A first grade teacher considers ways to help a new student who is beginning English Learner development 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 poem in English to practice reciting with the student

• Preparing a list of simple English words with different vowel sounds for the student 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 in reading of high-frequency English words.

A 1st 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 practices, the most appropriate step for the teacher to take next in this lesson would be to:

• Teach the student to blend the sounds in the word sat slowly and continuously without pausing/tapping the sounds out

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

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

• Have the students practice identifying the word sat in a variety of connected text.

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 map, then ask the child which one sounds different

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

• Say the words sat, set, and sit, then ask the child to say them with /m/ in place of /s/

• Say the word set, then ask the child to tap once for each sound the word contains

Which of the following informal assessment would be most appropriate to use to assess an individual student's phonemic awareness? (option 2 )

• A 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? ")

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

• Asking the student to identify the letters in the alphabet that correspond to the initial consonant sounds of several familiar spoken words.

• Having the student listen to the teacher read aloud a set of words with the same beginning sound (eg. train, trap, trouble) and then repeat the words

A student who joins a 1st 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 first?

• 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 assessment with the student

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

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

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

• Students need continued guided practice in basic phonics patterns and elements

• Students need continued guided practice in basic word identification skills

• High-frequency irregular sight words continue to be significant factors that disrupt students fluency

A 3rd grade teacher develops 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 the 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.
