levels to students? - ✔✔ correct answer Content
What is a student able to do in the preproduction stage? - ✔✔ correct answer Practice pronouncing
words
Basic vocab
Know up to 500 words

4. Intermediate Fluency
5. Advanced Fluency
Explicit Instruction - ✔✔ correct answer An instructional strategy that emphasizes group instruction.

The teacher models the behaviors taught
, Fundamentals of Diverse Learners-
WGU D096
Explicit instruction and implicit instruction - ✔✔ correct answer Two distinct methods of providing
instruction to diverse students and these are used for various student groups depending on the
functioning level and the subject area
Systematic Instruction - ✔✔ correct answer A carefully planned sequence for instruction, similar to a

materials are gathered and construction begins. The plan for instruction that is systematic is carefully
thought out, strategic, and designed before activities and lessons are planned. Instruction is across
the five components (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension). For
systematic instruction, lessons build on previously taught information, from simple to complex.
3 characteristics of systematic instruction - ✔✔ correct answer Goal based
Supported and scaffolded
Logically sequenced
Progress Monitoring - ✔✔ correct answer Tests that keep the teacher informed about the child's
progress in learning to read during the school year. They are a quick sample of critical reading skills
that will tell the teacher if the child is making adequate progress toward grade level reading ability at
the end of the year.
