1. What is one important distinction between the Four-Part Processing
Model for Word Recognition and the Three Cueing Systems model?
a. The Four-Part Processing Model emphasizes visual processes.
b. The Three Cueing Systems model omits or obscures the role of phonology
c. The Three Cueing Systems model emphasizes the role of phonology.
d. The Three Cueing Systems model omits semantic processing.: b. The
Three Cueing Systems model omits or obscures the role of phonology.
2. Many students at risk for reading problems enter school without
exposure to the academic language used in books or preschool experience.
These students are most likely to make progress closing the reading and
language gap if their classroom instruction emphasizes which of the
following?
a. oral language comprehension and reading aloud
b. attending to context, including semantic and syntactic cues
c. matching students with interesting reading material
d. both foundational reading skills and oral language development: d.
both foundational reading skills and oral language development
3. A beginning first-grade student is able to segment and pronounce the
first sound in a spoken word. He tries to guess at words by looking at the
first letter only. When he writes words, he spells a few sounds phonetically,
but not all the sounds. According to Ehri, this student is most likely in which
phase of word-reading development?
a. early alphabetic
b. later alphabetic
c. prealphabetic
d. consolidated alphabetic: a. early alphabetic
4. A kindergarten teacher is having students listen to three spoken words
and identify the two words that end with the same sound. The teacher is
focusing on which language system?
a. morphology
b. phonology
c. orthography
d. semantics: b. phonology
5. Considering the Simple View of Reading, what would be the BEST
course of action for a third-grade teacher with concerns about several
students who have not achieved fluency?
a. Observe whether students are able to work on several subskills at once.
b. Verify that students have been engaged in independent reading at home
for 20 minutes every day.
