1. According to results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which of
the following is true?
a. There are no significant differences between student subgroups.
b. All students perform equally well in reading and math.
c. Achievement gaps have been completely closed in recent years.
d. Gaps persist between certain subgroups of students.
Correct Answer: d. Gaps persist between certain subgroups of students.
**Expert Rationale:** The NAEP consistently reports achievement gaps between students from
different socioeconomic, racial, and linguistic backgrounds. Despite some improvements, these gaps
remain persistent, underscoring the ongoing need for targeted educational interventions.
2. Reading comprehension is not a single construct. Rather, the ability to understand what you
read relies on multiple components. Once readers become more skilled in word recognition, which
of the following components increase in their importance?
a. Phonological awareness and decoding
b. Letter-sound correspondence and blending
c. Cognates and syllable awareness
d. Background knowledge and vocabulary
Correct Answer: d. Background knowledge and vocabulary
**Expert Rationale:** As decoding becomes automatized, cognitive resources shift towards making
meaning of text, making vocabulary and prior knowledge more critical for comprehension. These
components help readers interpret text beyond word-level decoding.
3. Which statement most accurately describes how the human brain has evolved to process
spoken and written language?
