Based upon skills delineated in the ELAR TEKS, which of the following best represents appropriate learning objectives for the recognition and analysis of plot within a literary text? - Grade 1Students will describe the main events, the problem, and the resolution in a story that is read aloud. Grade 3Students will analyze the sequence of events, the conflict, and the resolution in a story. Grade 5Students will analyze the rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution in a story. A first-grade teacher plans a small group activity in which students will use their knowledge of letter-sound knowledge to make words. The teacher prepares letter cards using letters (p, n, a, t, s, l) preprinted on cardstock and cut apart. During the small group lesson the teacher gives each student a set of cards. The teacher has the students name each letter and its sound as a review. Then the teacher guides the students to make the word "sat" by moving the letter cards together. The students are then directed to make new words based on the directions the teacher gives. For example, "Change one sound in the word "sat" to make it say "sap". Students make a variety of words using the letters supplied by changing, removing, or rearranging the letters as necessary according to the teacher's directions. Each time a new word is made, the students sound out and pronounce the new word.In order for the making-words activity to successfully enhance the students' graphophonemic knowledge and word recognition, it is important that the teacher does which of the following? - Carefully control the words students are asked to make by only including words that are spelled with letter-sound correspondences that students have been taught. Maria writes "trk" for the word truck. When considering the developmental stages of spelling, Maria uses — - semiphonetic spelling. In a parent/teacher conference, a second-grade teacher discussed several ways fluency could be promoted at home. Which of the following strategies would best help build fluency at home? - A parent could encourage a child to read engaging, grade-level material multiple times.When creating lesson plans to promote specific reading skills, a fourth grade teacher should make sure — - the targeted reading skills relate to an appropriate instructional progression and reflect students' needs. A fifth grade teacher would like her class to complete a book report using a variety of media tools. Each student had to create a book trailer using technology, including pictures, video, audio, and text. The teacher used technology to — - communicate a message through language, medium, and presentation. An elementary teacher regularly makes use of flexible, heterogeneous grouping for literacy centers and homogeneous grouping for guided reading. Heterogeneous grouping is most likely to benefit the students in what way? - Mixed groups allow students to help scaffold learning among peers. A sixth-grade teacher has assigned a novel study to the students in second period. The students were placed in cooperative groups of 5 and assigned a novel written by the same author. Each group is expected to read and discuss the assigned novel. The students in each cooperative group are expected to discuss the book they had been assigned. The goal of discussion, as an instructional strategy, is which of the following? - Student-led discussions help students understand and interpret literature. A kindergarten teacher has planned the following activity to reinforce students' ability to distinguish the initial sound in words. The teacher prepared a brown paper bag filled with small objects. In small groups, the students take turns drawing an object from the bag. Each student names the object and its initial sound (e.g. I have a pencil. The first sound is /p/. I have a fork. The first sound is /f/). What would be the most appropriate scaffolding for an English learner who is having difficulty identifying objects and the initial sounds? - The teacher names all the objects in the bag before having the student participate in the task. A sixth-grade teacher has assigned a novel study to the students in second period. The students were placed in cooperative groups of 5 and assigned a novel written by the same author. Each group is expected to read and discuss the assigned novel. Based on the above scenario, the teacher chose cooperative groups as an approach to reading instruction. Which of the following is most likely the rationale for this choice? - Cooperative learning is linked to increased reader motivation and comprehension. A fourth-grade teacher wants to ensure that the classroom reading environment supports content-area learning for the English Language Learners in class. Which of the following strategies is likely to be most effective in addressing this objective? - Making available in the classroom library texts at various levels that supplement and reinforce the information presented in students' textbooks. A principal analyses scores for a reading assessment used by primary reading teachers. Through analyses, the principal finds that the scores are very inconsistentthroughout the classrooms. Which of the following questions should the principal ask about the assessment? - Are the scores reliable? Which of the following types of assessment would provide the most information about a student's decoding ability and other word analysis skills? - a miscue analysis Students in a fourth grade class work in groups to develop a list of spelling words that focuses on homophones. Which of the following word pairs best represents this concept? - sight and site A teacher plans to assess a student's comprehension of a short story through oral retelling. After the student silently reads the story, the teacher will prompt the student's retelling by asking open-ended questions. To prepare for this assessment the teacher reads the story carefully and composes the questions. Which of the following additional steps would be most helpful for the teacher to take before the retelling activity begins? - Prepare a checklist of the key elements that an effective retelling of this story should include. A first grade teacher is preparing a list of words for her students to learn as sight words. Which of the following pair of words would be most appropriate for that list? - threw and eight A middle school teacher uses a knowledge rating chart to informally assess vocabulary knowledge. Students self-assess their knowledge of the words before and after the vocabulary study. If students know the word, they should be able to use it correctly. If they have heard of it, they may or may not understand the word well. If they don't know it, this is a word absent from their vocabulary. Illustrated below is one students self CONTINUED..
