D668 OA EXAM SECTION 1
1. What is a key component of structured literacy instruction?
A. Teaching decoding only through memorization
B. Integrating explicit, systematic teaching of decoding and encoding skills
C. Using discovery learning as the primary reading method
D. Teaching reading without phonics instruction
Correct Answer:
B. Integrating explicit, systematic teaching of decoding and encoding skills
Rationale:
Structured literacy emphasizes explicit, systematic, cumulative instruction in decoding,
encoding, phonology, morphology, syntax, and meaning.

school year?
A. By allowing teachers to skip instructional planning
B. By giving teachers a clear guide on what to teach and when
C. By replacing assessment data
D. By requiring all students to complete the same worksheet daily
Correct Answer:

with required skills and content across the year.
,3. True or False: Dyslexia is a visual problem where individuals see letters and
words backward.
A. True
B. False
Correct Answer:
B. False
Rationale:
Dyslexia is a language-based reading difficulty involving phonological processing,
decoding, and word recognition, not a visual problem of seeing letters backward.
4. True or False: To teach reading most effectively, teachers should use discovery
learning.
A. True
B. False
Correct Answer:
B. False
Rationale:
Reading is most effectively taught through explicit, systematic, evidence-based
instruction, especially for foundational skills.
5. A teacher would like to start a new spelling curriculum. She found a free online
curriculum with fun resources, but it was not accessible for all learners. She
compared it to a district-recommended resource aligned with evidence-based
research and best practices for spelling. She decided to use the district resource.
Which two Four Considerations is the teacher using?
Correct Answer:
Selection of Materials and Differentiation/High-Leverage Practices for Supporting All
Learners
Rationale:
The teacher evaluated instructional materials for evidence-based alignment and
accessibility, showing attention to both resource selection and learner support.
,6. Imagine a teacher preparing to teach reading to a class with different reading
abilities. They break reading into smaller parts like sounds, word meanings, and
sentence structure so all students can learn well regardless of reading level.
What instructional approach is being described?
Correct Answer:
Structured literacy
Rationale:
Structured literacy breaks language and reading into explicit, systematic components
such as phonology, decoding, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
7. A teacher preparing to teach a new book must choose a text that is neither too
easy nor too difficult, but appropriately challenging for students. Which
consideration is being demonstrated?
Correct Answer:
Selection of materials
Rationale:
Selecting appropriately challenging texts helps students stay engaged while building
literacy skills.
8. A kindergarten teacher uses observation and data to choose two different word
sort activities: one for students reading at grade level and another for students
reading below grade level. Which consideration is demonstrated?
Correct Answer:
Differentiation/High-Leverage Practices for Supporting All Learners
Rationale:
Differentiation uses student data to adjust instruction and provide appropriate learning
activities for different readiness levels.
9. A teacher notices that some students struggle with comprehension despite
receiving the same instruction. She assesses whether they need support in
phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, or comprehension and plans
targeted instruction. Which framework is being used?
Correct Answer:
MTSS
,Rationale:
The meaning processor supports vocabulary, semantics, and understanding word
meaning.
32. In the reading brain, which area is primarily responsible for processing
sounds?
A. Phonological Processor
B. Orthographic Processor
C. Meaning Processor only
D. Context Processor only
Correct Answer:
A. Phonological Processor
Rationale:
The phonological processor manages speech sounds and sound-based language
processing.
33. Which part of the brain does not develop naturally and is activated as
students are taught structured literacy lessons focusing on sound-symbol
connections?
A. Planum temporale
B. Visual cortex only
C. Motor cortex only
D. Cerebellum only
Correct Answer:
A. Planum temporale
Rationale:
Structured literacy instruction helps activate brain areas involved in connecting sounds
and symbols for reading.
34. Where in the brain does language comprehension primarily occur?
A. Temporal lobe or areas associated with meaning and context processors
B. Occipital lobe only
C. Cerebellum only
D. Motor cortex only
, D668 OA EXAM SECTION 2
1. What is the purpose of phonics and word analysis activities in the lesson?
A. Deciphering unfamiliar words
B. Avoiding decoding
C. Reading only memorized words
D. Replacing comprehension
Correct Answer:
A. Deciphering unfamiliar words
Rationale:
Phonics and word analysis help students use spelling patterns, word parts, and sound-
symbol knowledge to read unfamiliar words.
2. What skill does fluency practice aim to enhance in the lesson?
A. Reading with expression and pace
B. Drawing illustrations
C. Memorizing punctuation marks
D. Avoiding oral reading
Correct Answer:
A. Reading with expression and pace

Fluency practice improves accuracy, rate, and prosody, helping students read smoothly
and meaningfully.
3. How are vocabulary enrichment activities incorporated into the lesson?
A. Exploring word meanings through context clues and word parts
B. Ignoring unfamiliar words
,C. Copying words without discussion
D. Avoiding morphology
Correct Answer:

Rationale:
Vocabulary instruction is strengthened when students use context and morphology to
understand new words.
4. What is the goal of comprehension activities in the lesson?
A. Developing critical thinking and understanding of texts
B. Avoiding text discussion
C. Reading without meaning
D. Memorizing only titles
Correct Answer:
A. Developing critical thinking and understanding of texts

sentence structures, complex sentences, and transition words such as
“however” and “therefore,” while focusing on refining coherence. Which writing
stage does this represent?
Correct Answer:
Moderately fluent
Rationale:
The student shows strong language control and sentence variety but is still refining
structure and coherence, which fits moderately fluent writing.
