Position paper
A teacher is working with a group of third graders at the same reading level. Her goal is to improve reading fluency. She askes each child in turn to read a page from a book about mammal young. She asks the children to read with expression. She also reminds them they don't need to stop between each word; they should read as quickly as they comfortably can. She cautions them, however, not to read so quickly that they leave out or misread a word. The teacher knows the components of reading fluency are:
Speed, drama, and comprehension
Cohesion, rate, and prosody
Understanding, rate, and prosody
Rate, accuracy, and prosody
"Language Load refers to:
The basic vocabulary words a first grader has committed to memory
The number of unrecognizable words an English Language Learner encounters when reading a passage or listening to a teacher
The damage that carrying a pile of heavy books could cause to a child's physique
The number of different languages a person has mastered.
A syllable must contain:
A vowel
A consonant
Both a vowel and a consonant
A meaning
A third-grade teacher has several students reading above grade level. Most of the remaining students are reading at grade level. There are also a few students reading below grade level. She decides to experiment. Her hypothesis is that by giving the entire class a chapter book above grade level, high-level readers will be satisfied, grade-level readers will be challenged in a positive way, and students reading below grade level will be inspired to improve. Her method is most likely to:
Succeed, producing students reading at an Instructional reading level. High-level readers will be happy to be given material appropriate to their reading level. Grade-level readers will challenges themselves to improve reading strategies in order to master the text. Because only a few the students are reading below grade level, the other students, who feel happy and energized, will inspired the slower readers by modeling success.
Succeed, producing students reading at an Independent reading level. High-level readers will independently help grade-level readers who will, in turn, independently help those below grade level.
Fail, producing students at a Frustration reading level. Those reading below grade level are likely to give up entirely. Those reading at grade level are likely to get frustrated and form habits that will actually slow down their development.
Fail, producing students reading at a Chaotic reading level. By nature, children are highly competitive. The teacher has not taken into consideration multiple learning styles. The children who are at grade level will wither become bitter and angry at those whose reading level is above grade level or simply give up. The children reading below grade level will not be able to keep up and will in all likelihood act out their frustration or completely shut down.
Of the three tiers of words, the most important words for direct instruction are:
Tier-one words
Common words
Tier-two words
Words with Latin roots
At the beginning of each month, Mr. Yi has Jade read a page or two from a book she hasn't seen before. He notes the total number of words in the section, and also notes the number of times she leaves out or misreads a word. If Jade reads the passage with less than 3% error, Mr. Yi is satisfied that Jade is:
Reading with full comprehension
Probably bored and should try a more difficult book
Reading at her Independent reading level
Comfortable with the syntactical meaning
The purpose of corrective feedback is:
To provide students with methods for explaining to the teacher or classmates what a passage was about
To correct an error in reading a student has made, specifically clarifying where and how the error was made so that the student can avoid similar errors in the future
To provide a mental framework that will help the student correctly organize new information
To remind students that error is essential in order to truly understand and that it is not something to be ashamed of
Dr. Jenks is working with a group of high school students. They are about to read a science book about fossils. Before they begin, she writes the words stromatolites, fossiliferous, and eocene on the board. She explains the meaning of each word. These words are examples of:
Academic words
Alliteration
Content-specific words
Ionization
Which of the following best explains the importance prior knowledge brings to the act of reading?
Prior knowledge is information the student get through researching a topic prior to reading the text. A student who is well-prepared through such research is better able to decode a text and retain its meaning.
Prior knowledge the student brings from previous life or learning experiences to the act of reading. It is not possible for a student to fully comprehend new knowledge without first integrating it with prior knowledge.
Prior knowledge is predictive. It motivates the student to look for contextual clues in the reading and predict what is likely to happen next.
Prior knowledge is not important to any degree to the act of reading, because every text is self-contained and therefore seamless. Prior knowledge is irrelevant in this application.
A cloze test evaluates a student's:
Reading fluency
Understanding of context and vocabulary
Phonemic skills
Ability to apply the alphabetic principle to previously unknown material
Sight words are:
Common words with irregular spelling
Words that can easily be found on educational websites
Any word that can be seen, including text words, words on signs, brochures, banners, and so forth
There is no such thing; because oral language is learned before written language, all words are ultimately based on sound. The correct term is sound words and includes all words necessary to decode a particular text.
Phone, they, church. The underlined letters in these words are examples of:
Consonant blend
Consonant shift
Continental shift
Consonant digraph
Phonemic awareness is a type of:
Phonological awareness. Phonemic awareness is the ability to recognize sounds within words.
Phonics. It is a teaching technique whereby readers learn the relationship between letters and sounds.
Alphabetization. Unless a reader knows the alphabet, phonemic awareness is useless.
Syntactical awareness. Understanding the underlying structure of a sentence is key to understanding meaning.
All members of a group of kindergarten students early in the year are able to chant the alphabet. The teacher is now teaching the students what the alphabet looks like in written form. The teacher points to a letter and the students vocalize the correspondent sound. Alternatively, the teacher vocalizes a phoneme and a student points to it on the alphabet chart. The teacher is using in her instruction.
Letter-sound correspondence
Rote memorization
Predictive analysis
Segmentation
A fourth-grade teacher is preparing her students for a reading test in which a number of words have been replaced with blanks. The test will be multiple-choice; there are three possible answers given for each blank. The teacher instructs the children to read all the possible answers and cross out any answer that obviously doesn't fit. Next, the students should "plug in" the remaining choices and eliminate any that are grammatically incorrect or illogical. Finally, the student should consider contextual clues in order to select the best anwser. This in an example of:
Strategy instruction
Diagnostic instruction
Skills instruction
Multiple-choice instruction
The term "common words" means:
One-syllable words with fewer than three letters. Some examples are it, an a I, go, to, and in.
One-syllable words with fewer than five letters. Some examples include sing, goes, sit, rock, walk, and took.
Words that are ordinary or unexceptional; because they tend to flatten a piece of writing, they should be avoided.
Familiar, frequently used words that do not need to be taught beyond primary grades.
Which is greater, the number of English phonemes or the number of letters in the alphabet?
The number of letters in the alphabet, because they can be combined to create phonemes.
They number of phonemes. A phoneme is the smallest measure of language sound.
They are identical; each letter "owns" a correspondent sound.
Neither. Phonemes and alphabet letters are completely unrelated
Train, brain, spring. The underlined letters are examples of:
Consonant digraph
Consonant blend
Consonant shift
Continental shift
It is the beginning of the school year. To determine which second-grade students might need support, the reading teacher wants to identify those who are reading below grade level. She works with students one at a time. She gives each child a book at a second-grade reading level and asks the child to read out loud for two minutes. Children who will need reading support are those who read:
Fewer than 100 words in the time given
Fewer than 200 words in the time given
More than 75 words in the time given
The entire book in the time given
The most effective strategy for decoding sight words is:
Segmenting sight words into syllables. Beginning readers are understandably nervous when encountering a long word that isn't familiar. Blocking off all but a single syllable at a time renders a word manageable and allows the reader a sense of control over the act of reading.
Word families. By grouping the sight word with similar words, patterns emerge
A phonemic approach. When students understand the connection between individual words and their sounds, they will be able to sound out any sight word they encounter
None; sight words cannot be decoded. Readers must learn to recognize these words as wholes on sight.
Which of the following choices will be most important when designing a reading activity or lesson for students?
Selecting a text
Determining the number of students participating
Analyzing the point in the school year at which the lesson is given
Determining a purpose for instruction
"Decoding" is also called:
Remediation
Deciphering
Alphabetic principle
Deconstruction
Which text(s) are likely to foster the greatest enthusiasm for reading and literature among students?
Free choice of reading texts, provided that students complete class assignments, projects, and discussions.
An all-in-one textbook that includes all reading material for the year, study guides, and sample test questions.
A variety of texts, including books, magazines, newspapers, stories for oral traditions, poetry, music, and films.
A small selection of current best-selling books for children, some of which the children may already have read and liked
