A sentence in a book states, “They had several chores to do.” Which of the following examples demonstrates a visual error, if stated by a student reading the text?
They had several jobs to do.
They had seven chores to do.
They had chores to do.
They had many chores to do.
Refer to the following for questions 13–16
A teacher is concerned about three of her students. While they are enthusiastic about
writing, they do not always recognize letters, confusing b, d, and p, or e and o. They
do, however, know which sounds go with certain letters when they are orally drilled.
When they write, they appear to be attempting letter–sound associations.
“Now I’m writing M,” the teacher heard one boy say as he scripted a large N in the
upper right corner of his paper. He studied it for a moment and added, “Nope, it needs
another leg.” The student then wrote an I beside the N. “There,” he said. “Now you are
an M. I can write the word man because now I have M.” The child then moved to the
lower left corner of the paper. “M-A-N,” he said to himself, slowly pronouncing each
sound. “I already have that M. Here is where the rest of the word goes.” He turned the
paper sideways and wrote N.
The second child sang to herself as she gripped the crayon and scribbled lines here
and there on her paper. Some of the lines resembled letters, but few actually were.
Others were scribbles. As she “wrote,” she seemed to be making up a story and
seemed to believe she was writing the story down.
The third child didn’t vocalize at all while he worked. He gripped the paper and
carefully wrote the same letter over and over and over. Sometimes the letter was
large, sometimes tiny. He turned the paper in every direction so that sometimes the
letter was sideways or upside down. Sometimes he flipped it backward. “What are
you writing?” the teacher asked him. “My name,” the child told her. The teacher then
realized the letter was, indeed, the first letter of his name. She gently told him he had
done a fine job of writing the first letter of his name. Did he want her to help him write
the rest of it? “Nope,” he cheerfully told her, “it’s all here.” He pointed at one of the
letters and “read” his full name. He pointed at another letter and again seemed to
believe it represented all the sounds of his name.
In the above example, the emergent writers are demonstrating their understanding that
letters symbolize predictable sounds, that words begin with an initial sound/letter, and that
by “writing,” they are empowering themselves by offering a reader access to their thoughts
and ideas. The next three stages the emergent writers will pass through in order will most
likely be:
Scripting the end-sound to a word (KT=cat), leaving space between words, writing from the top left to the top right of the page and top to bottom
Scripting the end-sound to a word (KT=cat), writing from the top left to the top right of the page and from top to bottom, separating the words from one another with a space between
Leaving space between the initial letters that represent words, writing from the top left to the top right of the page and from top to bottom, scripting the final sound of each word as well as the initial sound (KT=cat)
Drawing a picture beside each of the initial sounds to represent the entire word, scripting the end-sound to a word (KT=cat), scripting the interior sounds that compose the entire word (KAT=cat)
The teacher might best encourage the three students in the above example by:
Suggesting they write an entire book rather than just a single page. This will build confidence, teach them sequencing, and encourage the young writers to delve deeper into their ideas.
Ask the students to read their stories to her. Suggest they visit other children in the class and read to each of them.
Contact the local newspaper and invite a reporter to visit her class and write a story about her emergent writers. In this way, they are sure to see themselves as “real writers” and will more fully apply themselves to the task.
Invite all the parents to visit the class the following week. This will give all classmates, regardless of where they are on the learning spectrum, time to memorize their stories. The children will be very excited and will begin to see themselves as “real writers.”
At what point should the kindergarten teacher in the above example offer the three children picture books and ask them to read to her?
When the three children are all able to script initial sounds, end sounds, and interior sounds.
As each child reaches the stage in which he or she can script initial sounds, end sounds, and interior sounds, the teacher should ask only that child to read to her.
As each child reaches the stage in which he habitually writes from the top to the bottom of the page, moving left to right.
From the first day of school onward
The kindergarten teacher isn’t certain if these children are exhibiting signs of a reading disability or other special needs. What should the teacher do?
Nothing. These children are simply at an early stage in the reading/writing process.
Nothing. She doesn’t want to have to tell the parents that their children are sub-par in terms of intelligence. They are perfectly nice children and can contribute to society in other ways. She resolves to give them extra attention in other areas to help them build confidence.
She should recommend that the parents take the children to be tested for a number of reading disorders, including dyslexia.
She should arrange a meeting between herself, the school psychologist, and the reading specialist to discuss the matter and resolve it using a three-pronged approach.

A child does not like bees until learning about the role they play in pollination. She then believes that bees are helpful.
A toddler learns about lions from a picture book and practices saying, "Roar!" She hears a tiger making a similar sound at the zoo and calls it a lion.
Which of the following best explains the importance prior knowledge brings to the act of reading?
Prior knowledge is information the student gets 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 is 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 sentence in a book states, "The furry dog chases the stick." Which of the following examples demonstrates a structural error, if stated by a student reading the text?
The furry dog chases the branch.
The furry dog chases the big stick.
The fuzzy dog chases the stick.

Oral language typically develops before a child understands the relationship between spoken and written words.
Most young children are first exposed to written language when an adult reads aloud.
A child's ability to speak, read, and write depends on a variety of physiological factors, as well as environmental factors.

When should students learn how to decode?
Decoding is the most basic and essential strategy to becoming a successful reader. It should be introduced to kindergartners during the first two weeks of school.
Decoding is not a teachable skill. It is an unconscious act and is natural to all learners.
Decoding should be taught only after children have mastered every letter–sound relationship as well as every consonant digraph and consonant blend. They should also be able to recognize and say the 40 phonemes common to English words and be able to recognize at least a dozen of the most common sight words.
Decoding depends on an understanding of letter–sound relationships. As soon as a child understands enough letters and their correspondent sounds to read a few words, decoding should be introduced.
A preschool teacher is reading nursery rhymes to students, putting deliberate emphasis on the rhyming words. Which reading-related skill is she trying to develop in her students?

Use monosyllabic words whenever possible, repeat key instructions three times but not in a row, reference students’ prior knowledge, and have students keep a journal of new vocabulary.
Have students keep a journal of new vocabulary, reference students’ prior knowledge, speak slowly, and involve students in hands-on activities.
