LETRS Unit 6 Session 1

1) The language comprehension domain of the Reading Rope does NOT incorporate which
of the following?
A. Literacy knowledge
B. Language structure
C. Memorization
D. Background knowledge
• Answer: C. Memorization
• Rationale: (LETRS 2025): Language comprehension focuses on background
knowledge, vocabulary, language structures, and literacy experiences. Memorizing text
verbatim does not necessarily indicate true language comprehension skills.
2) Language comprehension becomes more important to reading success…
A. by the end of first grade.
B. about halfway through second grade.
C. about halfway through third grade.
D. after third grade.
• Answer: D. After third grade.
• Rationale: (LETRS 2025): In early grades, decoding and word recognition are critical. As
students move into upper elementary grades, their ability to understand increasingly complex
texts depends more on vocabulary, background knowledge, and language comprehension.

, 3) Which of the following is an example of a reading comprehension product?
A. Making inferences within and between sentences
B. Constructing a mental model
C. Connecting background knowledge with the text
D. Answering a multiple-choice question
• Answer: D. Answering a multiple-choice question
• Rationale: (LETRS 2025): A “product” of comprehension is evidence that readers have
integrated meaning. Processes (like making inferences) occur in the mind, whereas a
multiple- choice answer is a tangible product demonstrating the outcome of
comprehension.
4) The text base refers to the literal meanings in a given text.
A. True
B. False
• Answer: B. False
• Rationale: (LETRS 2025): The “text base” is the initial representation of the text’s meaning,
but it is enriched through the reader’s background knowledge and inferencing, not merely
literal meaning.
5) The best time for teachers to guide students’ thinking, as they construct a mental model, is:
A. Before reading.
B. During reading.
C. After reading.
D. All of the above.
