, Question 1
A third-grade team is designing a screening system to identify students at risk
for dyslexia. Which combination of measures best aligns with current IDA and
What Works Clearinghouse recommendations for early screening?
A. Phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, and letter-sound
correspondence
B. Oral vocabulary, listening comprehension, and reading motivation
C. Word reading fluency, spelling, and reading comprehension
D. Nonverbal reasoning, attention, and memory
Correct Answer: A - Phonological awareness, rapid automatized
naming, and letter-sound correspondence
RATIONALE
Current evidence-based screening for dyslexia risk focuses on
phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, and letter-sound
knowledge, as these are the strongest early predictors. Options B and
C are either not early predictors or measure later-stage skills, while D
assesses cognitive abilities not specific to dyslexia.
Question 2
During a guided reading lesson, a teacher notices a student consistently
substitutes 'house' for 'home' and 'pony' for 'horse'. These errors most likely
indicate a difficulty with which component of reading?
A. Phonemic awareness
B. Orthographic mapping
C. Semantic processing
D. Syntactic parsing
Correct Answer: C - Semantic processing
Page 2
, RATIONALE
Substituting semantically related words suggests the student is relying
on meaning-based cues rather than accurate decoding, indicating a
weakness in semantic processing or over-reliance on context.
Phonemic awareness errors would involve sound confusion, and
orthographic mapping errors would involve letter-sound
inconsistencies.
Question 3
A high school English teacher wants to improve students' argumentative
writing. Which instructional approach is most consistent with the gradual
release of responsibility model?
A. Assigning a prompt and providing a rubric for self-assessment
B. Modeling a think-aloud while composing a thesis statement, then
having students practice in pairs before independent writing
C. Having students peer-edit each other's essays without prior instruction
D. Providing a list of transition words and requiring their use
Correct Answer: B - Modeling a think-aloud while composing a
thesis statement, then having students practice in pairs before
independent writing
RATIONALE
The gradual release model involves explicit modeling (I do), guided
practice (we do), and independent practice (you do). Option B follows
this sequence. Option A lacks modeling and guided practice, C lacks
instruction entirely, and D is a decontextualized strategy.
Question 4
A district's universal screening data show that 40% of second graders are
below benchmark in oral reading fluency. Which next step is most appropriate
according to a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework?
A. Immediately refer all these students for special education evaluation
Page 3
, B. Conduct diagnostic assessments to identify specific skill deficits and
plan Tier 2 interventions
C. Wait until the next benchmark period to see if they catch up
D. Provide Tier 3 intensive intervention to all students below benchmark
Correct Answer: B - Conduct diagnostic assessments to identify
specific skill deficits and plan Tier 2 interventions
RATIONALE
In MTSS, universal screening identifies students needing further
assessment; diagnostic assessments pinpoint deficits for targeted Tier
2 support. Option A bypasses the problem-solving process, C delays
intervention, and D is too intensive without diagnostic data.
Question 5
Which statement best describes the relationship between vocabulary
knowledge and reading comprehension according to the Simple View of
Reading?
A. Vocabulary is a component of decoding.
B. Vocabulary is a component of linguistic comprehension.
C. Vocabulary directly determines decoding ability.
D. Vocabulary is unrelated to reading comprehension.
Correct Answer: B - Vocabulary is a component of linguistic
comprehension.
RATIONALE
In the Simple View, reading comprehension is the product of decoding
and linguistic comprehension. Vocabulary is a key part of linguistic
comprehension. It does not directly determine decoding, nor is it
unrelated to comprehension.
