to discuss their reading. At the beginning of one student's conference the student
enthusiastically shows the teacher an illustrated children's book about the Apollo space

Question 16 1 out of 1 points Use the information below to answer the three questions
that follow. A second-grade teacher has been using a Tier 2 (targeted) intervention with a
small group of students who have difficulty producing oral and written retellings of narrative
texts. The intervention includes the following steps. 1. The students listen to or read a
narrative text. 2. The teacher uses written sentence frames to support the students in orally
generating sentences about the story focused on key elements of story grammar (e.g. main
characters)] setting initiating event internal response internal plan attempt[s] consequence
resolution). 3. The teacher helps the students put the sentences together in an oral group
retelling of the story. 4. The students in the group work in pairs to engage in an oral
rehearsal of the retelling. The teacher monitors the pairs of students and provides feedback
as needed. 5. The st -

SelectedAnswer: during step 3, explicitly teaching the students how to use transition words
such as but, so, because, and then to connect the sentences logically to reflect relationships
between story elements

Question 17 1 out of 1 points Which of the following strategies for assessing students'
performance in steps 4 and 5 would provide the teacher with the most appropriate data to
determine if the students are making adequate progress in oral language and writing related
to retelling texts? -
Answer✅
Selected Answer: developing an observational checklist to assess students' oral retelling in
step 4 and a rubric to assess their written retellings in step 5, both aligned with the key
elements of story grammar outlined in step 2

, Question 18 1 out of 1 points The teacher is concerned about one student in the group
who participates adequately in steps 1 and 2 but has difficulty putting multiple sentences
together during step 3. Consequently the student has not made progress on steps 4 and 5
despite engaging in the small-group intervention two to three times a week over a period of
weeks and receiving extra one-on-one practice sessions with the teacher once or twice a
week during the same period. The teacher also has noticed that in other class contexts the
student has difficulty generating oral language discourse that is the student's utterances are
not longer than a single sentence. Often the student's utterances consist of a sentence
fragment unless the teacher provides scaffolding such as that provided in step 2 of the
intervention. Which of the following actions would be most appropriate for the teacher to
take next to address the student' -
Answer✅
Selected Answer: collaborating with the school's speech-language pathologist to collect and
analyze oral and written language samples by the student to he inform the development of a
Tier 3 (intensive) language intervention for the student

Question 19 1 out of 1 points A prekindergarten teacher records weekly anecdotal notes
about children's interactions during unstructured play. Included in these notes are
observations about the children's oral language development with respect to important
developmental milestones. For example early in the school year the teacher observes that
one group of three-year-old children speaks primarily with single words a second group
uses phrases combining two words and a third group uses early sentences (e.g. "I want more
blocks."). According to research in addition to utterance length which of the following
language milestones would be most important for the teacher to document to help
distinguish children who are early sentence users from children at earlier stages of language
development? -
Answer✅
Selected Answer: Use prepositions (e.g in on) to convey spatial relationship
