RICA SUBTEST 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+. A first grade teacher considers ways to help a new student who is beginning English learner development skills and phonemic awareness and knowledge of English sounds. Which of the following steps will be most important for the teacher to take first - correct answer. gaining some basic familiarity with the sound system of the student's primary language A first grade teacher leads a small group of beginning readers in a lesson focused on decoding simple words composed of letters that students have learned to sound out in isolation. The teacher begins by writing word "sat" on the board. In keeping the research-based practices, the most appropriate step for the teacher to take next in this lesson would be to - correct answer. Teach the student to blend the sounds in the word "sat" slowly and continuously without pausing Which of the following strategies would best help a kindergarten teacher access a students ability to blend phonemes - correct answer. Say the sounds /d/, /o/ and /g/ separately, then ask the child to say them as one word Which of the following informal assessments would be most appropriate to use to access on individual student's phonemic awareness - correct answer. Asking the student to identify the sound at the beginning, medial, or final of a spoken word (e;g "What sound do you hear at the end of step?" The cat question if you get it the answer is - correct answer. Have the students segment the sounds in the word /c/ /a/ /t/ in order or have the student break apart the word "cat" What strategy is best used to teach phonemic awareness - correct answer. Say the individual sounds of a word A student who joins a first grade classroom in late October performs poorly on a phonemic-awareness activity. To address this students reading needs, which of the following steps would be most important for the teacher to take first - correct answer. conducting formal phonemic awareness assessments with the student Which of the following statements best explains why students continue to need systematic, explicit instruction to support and promote fluency even after they have achieved automaticity? - correct answer. Vocabulary and academic language continue to be significant factors that disrupt student's fluency A third grade teacher develops a word list from a small group of students that includes words representing complex phonics patterns. After reviewing the list with the students the teacher did a dictation activity with a different set of words that follow the same pattern and the student wrote down the word. This activity demonstrates the teachers awareness of the importance of? - correct answer. Using writing activities to give students opportunities to apply phonics knowledge to new words A first grade provides students with explicit, systematic phonics instruction to promote their reading development when designing activities to teach letter sound correspondences, the teacher should - correct answer. Provide reading opportunities for students to practice sounds in context after studying the sounds in isolation Prosody has which of these characteristics - correct answer. Variation in pitch and intonation Prosodic oral reading both supports and is supported by reader's - correct answer. Active comprehension processes (ACP) Which of the following questions focuses most directly on a student ability to read with prosody? - correct answer. Can the student accurately read aloud a grade-appropriate passage in a manner that sounds like natural speech? Which of the following factors will most disrupt a second grade students fluency with the respect to accuracy? - correct answer. the students does not regularly use mega cognitive strategies to monitor comprehension In a curriculum based oral reading fluency assessment conducted in September a second grade student has an accuracy rate of 98% reading rate of 39 words per minute, or just words below 50% of our benchmark 51 words per minute. These results, such as the teacher should plan instruction for the students that focuses on which of following dimensions of reading fluency - correct answer. Promoting the student's automatic word recognition (automaticity) Which of following informal assessments would be most appropriate and effective to administer at the beginning of the school year to assess first grade students understanding of letter-sound correspondence - correct answer. Asking individual students to say the sound a letter makes as the teacher points to individual letters in randomly organized letters in randomly organized list of letters A teacher is helping students learn orthographic generalization for adding suffixes to words ending in "y". In addition promoting their spelling development, this type of lesson is likely to promote students reading development by - correct answer. Enhancing decoding skills In an oral fluency assessment in January, a second grade student reads aloud an unfamiliar passage selected by the teacher, while the teacher records the student's reading performance on a separate copy of the text, noting the student's reading time and then calculating the students oral reading fluency score. The teacher's annotated copy of the passage appears below. Based on the student's assessment results and reading performance during the assessment, fluency instruction for this student should focus primarily on - correct answer. Providing the student with corrective feedback to increase accurate reading The patterns of errors in this assessment most clearly suggest that this student - correct answer. relies heavily on contextual clues of word recognition A third grader likes to read and demonstrates strong word recognition skills, but he typically reads aloud in a halting manner and sometimes has difficulty answering comprehension questions after reading aloud a simple text. To help addresss the student's reading difficulty, the teacher selects familiar texts at his independent reading level and then marks appropriate phrasing, as illustrated below example: Once upon a time/ In a kingdom by the sea/ a brave young princess/ decided to explore. - correct answer. helping him learn how to recognize and convey idea units as he reads aloud A kindergarten teacher bases a number of reading-related activities on "sound of the day" for one activity, children substitute the sound of the day for the sound in each of their names (e.g., if /m/ is the sound of the day, Jack becomes Mack) and call each other by their "new names. This activity is most likely to promote the reading development of students by: - correct answer. Preparing them to learn about concepts of onset and rimes When reading aloud familiar nursery rhymes, a kindergarten teacher occasionally substitutes rhyming words for the words of the original text. (such as "twinkle, twinkle, little car" or "one, two, chuckle my boo") Students are asked to identify the "mistakes." This activity could best be used to assess students - correct answer. ability to perceive unexpected changes in sound patterns A kindergarten teacher has designed an "alphabet bingo" game. Each student has a card with some of the letters of the alphabet printed on it and sets the loose titles. When the teacher calls out, "B" for example, students try to find a tile with a B on it and match it to a B on their cards. The activity is likely to be most effective in promoting which of the following reading skills? - correct answer. Associating the names of the letters with their shapes
