language occurs:

in predictable stages and patterns of development - ANS in predictable stages and patterns of
development

an understanding of the functions and uses of print and writing - ANS an understanding of the
functions and uses of print and writing
which of the following emergent readers shows clear evidence of having begun to develop
phonemic awareness?

Prior to having a guest presenter in class, an upper-elementary teacher could best facilitate

presentation
discussing with students the benefits of paying attention and listening carefully during the
presentation - ANS guiding students in developing a list of questions they would like to have
answered by the presentation
A second-grade teacher begins a read-aloud of an informational passage by asking students to
think of a good title for the passage while they listen. After reading, the teacher writes down

following literacy skills?
reading fluency
phonological awareness
speaking fluency - ANS reading fluency
Using structural analysis would be most effective for identifying which of the following words?
rechargeable
allegiance - ANS rechargeable
Research has shown that phonics instruction is an effective tool for developing children's early
literacy when it is reinforced with:
decodable reading material
repetitive oral language drills - ANS decodable reading material
which of the following statements about the encoding and decoding of text is accurate?
students should be taught decoding and encoding together because these are reciprocal
processes that mutually reinforce each other
students should develop encoding processes first and then learn how to apply the sounds of
letters to various decoding activities - ANS students should be taught decoding and encoding
together because these are reciprocal processes that mutually reinforce each other
Before learning to spell words with str- as an initial blend, students will need to have learned to
spell words that begin with:
