Mcdonald"

• say the individual sounds of a word

• Break apart words from a list

A student who joins a first-grade classroom in late October performs poorly on a phonemic awareness activity. To address this student's reading needs, which of the following steps would be most important for the teacher to take turns

• Engaging the student in a variety of beginning phonics games and activities

• Consulting informally with the special education teacher to see if the student might benefit from an individualized education program

• Conducting formal phonemic awareness assessments with he student

• Making immediate plans a sequence of differentiated instruction for the student in phonemic-awareness skills

Which of the following statements explain why students continue to need systemic, explicit instruction to support and promote fluency even after they have achieved automaticity?

• Vocabulary and academic language continue to be significant factors that disrupt student's fluency

• Students need continued guided practice in basic phonics patterns elements

A third grade teacher develops a word list from a small group of students that includes words representing complex phonics patterns. After reviewing the list with students the teacher did a dictation activity with a different set of words that follow the same pattern and the student wrote down the word. This activity demonstrates the teachers awareness of he importance of?

• developing students recognition of common syllable patterns to support accurate reading and writing

• helping students understand use of invented spelling to reinforce their phonics skills and foster self expression.

• Helping students understand how the morphology of words relate to spelling patterns

• Using writing activities to give students opportunities to apply phonics knowledge to new words

Prosody has which of these characteristics?

• reading with excitement and correct intonation like teachers do. A good strategy is choral reading.

• Variation in pitch intonation

• pronunciation of phonemes

• Reading at a rapid rate

• sounding of natural speech

Prosodic oral reading both supports and is supported by readers?

• word consciousness and enjoyment of words

• ability to recognize the internal structure of words

• active comprehension process

• phonemic awareness skills
