Science of Teaching Reading Exam|
33 Questions and answers
1.) Which of the following practices by a prekindergarten teacher best
reflects as assets-based approach to reading instructions?
a) planning instruction in various areas of reading using continually adjusted
flexible groupings according to each child's current assessed knowledge and
skills
b) allowing individual children to develop an interest in literacy at their own
pace before introducing them to foundational reading concepts and skills
c) ensuring that each child in an emergent-reading group has mastered the
current reading concept or skill before moving the group on to the next
lesson
d) building opportunities in each lesson for children to use multiple
modalities to deepen their understanding of new reading concepts and skills

- 2.) A first grade student has been identified as having dyslexia and has
begun intervention. Which of the following approaches to instruction would
be most effective to enhance the student's reading development?
a) allowing the student to use colored overlays on all classroom texts to
ameliorate the vision difficulties caused by dyslexia
b) using reading materials with the student for instruction and guided
practice that utilize specialized fonts designed for people with dyslexia
c) arranging for the student to spend time each day on the classroom
computer using a working-memory training program
d) providing the student with systematic, explicit multimodal instruction in all
the essential, evidence-based components of reading - -D
- 3.) A third-grade teacher frequently uses an online application at the end
of a lesson that allows the teacher to post a small task or question for
students on the classroom computer. For example, after a lesson on prefixes,
the teacher posts three base words and asks students to change the
meaning of each word by adding an appropriate prefix from the lesson.
Throughout the day, students post their individual responses for the teacher
to review. In this scenario, the teacher is using technology for which of the
following assessment purposes?
a) formative assessment
b) diagnostic assessment
c) summative assessment
d) screening assessment - -A
- At the beginning of the school year, a first-grade teacher conducts a brief
screening assessment in which the teacher asks small groups of students to
, spell four CVC words and one word with a consonant blend (eg., bag, hen,
sit, mop, slug). In addition to providing the teacher with information about
students' knowledge of letter-sound correspondences, this type of
assessment would also provide information about students' development in
which of the following other areas related to emergent reading?
a) vocabulary knowledge
b) phonological awareness
c) phonemic awareness
d) listening comprehension - -C
- 5.) A prekindergarten teacher is preparing an introductory lesson focused
on isolating/identifying the initial sound in spoken words for a small group of
children whose informal assessments indicate that they are ready to learn
this skill. The group includes an English learner. Which of the following
instructional supports would best promote the English Learner's success in
achieving the instructional goal of the lesson?
a) selecting stimulus words for the lesson that have sounds common to both
English and the English learners home language
b) developing an alternative lesson for the English learner that focuses on
skills that fall earlier along the phonological awareness continuum
c) conducting tasks with the English learner that require the child to segment
and blend the sounds of simple spoken English words
d) encouraging the English learners family to engage in wordplay activities
with their child such as recitin - -A
- 6.) As part of an informal assessment of students' phonemic awareness
skills. a kindergarten teacher meets with individual students and says,
"We're going to play a word game. I'm going to say a word that you know.
When you hear it, I want you to say each sound in the word in the right
order. For example, "if I say fan, you should say f/a/n." The teacher then
helps the student practice the procedure using the practice words, in, sat,
and top. After meeting with each student, the teacher reviews students
performance and notices that several students performed similarly on the
assessment. A representative sample of their assessment results is shown
below:

Given the information provided, which of the following student activities
would be most appropriate for the teacher to include when planning
differentiated instruction to promote the students gro - -A
