Phonemic awareness includes the ability to:

Pronounce individual sounds in words

Form compound words and combine word parts

Spell accurately and decode unfamiliar words

Differentiate between homonyms and spell accurately

A kindergarten teacher sets the objective for the day that students will use phonological awareness with familiar words. Which of the following would be the most effective activity for this objective?

According to research, which of the following is true regarding reading development and phonemic awareness?

When students have strong phonemic awareness skills, it is an indicator that they will have strong reading skills.

When students have weak phonemic awareness, they can make up for it with strong phonics skills.

Phonemic awareness has nothing to do with reading development and teachers should focus solely on phonics instead.

Poor reading skills in later grades are unequivocally linked to poor phonemic skills especially regarding substitution and deletion.

Provide students with a list of multisyllable words and have students draw lines in between the syllables in each word.

Divide students into groups and have the students sort words based on their syllable patterns and spelling.

Have students correct their spelling tests and identify multisyllable words from the list of spelling words.

Which THREE activities would best help students with their morphological analysis of multisyllable words?

Have students write down syllable patterns of complex words.

Have students break apart compound words.

Have students conduct a structural analysis using affixes.

Have students chunk words into distinct word parts.

Have students identify r-controlled syllables.

Which of the following activities would be most appropriate for kindergarten students who are in the beginning stages of vocabulary development?

Work on incidental vocabulary in context

Work on listening and speaking vocabulary

Work on reading and writing vocabulary

Work on using context to figure out difficult words

Which of the following is most effective when helping students understand how words can be used differently and mean different things depending on context?

Have student regularly use thesauruses to look synonyms of words.

Engage in an interactive word wall to sort words based on meaning.

Provide students with multiple exposures to words in a variety of genres.

A teacher will be guiding the class in a reading that is focused on complex science concepts. Which of the following is the most effective way to prepare students for the complex vocabulary they might encounter in the text?

Identify tier 3 words and activate background knowledge for those words.

Identify tier 1 words and activate background knowledge for those words.

Identify tier 2 words and activate background knowledge for those words.

Identify tier 1 and 2 words and review them in context to promote automaticity.

Word sorts help with what vocabulary skills?

Extending understanding of vocabulary

Identifying tier 1, 2, and 3 words

Understanding common definitions

Which of the following is most effective in increasing students’ interest in complex vocabulary?

Repeated, meaningful exposure to new words

Daily silent independent reading practice

Explicit instruction using dictionaries and thesauruses

A kindergarten teacher is planning a read aloud with students. The teacher wants students to acquire certain vocabulary. What would be the best approach?

Choose books with tier II words so students are exposed to academic vocabulary early.

Choose text where there is multiple exposure to the words in multiple contexts.

Choose text with abstract words so students can develop complex vocabulary.

Choose books based on student interest and have students identify complex vocab on their own.

A sixth-grade teacher has identified several domain specific (tier III) vocabulary words students will most likely struggle with while reading. However, these words are essential in understanding the overall chapter in the text. The teacher wants to use the most effective strategy in helping students understand the words on a deep level, not just on a surface level. Which of the following activities would be best to use in this situation?

Provide the words to the students before the reading, have the students use context within the reading to understand the words, and then have students use the words across other contexts.

Provide the words before the reading to the students, have them look the words up in the glossary, and then have the students discuss the words with a partner.

Based on the analysis, what intervention should the teacher employ?

Interventions that focus on sounds in words.

Using meaning in context to figure out difficult words.

Explicit instruction on identifying vowel teams.

Using punctuation to cue inflection in reading.

Why is it important to intervene in this situation?

Struggling with these words slows the student down, which affects the student’s rate, which negatively affects the student’s test scores.

Struggling with these words compromises the student’s prosody and impedes comprehension.

Struggling with these words slows the student down during decoding and decreases cognitive endurance necessary for comprehension.

Struggling with these words negatively affects the student’s silent sustained reading skills.

Which of the following is the best approach to building fluency in 4th grade students?

Providing students with weekly timed fluency reads.

Using spelling tests to reinforce phonics skills.

Focusing on accuracy and rate as students read complex text.

A teacher is administering a running record with a student to measure the student’s fluency rate in words correct per minute (wcpm). The teacher notices that the student struggles with CVCe words. As the student comes to a CVCe word, the student stops and uses a short vowel sound where there should be a long vowel sound. Which of the following conclusions may be true in this situation?

The student needs explicit instruction in phonics.

The student is lacking word recognition skills.

The student is lacking vocabulary knowledge.

The student needs explicit instruction in phonemic awareness.

A teacher notices that when reading aloud, students are racing through the text and not stopping at periods, pausing at commas, or using inflection when they read. She is concerned this will have a negative effect on their overall comprehension. Which of the following would be most effective in this area?
