Which of the following students is demonstrating the specific type of phonological awareness known as phonemic awareness? Show
a student who, after hearing the word hat, can orally identify that it ends with the sound /t/ A kindergarten teacher could best determine if a child has begun to develop phonemic awareness by asking the child to: say the word cat, then say the first sound the child hears in the word. As students begin to read, the ability to blend phonemes orally contributes to their reading development primarily because it helps students: use knowledge of letter-sound correspondence to decode words. A teacher holds up a series of familiar objects, asking students to name each object and isolate the final sound they hear. This type of activity would be most appropriate for a student who: needs help developing phonemic segmentation skills. Phonemic awareness contributes most to the development of phonics skills in beginning readers by helping them: identify in spoken language separate sounds that can be mapped to letters. Which of the following first-grade students has attained the highest level of phonemic awareness? a student who, after hearing the word hot and the sound /ĭ/, can substitute /ĭ/ for /ŏ/ to make the word hit Phonemic awareness, the ability to distinguish and manipulate the phonemes in spoken words, is a type of phonological awareness. Reading research indicates that phonological and phonemic awareness skills develop along a continuum from basic to higher-level skills, and that phoneme substitution is a more difficult, or higher-level, skill. Substituting the sound /ĭ/ for /ŏ/ in the word hot to make the word hit is an example of phoneme substitution. B and D are incorrect because phonemic awareness is not required to perform the phonological awareness skills described. C is incorrect because recognizing alliterative words—words that begin with the same phoneme—is a phonological awareness skill that precedes development of advanced phonemic awareness skills, including phoneme substitution. Asking students to listen to a word (e.g., same) and then tell the teacher all the sounds in the word is an exercise that would be most appropriate for students who: have a relatively high level of phonemic awareness A kindergarten teacher asks a small group of students to repeat after her. First, she says the word grape and then pronounces it as gr and ape. Next, she says the word take and then pronounces it as t and ake. This activity is likely to promote the students' phonemic awareness primarily by:Term encouraging them to divide words into onsets and rimes. A teacher shows a student pictures of familiar objects. As the teacher points to the first picture, she asks the student to name the object in the picture. Next, she asks the student to count on his fingers the number of sounds he makes as he says the word again. This activity is most likely to promote which of the following? phonemic
awareness skills A beginning-level English Language Learner can consistently blend individual phonemes to make simple English words composed of two or three phonemes but is having difficulty blending the sounds of familiar single-syllable words composed of four phonemes (e.g., clip, trap, spin). Which of the following questions would be most important for the first-grade teacher to consider when addressing the needs of this student? Does the student's primary language have consonant blends? A fourth-grade student reads on grade level and consistently scores very high on spelling tests that are part of weekly word study activities. However, the student often misspells the same words, and other familiar words, in everyday writings. The following table shows examples of typical errors the student makes on class writing assignments and in informal notes to friends. The student's overall spelling performance suggests that the student most likely has a weakness in which of the following foundational skills? segmenting and sequencing phonemes in words A preschool child picks up an unfamiliar book, opens it to the end, points to the text, and begins to "pretend read" the story. These behaviors suggest that the child most likely: has developed an understanding that print carries meaning. A preschool child draws a stick figure and makes some unintelligible scribbles around it. When she shows it to her teacher, she points to the scribbles and says, "This says 'I love mommy.'" This behavior suggests that the child most likely: has grasped the idea that the function of print is distinct
from that of pictures. At the end of each school day, a preschool teacher encourages the children to talk about the day's events. As the children describe each event, the teacher writes it on large block paper. Afterward, the teacher reads the list back to the class. This activity would contribute to the children's literacy development primarily by promoting their: awareness that speech can be represented by writing. A kindergarten teacher hangs labels on key objects in the classroom, puts up posters that include words and captions, and always has a big book on display for the children's use. This kind of classroom environment is most likely to help promote children's: development of an awareness of print. A preschool teacher is reading a story to his class. As he reads, he holds the book so the children can see the words and pictures while his finger follows the line of print. This activity would contribute to the children's reading development primarily by: developing their awareness of left-to-right directionality. Pointing out the title, beginning, middle, and end of a book to a group of preschool children before reading the book aloud to them contributes to their reading development primarily by promoting their development of
book-handling skills. Which of the following strategies would be most effective in promoting kindergarten children's ability to recognize and name letters of the alphabet? The teacher says the name of a letter while the children each trace its shape on a cutout letter. Having kindergarten children practice tracing the letters of the alphabet in sand is most appropriate for children who are having difficulty: developing letter formation skills. A preschool teacher shows a group of children pictures of everyday objects. Below each picture is printed the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to the word's initial sound. As the teacher points to each picture, she names the object, then she points to the letter underneath it and says the sound it makes. The teacher invites the children to repeat the sound with her. This activity is likely to contribute to the children's reading development primarily by: demonstrating that phonemes are represented by letters. A kindergarten teacher wants to promote students' understanding of the alphabetic principle. Which of the following would be the most effective first step in a sequence of instruction designed to achieve this goal? Talk with
students about selected consonants using a series of posters that each feature one consonant and contain pictures of items whose initial phoneme demonstrates that consonant's sound. A second-grade teacher regularly reviews spelling patterns previously taught. The teacher also provides students with multiple opportunities to read and write connected text that features words containing the target spelling patterns and to engage in word sorts focused on previously taught spelling patterns. These types of activities are likely to promote students' reading proficiency primarily by developing their: reading fluency with respect to accuracy. Which of the following best describes the relationship between word decoding and reading comprehension in a beginning reader's development? Rapid automatic decoding skills help facilitate development of reading fluency and comprehension. A teacher can most effectively support first graders' development of rapid automatic word recognition by first teaching students how to: apply consistent phonics generalizations in common words. Automaticity is the rapid recognition of a word without conscious attention to the decoding process. Research indicates that accurate decoding skills are a prerequisite to the development of, and readiness to benefit from instruction in, automatic word recognition. Applying consistent phonics generalizations to decode common words is a foundational decoding skill appropriate for beginning readers at the first-grade level. B is incorrect because a reliance on context clues for word identification is a frequent cause of inaccurate reading, so this strategy would not facilitate automatic word recognition. C is incorrect because dividing multisyllable words into constituent parts is an advanced skill typically taught after developing readers have achieved automaticity reading many single-syllable words. D is incorrect because looking up words in a dictionary is related to decoding only as a corrective strategy and does not present phonics patterns explicitly or systematically. It is therefore of limited effectiveness in developing accurate decoding skills and automaticity among beginning readers. A second-grade teacher pairs students who are reading at approximately the same independent reading level for a partner-reading activity. During the activity, the two partners sit side by side and take turns reading aloud from a shared text. Over a period of several days, the partners read a large number of independent-level texts together. This activity is best designed to promote students': development of reading rate and automaticity Which of the following strategies would be most effective in promoting second graders' decoding of multisyllable words? encouraging
students to compare the parts of new multisyllable words with known single-syllable words
According to basic principles of research-based, systematic phonics instruction, which of the following common English letter combinations would be most appropriate for a first-grade teacher to introduce first? th A second-grade teacher administers spelling inventories
periodically to help assess students' phonics knowledge. The following shows one student's performance on a spelling inventory at the beginning of the school year and again several months later. long and r-controlled vowels Which of the following provides the best rationale for incorporating spelling instruction into a first-grade reading program? Spelling supports word recognition
by helping students learn and retain common phonics patterns. Which of the following statements best describes how oral vocabulary knowledge is related to the process of decoding written words? A reader's oral vocabulary knowledge allows the reader to derive meaning as he or she decodes written words. Read the sentence below; then answer the question that follows.
saying bet for best A consonant blend is a sequence of two or more consonants in a word, each of which represents a separate phoneme. For example, the sequence of consonants at the end of the word best represents the sequence of phonemes /s/ and /t/. A student who says bet for best is omitting the letter s, an error in decoding the consonant blend at the end of the word. The other responses are incorrect because these miscues are unrelated to decoding consonant blends. A is a whole-word omission. B represents an error decoding a diphthong. D is an omission of an entire syllable. Which of the following sentences contains a pair of italicized words that differ from one another by one phoneme? He took off his cap so that he could take a nap. Which of the following students demon-strates variation in reading development that would require intervention focused on explicit phonics instruction? a second-grade student who is adept at using context clues to identify words but has difficulty sounding out the letters in unfamiliar words A student who has mastered which of the following skills along the phonological awareness continuum is best prepared to begin explicit phonics instruction? being able to segment and blend a word's phonemes Use the information below to answer the question that follows. A teacher poses the following question to fourth-grade students. What words can you think of that have the word "act" in them? Using student responses, the teacher creates the following web on the board. This technique is likely to be most helpful for enhancing the students' awareness of: morphemic structure. Which of the following sets of words would be most effective to use when introducing students to the concept of structural analysis? pretest, retest, tested, testing An English Language Learner pronounces tigers as tiger when reading the following sentence aloud. verify that the student understands that tigers means more than one tiger The following sentence is missing several words. (2) Which of the following principles is best illustrated by the words watched, wanted, and warned? The spelling of a suffix is often more reliable than its pronunciation. The words enjoyable, maneuverable, corruptible, and convertible best illustrate which of the following principles? The spelling of a suffix can vary depending on its root word. A second-grade teacher has students pull two single-syllable nouns from a hat (e.g., bulb, light) and asks them to form words by putting the words together (e.g., lightbulb). Students then draw pictures to illustrate their new words and write short stories using the new words. This activity is likely to be most effective for helping students: understand the concept of compound words. Instruction in structural analysis is likely to promote upper elementary students' reading comprehension primarily by: equipping them with strategies for understanding the meanings of unfamiliar multisyllable words. A third-grade teacher administers the following informal reading assessment to individual students. The student is proficient at using context clues to help identify words but has weak word decoding skills. All of the words that appear in the word list also appear in the passage. A student who has difficulty reading these words in isolation, but succeeds in reading the words in the passage, must use information available only in the text to support word identification. A reader who can recognize most of the words in a passage can use the context of an unfamiliar word to deduce the syntactic category (e.g., noun, verb, adjective) and some semantic information about the unfamiliar word. B and D are incorrect because the factors identified in these responses do not vary in the two parts of the assessment, and thus cannot explain the difference in the student's performance in these two parts. C is incorrect because the student performs well on the second part of the assessment, so is likely skilled at using both syntactic and semantic clues. A second-grade teacher uses the following handout to guide the class through an
activity. identify and decode common homographs. Homographs are words that are spelled the same way but have different meanings. For example, the words saw, meaning the cutting tool, and saw, meaning the past tense of the verb to see, have different origins and meanings, but they are spelled the same way. The activity in the box promotes students' awareness of the characteristics of homographs. Drawing students' attention to the fact that two words can be spelled the same way but have completely different meanings would not contribute to their understanding of structural analysis (B), semantic analysis (C), or synonyms (D). A sixth-grade student encounters the following sentence in a short story. Look up the word in the dictionary, and then paraphrase the sentence using the dictionary definition. Before beginning a new content-area reading passage, a fourth-grade teacher asks students to think of words related to the topic of the text. The teacher writes the words on the board and then asks the students to suggest ways to group the words based on meaningful connections. The teacher also encourages them to explain their reasons for grouping particular words together. This series of activities is likely to promote the students' reading development primarily by helping them: extend and reinforce their expressive and receptive vocabularies related to the text's topic. Grouping words related to a text based on conceptual categories and the words' associative meanings helps deepen students' understanding of the vocabulary. Discussing and justifying connections among the words further enhances students' understanding of the words and promotes retention of new words. B is incorrect because, while exploring the etymology of target vocabulary words can also be an effective strategy for deepening students' understanding of the words, the series of activities described in the scenario did not involve exploration of word derivations. Nor did it involve using semantic or syntactic clues from the text to verify words' meanings (D). C is incorrect because studying the conceptual connections among key vocabulary in a text is not likely to enhance students' understanding of the text's structure. A first-grade teacher designs the following activity. 1. Divide students into pairs. 2. Have students sit back-to-back. 3. Give one student in each pair a picture of a familiar object to describe to his or her partner. 4. The partner tries to name the object based on the description. promoting their oral language development and listening comprehension. A fifth-grade student reads the sentence, "After playing with her friends all day, Kaylee did her science homework, her geography project, and her composition in one fell swoop." The student asks the teacher for help understanding what is meant by the phrase one fell swoop. The teacher can best help the student understand this idiomatic expression by: discussing with the student more examples of the phrase used in context. A second-grade student demonstrates automaticity decoding grade-level regular and irregular words. However, the student frequently experiences poor text comprehension. Which of the following is the first step the teacher should take in order to promote this student's reading proficiency? determining the extent of the student's vocabulary knowledge A fifth-grade teacher is about to begin a new unit on weather and climate. Which of the following types of vocabulary words from the unit would be most appropriate for the teacher to preteach? words that are conceptually challenging A text includes the word indefensible, which is unfamiliar to some students in a fourth-grade class. Which of the following strategies for teaching the word would be most effective in both clarifying the meaning of the word and extending the students' vocabulary development? Help the students apply structural and contextual analyses to construct and confirm the word's meaning. In which of the following sentences is context most helpful in understanding the italicized word? Peter's mother was adamant that he should attend college, but his father did not seem to care. Students in a third-grade class are studying different forms of transportation that are used around the world. As part of this unit of study, they work together to create a semantic map of words associated with transportation, including words that they have recently learned (e.g., barge, rickshaw). This activity is most likely to promote students' vocabulary development by: helping them to categorize, visualize, and
remember new vocabulary
A third-grade class that includes several English Language Learners is about to read a text about water sports. Which of the following teaching strategies would be most effective in promoting the English Language Learners' comprehension of the text? Activate students' prior knowledge about the topic and provide visual aids such as illustrations to clarify new vocabulary. A sixth-grade teacher is planning explicit instruction to help students read and understand sentences that have a complex sentence structure. Which of the following skills would be most effective for the teacher to focus on first? identifying the independent clause at the heart of a sentence Over the course of the school year, a sixth-grade student who had been a fluent, proficient reader in previous years is having increasing difficulty comprehending grade-level literary and informational texts assigned in class. The results of informal, curriculum-based assessments indicate that the student still meets grade-level expectations in vocabulary knowledge, but the student's reading rate and comprehension have dropped below grade level. The student also tends to choose fiction and graphic novels written well below the sixth-grade level for independent reading. The student's overall reading performance suggests that the student would likely benefit most from instruction focused on promoting the student's: knowledge and skills related to understanding complex academic language. Before reading aloud a book about a farm to a group of beginning readers, a first-grade teacher has the students brainstorm and briefly discuss words related to farms. Next, the
teacher reads the text aloud from a big book, pointing to each word being read. Periodically, the teacher stops to discuss with students key concepts or events described in the text and to guide students in relating the text to the illustrations. After finishing the read-aloud, the teacher puts the book in the classroom library and encourages the students to read it on their own. the students can decode and understand the meaning of at least 95 percent of the words in the text. Before reading aloud a book about a farm to a group of beginning readers, a first-grade teacher has the students brainstorm and briefly discuss words
related to farms. Next, the teacher reads the text aloud from a big book, pointing to each word being read. Periodically, the teacher stops to discuss with students key concepts or events described in the text and to guide students in relating the text to the illustrations. After finishing the read-aloud, the teacher puts the book in the classroom library and encourages the students to read it on their own. facilitate the students' comprehension by activating prior knowledge and building schema. Before reading aloud a book about a farm to a group of beginning readers, a first-grade
teacher has the students brainstorm and briefly discuss words related to farms. Next, the teacher reads the text aloud from a big book, pointing to each word being read. Periodically, the teacher stops to discuss with students key concepts or events described in the text and to guide students in relating the text to the illustrations. After finishing the read-aloud, the teacher puts the book in the classroom library and encourages the students to read it on their own. love of reading by facilitating their access to a story that they have already heard, understood, and enjoyed. Reading aloud to children is a research-based strategy for promoting students' interest in reading and in books. Providing students with access to a book that the teacher has already read aloud and discussed with them is likely to foster their love of reading because the teacher has provided various scaffolds for comprehending the story, and thus they are likely to experience some level of success in reading it independently. Responses B, C, and D are incorrect because simply providing access to the book is not likely to contribute to the students' knowledge of the alphabetic principle (B), oral language development (C), or use of metacognitive strategies (D), which all require explicit instruction and guided practice. Which of the following strategies would be most appropriate to use to promote second-grade students' ability to analyze key ideas and details in a literary text? helping students create a story map of the main characters in a story and the events with which they are involved After students in a sixth-grade class finish reading a historical novel about the U.S. Civil War, the teacher asks each student to bring in an object, or a picture or illustration of an object, that, to them, represents the book. The students must also identify a passage or passages from the book that they can use to support their choices when they present their objects to the class. This activity is most likely to promote students' reading development by helping them understand the importance of: basing interpretations about a literary work on textual evidence. A fifth-grade teacher guides students in reading a complex literary text. First, the teacher reads aloud the beginning of the text as the students follow along silently in their copies. Next, the teacher rereads key phrases and sentences, asking students what the author meant by certain statements or by the choice of certain words. Finally, the teacher and students reread the section aloud together with expression. The teacher repeats these steps with each section of the text. This activity promotes reading proficiency primarily by: modeling for students how to engage in close reading of academic texts. Sixth-grade students have just finished reading a chapter in a novel and are getting ready to write an entry in their response journals. The teacher could most effectively develop students' literary response skills by assigning which of the following journal prompts? What do you think is the main idea or theme of the novel? Relate specific events in this chapter to the theme you suggest. A second-grade teacher reads a trade book aloud to the class. Which of the following postreading activities would be most likely to promote the students' comprehension of the story by enhancing their literary analysis skills? discussing with the students how the characters in the story respond to major events and challenges A fifth-grade class is about to read a play about the life of Harriet Tubman called "Travels on the Railroad." Which of the following prereading activities would best promote students' comprehension of the text? asking students to share what they already know about the time period during which the play takes place A second-grade teacher notices that one of her students lacks fluency when reading aloud. The first thing the teacher should do in order to help this student is assess whether the student also has difficulties with: decoding Read the passage below; then answer the question that follows. recognize a literary allusion. Students in a third-grade class are working on an interdisciplinary unit on Native Americans of the Northeast. The teacher has selected a historical novel for students to read during the unit to help them gain insight into people's daily lives in a particular Native American nation at a particular point in time. However, the teacher is aware that the novel's text complexity may make comprehension difficult for a group of struggling readers in the class. Which of the following strategies would be most effective for the teacher to use to support the struggling readers' comprehension of the novel and their purpose for reading? engaging the students in guided reading and rereading of key passages in the novel A teacher can best help sixth graders draw inferences from informational text by asking them to complete which of the following statements? The passage suggests . . . To draw an inference from a text is to derive a conclusion that is not stated explicitly in the text but rather is suggested by facts or premises presented. A is incorrect because stating an opinion about a text does not necessarily involve deducing or deriving a conclusion from explicit information in the text. C and D focus on the use of literal comprehension rather than inferential comprehension. A sixth-grade teacher gives students several persuasive essays that
present contrasting opinions on a current social issue. The teacher then asks students to consider the following questions as they read the texts. analyze point of view in
expository texts. A third-grade teacher periodically reads aloud from a chapter in content-area textbooks and describes his thought processes as he
reads. Following is an example: modeling for them metacognitive comprehension strategies. Skimming is likely to be the most effective strategy for accomplishing which of the following reading tasks? previewing a chapter in
a content-area textbook A sixth-grade class is working on an Internet research project about various natural resources and their uses. The teacher could best support students' effective use of the Internet for their research by: providing students with a checklist of questions that prompt critical evaluation of information on Web sites. Which of the following text features are students likely to find most useful when previewing informational texts such as library books for a research project? table of contents A table of contents shows how the content of a text is organized and provides clues to the types of information the reader is likely to find in each section. Skimming a text's table of contents provides a reader with a quick and effective preview of the text's content. This allows a reader to determine whether the text might be useful for a particular research project. A is incorrect because a typical index lists all the topics covered by a text in great detail, but it is organized alphabetically rather than grouped in broad categories, so it is less effective as a tool for previewing texts. B and C are incorrect because bibliographies provide information about the sources the author(s) used in developing the text, while glossaries provide definitions of key terms used in the text. A third-grade teacher observes that students who read aloud fluently also demonstrate greater comprehension of expository texts. The best explanation for this is that fluent readers: are able to focus their full attention and cognitive resources on the meaning of a text. A fifth-grade teacher gives students a reading guide for an informational text that they will be reading independently. The reading guide contains various activities, including prompting students to summarize certain passages, to explain relationships between concepts according to specific information in the text, and to determine the meaning of domain-specific words based on appositives or appositive phrases embedded in the text. This reading guide is likely to be most effective for achieving which of the following instructional purposes? encouraging students to read and interact closely with the text Two proficient readers are answering postreading comprehension questions about a chapter in a content-area textbook. Each student applied different reading comprehension skills when reading the text. An English Language Learner reads academic texts fluently in her primary language but is struggling to understand her content-area textbooks in English. This student would likely benefit most from engaging in which of the following activities? learning to use metacognitive reading strategies with English text A fifth-grade teacher plans to have
students read a chapter about the American Revolutionary War from their social studies textbook. The following is an excerpt from the chapter. timeline The text structure of this passage is chronological, focusing on when troop movements took place leading up to the battle. Timelines are the most effective form of graphic organizer for conveying a chronology of events. Outlines (A) and semantic maps (D) are well suited to passages that are organized into different sections or categories of related content. Venn diagrams (B) visually display similarities and differences between two or more related topics. A fifth-grade teacher plans to have students read a chapter about the American Revolutionary War from their social studies textbook. The following is an excerpt from the chapter. use visualization to facilitate their comprehension of the text. A third-grade teacher has been conducting a series of ongoing assessments of a student's oral reading. Shown below is a sentence from a text, followed by a transcription of a typical example of the student's oral reading performance. After reading the sentence, the student paused and then reread it without the teacher's prompting and self-corrected the errors. Based on this information, the teacher could best meet this student's needs by adjusting instruction in order to: improve the student's decoding skills. Which of the following types of assessments would best provide information about the comparative reading proficiency of students in an elementary school? a norm-referenced survey test Considerations of validity in test construction relate most closely to: whether the test questions effectively measure their specified content. If a standardized test is said to lack reliability, the test: gives fluctuating scores in different administrations. Reliability indicates the degree to which a test yields consistent results over successive administrations. If a test yielded fluctuating results, it would be considered to have low reliability. A relates to a test's content validity, while D relates to a test's predictive validity. Standardized tests are not intended to be used as interventions (B). Which of the following informal assessment results provides the clearest indication that a kindergarten child has attained a beginning level of phonemic awareness? The student can identify the beginning sound of single-syllable words. One of the most important purposes of a standardized Informal Reading Inventory ( IRI ) is: to establish a student's independent, instructional, and frustration reading levels. An advantage of using assessment tools such as portfolios and scoring rubrics is that they: promote student participation in
self-assessment activities. Which of the following best describes the primary advantage of having a student read a passage silently and then provide a "retelling" as a means of assessing the student's comprehension, rather than having the student answer questions? A retelling is open-ended and requires the student to construct a description of the passage more independently of the examiner. Which of the following criteria would be most important to consider when selecting "leveled texts" for use in assessments and guided reading with beginning-level readers? The texts should use repeated words and natural oral language structures. In order to select a trade book that emphasizes predictability, a teacher should ensure that: a phrase, rhyme, or sentence is repeated throughout the text. A fourth-grade English Language Learner is new to a school. Assessments suggest that the student can read orally with accuracy on grade level; however, the student's comprehension of grade-level textbooks fluctuates widely. Which of the following steps would be most appropriate for the teacher to take first in order to determine the cause of the student's difficulty? Determine whether the student has adequate vocabulary and background knowledge to
support comprehension of the textbooks. A first-grade teacher encourages beginning readers to "write" their own captions beneath their drawings. This practice is most likely to lead to which of the following? The students' development of phonics knowledge will be reinforced as they experiment with their own phonetic spellings. Which of the following types of activities would be most important to include on a daily basis when planning reading instruction for first graders who are developing as beginning readers? activities that promote students' development of decoding and other word analysis skills A fifth-grade class silently reads an informational text. In subsequent informal assessments, several students are able to read the text orally with fluency but they demonstrate poor overall comprehension of the text. The teacher could most appropriately address these students' needs by adjusting future instruction in which of the following ways? introducing a text's key vocabulary and guiding the students in close reading of key passages As a first-grade teacher reads a big book to a group of students, the teacher points to the beginning consonants of selected words and accentuates the sound the initial letter makes. This activity is most likely to promote the students': ability to isolate individual sounds in words. Which of the following children is most in need of immediate intervention? a second-grade student who still decodes words letter by letter Which of the following is the most important reason for a fourth-grade teacher to assign a variety of high-quality trade books as a component of reading instruction? Reading across genres helps students develop an understanding of the structures and
features of different texts. Frequent oral reading to kindergarten children using appropriate and expressive intonation and voices is likely to promote the students' reading development primarily by: fostering their engagement in and love of reading. Which of the following strategies is likely to be most effective in promoting reluctant readers' interest in independent reading outside of school? Encourage students and parents to read books together on a regular basis, either silently or aloud, and discuss their personal responses to each chapter or key event Electronic reading books are advantageous for beginning or struggling readers primarily because this type of computer software: scaffolds learning by providing a high level of interactivity. Which of the following would be a component of effective vocabulary instruction?4 Components of Effective Vocabulary Instruction. Word Connection. Students need to be able to connect the words they are trying to acquire with words and concepts with which they are already familiar. ... . Significance. ... . Context Clues. ... . Word-Rich Environment.. Which of the following statements best describe an effective way to prepare students to listen to or read a text?Which of the following statements best describes an effective way to prepare students to listen to or read a text? Establish the purpose for reading the text and impart background knowledge.
Which of the following strategies would be most appropriate to use to promote second grade students ability to analyze key ideas and details in a literary text?which of the following strategies would be most appropriate to use to promote second-grade students' ability to analyze key ideas and details in a literary text? Helping students crate a story map of the main characters in a story and the events with which they are involved.
