A first-grade teacher has devised her intervention groups for decoding skills. In order to ensure that the
groups are flexible and not composed of the same students for the entire year, she will need to
implement: - AMSWER-curriculum-based monitoring assessments on an ongoing basis.
A kindergarten teacher assesses her student with a mid-year assessment and he is still unable to
recognize all upper and lowercase letters, isolate sounds in CVC words, or produce rhyming words for
targeted words. She has provided small group instruction, individual instruction, and has held a
conference with the parents to provide additional support in the home. What is the next step the
teacher should take to ensure the student can obtain progress in these areas? - AMSWER-Meet with a
school-based team, consisting of administrators, support personnel, select teachers, and reading coach
to determine various strategies that can be used to support the student with mastering grade
appropriate skills
A school runs a daily independent reading program to help promote enjoyment of literature. A student
who is a struggling reader has brought in a popular new novel which is at his frustration level. The best
way for the teacher to respond would be to: - AMSWER-give the student a book of a similar genre or
style which is at his independent reading level.
A second-grade student assessed below grade level for fluency but is able to decode words in isolation
and scores above grade level for reading comprehension. The student needs direct instruction in the
area of: - AMSWER-pacing during fluency instruction
A teacher has completed a whole group lesson on a grammar topic. She has assigned the students five
sample questions to complete while she walks around the room and provides feedback and corrections
to their work. This instructional component is an example of: - AMSWER-structured and guided practice.
A teacher has recently begun a new unit on poetry techniques. She has just taught a lesson on similes
and metaphors and wants to check her students' understanding of these concepts. The best way to
assess this would be to: - AMSWER-ask the students to independently label the similes and metaphors in
a poem.
A third-grade teacher uses the results of a CLOZE reading passage in order to provide support to her
students with independent reading. This assessment plays an effective role because: - AMSWER-it
determines the appropriate independent reading level for the students.
