FOUNDATIONS OF EARLY LITERACY
Question 1
pts
Fill in the blank. Early learning standards in all states are ___________
requirements for pre-K children up to 60 months of age.
the same
minimum
language
none of the above
Question 2
pts
Why do early learning curricula and instruction need to include explicit
instruction and guided practice in segmenting and blending sounds?
Phonologically manipulating sounds is a learned skill; therefore, children
benefit from meaningful teaching and practice with feedback at the point of
need.
Manipulating sounds is required for accurate listening comprehension and
developing word knowledge and oral language.
Segmenting words by sound parts or syllables is a foundational emergent
reading and writing skill that supports listening, speaking, reading, and
writing.
Hearing sounds correctly and manipulating them in words is highly predictive
of early reading and writing achievement.

Which of the following statements are true about standards-based grading?
(Select all that apply)

decoding to read and spelling to write words
Manipulating the smallest sounds in words
Blending and segmenting sounds
Breaking words into syllables
