Question 1:
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.
Answer:
Accurate, fast word recognition is necessary for development of reading fluency and text
comprehension.
Question 2:
Near the close of the day, a kindergarten teacher guides the students in conversation about

Question 3:
Reading depends on constructing pathways between the phonological, orthographic, and
meaning processors. 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
Answer:

meaning processors.
, Question 4:
After results of a winter screening, six second-graders scored in the "somewhat at risk" range.
What is the next step the teacher team should take? Coordinate what lesson students are
receiving in the core instruction program. Analyze the screening results and gather additional
diagnostic assessment data. Interview each student to determine his or her interests. Place
the students in groups based on the leveled text they can read.
Answer:
Analyze the screening results and gather additional diagnostic assessment data.
Question 5:

Question 8:
What is the main reason that the ability to identify, segment, blend, and manipulate individual
phonemes in spoken words is important for reading an alphabetic writing system? This skill
ultimately supports the ability to read words "by sight." Each letter in a word represents an
