CSET multiple subject Exam Solved
Alphabetic Principle - Answer- Letters and letters patterns represent the sounds of
spoken language.
There is a systematic and predictable relationship between letters and sounds.
Automaticity - Answer- The ability to process information with little or no effort
Blending - Answer- Combining individual phonemes to form words or combining onsets
and rimes to make syllables, then combining syllables to make words.
Concepts of Print - Answer- Basic knowledge about how print and books work, for
example, print represents spoken language; print is directional from left to right and top
to bottom; books are read from front to back; the strings of letters separated by spaces
in text are words, and individual letters are different from words; sentences begin with
capital letters and end with periods, return sweep etc.....
Assessment: Marie Clay
Phonemic Awareness - Answer- The ability to hear, identify,and manipulate the
individual sounds, phonemes, in oral language.
According to National Reading Panel, it is the single best predictor of reading success
for beginners. Most kids can develop by first grade.
Assessment: Yopp Singer test
Phonics - Answer- Method of teaching reading by training beginners to associate letters
with their sound values. Goal is to help learners use alphabetic principle.
Assessment: make sure it has enough multisyllabic words
Scaffolding - Answer- Temporary support that is tailored to a learner's needs and
abilities and aimed at helping the learner master the next task in a given learning
process
Daily minimum LA time K-3 - Answer- 2.5 hours
Daily minimum LA time 4-8 - Answer- 2 hours
Prosody - Answer- The patterns of stress and intonation in a language.
Students need to use proper stress, emphasis, pitch, pauses, phrasing, intonation
,Segmenting - Answer- Breaking word down into individual phonemes.
Linguist who popularized critical period - Answer- Eric Lenneberg
Phonemic awareness assessment - Answer- Yopp Singer test of phonemic awareness
(or one of many others on internet)
Phonological awareness - Answer- Phonological awareness is a broad skill that
includes identifying and manipulating units of oral language - parts such as words,
syllables, and onsets and rimes. A small part of that is phonemic awareness, which
refers to the specific ability to focus on and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in
spoken words.
Universal language acquisition theory - Answer- Chomsky, language is innate, prewired
Vygotsky's Theory - Answer- This theory proposes that social interaction precedes
development; consciousness and cognition are the end product of socialization and
social behavior
Contrast with Piaget, who proposed that development precedes learning. Vygotsky
thought social development preceded learning.
Krashen's hypotheses - Answer- Learning vs acquisition
Monitor
Natural order
Comprehensible input
Affective filter
Instructional strategies for phonemic awareness - Answer- Phoneme isolation (what's
first sound in ball)
Phoneme identity (what sound is same in these words)
Phoneme classification (which word does not belong)
Phoneme substitution
Phoneme segmentation
Phoneme blending
Phonics instruction should be - Answer- Systematic and explicit
Fluency - Answer- Ability to read accurately, effortlessly and with appropriate prosody.
Research has found strong relationship between fluency and comprehension.
To teach: model daily (then Ss read what you modeled to parent/tutor/teacher/peer), Ss
orally reread at their independent reading level, choral reading, pair reading, reader's
theater, Ss do a lot of independent reading, Ss try to build reading endurance.
, Can use technology like book on tape while reading, if level is at or below Ss
independent level
Use all genres especially poetry.
Assess with timed readings and graph throughout the year
To teach comprehension - Answer- Teach:
1. monitoring strategies
2. the use of graphic organizers
3. story structure
4. the use of mental imagery
5. predicting
6. paraphrasing
7. summarizing

Spelling inventory - Answer- Pearson
Stages of the Writing Process - Answer- Prewrite (task, purpose, audience, note taking,
outlining, graphic organizer), draft, revise, edit, publish
Folktales - Answer- From oral tradition
Prose narratives
Include fairy tales, legends, fables, tall tales
How to measure text complexity - Answer- Quantitative (computer based software)
Assessment
Qualitative: analyze complexity of meaning, purpose, structure, theme, knowledge
demands, language clarity and conventions
Text complexity levels - Answer- Frustrated < 89 accuracy and 75 comprehension
Instructional 90-94 accuracy and 75-89 comprehension
