Comprehensive Questions
A second-grade teacher frequently reads aloud informational books
related to grade-level content in social studies, science, and the arts.
The teacher supports students in developing their own questions
during and after the read-alouds and then helps them conduct
research on their questions using grade-level resources the teacher
has collected on these topics. In keeping with evidence-based best
practices, providing direct instruction in which of the following
aspects of informational text would be most essential to students'
success and growing independence in using informational texts for
personal research? -✔ ✔ Correct Answersusing text features to
locate specific information in a text
During a series of integrated science and literacy lessons, a third-
grade teacher plans to have students read several articles from a
children's magazine about new technologies for cleaning up pollution
,in the oceans. After they read the articles, students will work in small
groups to create a graphic organizer comparing and contrasting two of
the solutions. To prepare students to integrate information across
texts in this activity, which of the following steps would be most
essential for the teacher to take? -✔ ✔ Correct Answersproviding
explicit instruction in how to identify the most important points and
key details presented in the texts
A third-grade teacher periodically reads aloud from a chapter in
content-area textbooks using think-aloud while reading. Following is
an example. "The moon does not shine on its own. The sun's light
reflects off the moon." Hmm. I'm imagining that the sun is like a
flashlight shining on the moon in the dark. "As the moon rotates, only
the part that faces the sun is visible from the Earth." I'm not quite
sure what 'visible' means, but it sounds kind of like vision, which I
know has to do with eyes. It probably means the part that we can see
from the Earth. Now, that makes me wonder— why do we see
,different amounts of the moon at different times? Let's see if the next
part of the chapter explains this. ..." The teacher's practice is most
likely to promote students' reading comprehension of informational
texts by: -✔ ✔ Correct Answersmodeling for them metacognitive
comprehension strategies.
A fifth-grade teacher plans to have students read a chapter about the
American Revolutionary War from their social studies textbook. The
following is an excerpt from the chapter. The Battle of Bunker Hill
took place on June 17, 1775. At the time, the American army occupied
the area from Cambridge to the Mystic River. American troops
gathered in Cambridge Common on the evening of June 16, 1775, and
set out for Bunker Hill. Upon reaching Bunker Hill, however, officers
decided to move to Breed's Hill, a smaller hill closer to Boston. Given
this excerpt from the chapter, which of the following graphic
organizers would best promote students' awareness of the chapter's
text structure? -✔ ✔ Correct Answerstimeline
, A second-grade class includes several students who are developing-
level (intermediate) English learners. The teacher is planning to use a
whole-class read-aloud to provide instruction in making inferences
when reading informational text. Which of the following
differentiation strategies would best support students with diverse
language abilities in making text-based inferences? -✔ ✔ Correct
Answersproviding the English learners with sentence frames to
scaffold the lesson (e.g., "I think that ________. I think so because I
read ________ and because I know that ________.")
Two proficient readers are answering post-reading comprehension
questions about a chapter in a content-area textbook. • The first
student demonstrates exceptional recall of details from the chapter
but has difficulty answering questions about the gist of the chapter. •
The second student can give an outstanding summary of the chapter
but has difficulty remembering specific facts from the chapter. Which
of the following best explains the most likely reason for the students'
