WGU D668 ELEMENTARY LITERACY
CURRICULUM UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
●● reading brain
Answer: the network of brain regions that work together to decode,
comprehend, and interpret written language
●● frontal lobe
Answer: helps us focus and remember what we're reading and is where
speech is produced
●● temporal lobe
Answer: listens to sounds and helps us understand words
●● parietal lobe
Answer: helps us see and recognize letters and words and is where a
written word is segmented into its sounds (i.e., word analysis and
sounding out words)
●● occipital lobe
Answer: looks at the words on the page and helps us with sight
recognition
,●● broca's area
Answer: helps us articulate ideas as well as use words accurately in
spoken and written language
●● planum temporale
Answer: part of the brain that plays an important role in processing
language and sounds, helping with understanding speech and reading
●● cerebellum
Answer: the part of the brain that helps us with balance, coordination,
and smooth movements. It also helps us focus and stay steady when
we're writing or paying attention
●● multi-tiered systems of support (MTTS)
Answer: a framework that provides varying levels of academic and
behavioral interventions to support the diverse needs of all students
●● structured literacy
Answer: an evidence-based approach to teaching literacy skills,
particularly to individuals with dyslexia or struggling readers. It involves
systematic, explicit instruction that teaches the relationships between
sounds and letters, along with language structure, such as phonology,
orthography, morphology, syntax, understanding, and semantics,
sequentially and explicitly
, ●● phonology
Answer: the study of sounds in language, like how words are made up of
different sounds and how those sounds come together to form words. It
helps us understand how we speak and how we hear language
●● sound-symbol
Answer: the understanding that letters and letter combinations (symbols)
make different sounds
●● syllables
Answer: parts of a word that contains one vowel sound, with or without
surrounding consonant sounds. When we say words, we can hear
different syllables by noticing the beats or sounds in the word
●● morphology
Answer: the study of how words are put together with smaller parts
called morphemes, which can be prefixes, suffixes, or root words. By
understanding morphology, we can figure out the meaning and structure
of words
●● syntax
Answer: the grammar rules for putting words together in sentences. It
helps us understand how to arrange words in the correct order to make
clear and meaningful sentences
