Which statement best describes the relationship between reading comprehension and word
decoding in a beginning reader's development?
Developing decoding skills is secondary to the development of text comprehension skills.
Reading comprehension strategies directly facilitate the development of decoding skills.
Accurate, fast word recognition is necessary for development of reading fluency and text
comprehension.
These skills develop independently of one another. - correct answer Accurate, fast word
recognition is necessary for development of reading fluency and text comprehension.
Near the close of the day, a kindergarten teacher guides the students in conversation about the
day's activities. She writes down what is said on large chart paper, then reads it to the class.
This activity would aid their literacy development primarily by promoting which skill?
oral language comprehension
basic understanding of orthographic patterns
phonological awareness
syntactic processing - correct answer oral language comprehension
What is the most important implication of the Four-Part Processing Model for Word
Recognition?
Context is a primary driver of word recognition during reading.
Reading is primarily a visually driven process, dependent on the "brain's letterbox."
Students can compensate for weak phonology if they know the meaning of many words.
Reading depends on constructing pathways between the phonological, orthographic, and
meaning processors. - correct answer Reading depends on constructing pathways between
the phonological, orthographic, and meaning processors.
