Teaching Reading 5205 | 316 Questions And Answers Phonological Awareness Correct Answer - a student's ability to identify and manipulate units of oral languageEx. Using the word Plane to figure out the word lane (delete the p sound), Using the word cat to figure out rat
Phonological awareness Correct Answer - As a kindergarten teacher, you ask students to say the word "bedtime" and then ask them what this word would be without "bed." What skill will you be able to give your students feedback on?
Feedback (in education) Correct Answer - is information given to the learner or teacher about the learner's performance relative to learning goals or outcomes. It should aim towards (and be capable of producing) improvement in students' learning.Ex. Teacher comments on an essay
One-to-one correspondence Correct Answer - Examples of _____________________________________.1. Pointing to each word in a book as the student reads that specific word from left to right.2. Pointing to each block as a student counts each block.
Phoneme deletion Correct Answer - You ask your students to say "frown." You ask them so say it again without the "fr". This is an example of what phonological awareness skill?
Last phonemic skill to be developed/most complex Correct Answer - Phoneme deletion of a medial letter in a blend
Ex. "Say Flame. Now say it without the l"
(Usually not mastered until age 9)
Blend Correct Answer - Each letter is pronounced individually, but quickly
Ex. pl, br, fr
Digraph Correct Answer - has two consonants and only makes one sound such as sh/sh/ch/wh/th
Concepts of Print Assessment Correct Answer - You ask your students the following questions below. What are you assessing?
Can you point to the front cover of the book?
Can you point to the picture at the top of the book?
Can you show me one letter?
Can you show me where to read after this word?
Point along with your finger as you read
Pointing along as you read allows students to better understand letters, words, and sounds and helps with directionality. Correct Answer - When you ask a student, "Can you show me where to read after this word?" They cannot. What instructional method will help the student understand this concept of print?
Directionality Correct Answer - Understanding that print is read from top to bottom and left to right, and also that books are read from front to back
Sequence of Oral Language Development Correct Answer - 1. Answering "yes" or "no" to simple questions
2. Answer questions with complete sentences
3. Using vocabulary related to your subject or content in during conversations correctly
4. Giving an oral presentation and keeping your audience in mind
Advance Correct Answer - Research shows a correlation (connection) between reading development and phonemic awareness in that reading skills will _________________ as students
become more phonemically aware
reading skills improve Correct Answer - As phonemic awareness improves
A. Administering a phonemic-awareness assessmentThe student is having trouble with short vowel sounds. A phonemic- awareness assessment will allow you to focus on what phonemic segmentation difficulties the student is having. Correct Answer - As a first grade teacher, you notice a student has difficulty decoding the words "pan," "vet," "fin," and "dot." What is the best way to confirm the student's difficulty?A. Give the student a phonemic-awareness assessment that tests how well the student breaks down words into phonemes.B. Give the student
a list of high-frequency words to read aloud.C. Have the student read a short story and graph his words per minute.D. Check the student's understanding by explicitly asking questions about a story to test comprehension.
The student will learn the alphabetic principle. Correct Answer - You use glow-in-the dark chalk to write individual letters on the board and have students take turns pointing a flashlight and naming each individual letter. What is your learning objective?
Concepts of Print Correct Answer - What are you teaching when you ask students, "how many words are in the sentence," and "where does the sentence begin and end in a paragraph?"
Phonological Awareness Correct Answer - oral language is made up of a variety of unitsEx. The ability to hear and identify different sounds in wordsThink- Th-i-n-k
Sounds Correct Answer - In phonological awareness student realize that oral language can be broken down into many ways. For example sentences can be broken down into words, words can be broken into syllables, and syllables can be broken into ____________________.
Alphabetic knowledge Correct Answer - The ability to recognize, name, and write letters.
Letter knowledge Correct Answer - Giving sounds for an individual letter and writing letters in response to their individual sounds Phonological awareness through alliteration Correct Answer - As a preschool teacher, you ask students to walk around the room and name five objects that begin with the same sound. Students find "pencils," "paper," "pens," "pastels," and "paint." What literacy concept is supported by this lesson?
Alliteration Correct Answer - Repetition of initial consonant sounds
Interpretation of a communicated message Correct Answer - Shows active listeningEx. Students in kindergarten choose their favorite book from three class books a teacher reads often in class (without showing the book to the class) and explains the beginning, middle, and end of the book. Students in class have to guess which story the student is explaining.
1. Alphabetic knowledge2. Phonemic awareness Correct Answer - Two best predictors of
future reading success (for beginning readers)
NOT two best predictors of future reading success Correct Answer - phonics skills, reading fluency (reading without stopping too much), and sight word recognition
What would be the most effective skill when you are teaching the phonemic awareness skill, segmentation?
A. Finding the odd sound of four spoken words
B. Saying individual sounds in sequence (in a row) for students to combine into a word
C. Pronounce a word and have students put an object in a row to represent each sound
D. Ask students, "Can you recognize the common sound in these three two-syllable words?" Correct Answer - C. Pronounce a word and have students put an object in a row to represent
each sound
Ex. When students listen to you say a word and then show you when they hear a sound by putting down a counter, object, or ringing a bell they are showing you the phonemic awareness skill of segmentation
Sight words/high frequency words Correct Answer - words that are seen repeated in almost any page of text
Decoding instruction Correct Answer - Students can use words they already know to sound out/figure out new words.
Ex. If they know the word "cat," it will be easier for them to figure out "bat"
Decoding instruction Correct Answer - Would the words mat, bat, and sat be used to teach sight word instruction or decoding instruction?
Sight word instruction Correct Answer - Would the words who, what, when, could, there,
and was be used to teach sight word instruction or decoding instruction? Benchmark Correct Answer - a goal that is set
Benchmark Paper Correct Answer - An example of what a student paper should look like and include (goal of writing the paper)
Authentic context Correct Answer - learning in a real-life context, demonstrating to students that their learning is connected, relevant, and can have an impact upon the world around
them, as well as their future selves
You are a kindergarten teacher. You set a benchmark goal for your class to learn 10 new sight words by the end of the week. First, you teach the words with flashcards. Second you have students learn using stations with authentic contexts, and during this time you pull students in a small group-workshop activity in which students view a printed letter, say the word, and form the word using pipe cleaners. What is the benefit to students in the small-group workshop?
A. Building reading fluency because you are having student's apply phonological awareness
B. Increasing ability to use multiple sensory modalities to phonetically decode and recognize an unknown word
C. Improving long term memory of a nondecodable word because the student is engaged in multiple student senses of learning
D. Connecting visual language symbols with the sounds they represent Correct Answer - C. Improving long term memory of a nondecodable word because the student is engaged in multiple student senses of learning
Criterion-referenced reading benchmark Correct Answer - identifies a criteria (standard) that is set to show a student has mastered a certain reading skillEx. Understanding main ideas, inferences, and word choice in a passage of text by a certain date
Criterion-referenced test Correct Answer - assessments are designed to measure student performance against a fixed set of predetermined criteria or learning standards—i.e., concise, written descriptions of what students are expected to know and be able to do at a specific stage of
their educationEx. The student should read The Outsiders and identify the main idea of each given paragraph. (The test should cover whatever you objective is!)
Norm-referenced test Correct Answer - A test takers performance reported in comparison
to other test takers in the same age or grade sample. Results are reported in standard scores, percentile ranks, t scores, or z scores.Ex. SAT, IQ tests
Main purpose of a criterion-referenced reading benchmark:
A. Identify a student as a beginning, developing, or proficient reader
B. Compare a student's skills to peers who have taken the same assessment
C. Evaluate the skills of a student by documenting raw scores, percentile ranks, and grade equivalents
D. Sets the standard and time frame for student skill mastery Correct Answer - D. Sets the standard and time frame for student skill masteryA criterion-referenced reading benchmark sets a time period for assessing if a skill has been mastered (may take this benchmark test at least
twice a year)
