• To provide a standardized test for 4th-grade students

• To help parents understand the complex skills needed for proficient reading

• To replace the Alphabetic Principle with a new phonics system

• To argue that background knowledge is the only factor in reading success

According to the Reading Rope framework, which set of skills constitutes the "Upper Strands" of the rope?

• Phonological awareness, decoding, and sight recognition

• Letter-sound correspondences and the alphabetic principle

• Background knowledge, vocabulary, language structures, verbal reasoning, and literacy knowledge

• Syntax, semantics, and orthographic mapping

The "Lower Strands" of the Reading Rope primarily focus on which aspect of literacy development?

• Language comprehension

• Word recognition

• Metaphorical thinking

• Literary genre identification

In the context of Language Structures, how is "syntax" defined?

• The study of the meanings of morphemes and words
