LETRS Units 1-4 Post-Test Questions With Complete Solutions 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. - CORRECT ANSWER Accurate, fast word recognition is necessary for development of reading fluency and text comprehension. Near the close of the day, a kindergarten teacher guides the students in conversation about the day's activities. She writes down what is said on large chart paper, then reads it to the class. This activity would aid their literacy development primarily by promoting which skill? oral language comprehension basic understanding of orthographic patterns phonological awareness syntactic processing - CORRECT ANSWER oral language comprehension 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 know the meaning of many words. Reading depends on constructing pathways between the phonological, orthographic, and meaning processors. - CORRECT ANSWER Reading depends on constructing pathways between the phonological, orthographic, and meaning processors. 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.
