their reading development primarily because it helps students Correct Answer:
use knowledge of letter-sound correspondence to decode words

appropriate for a student who: Correct Answer: needs help developing phonemic
segmentation skills

beginning readers by helping them: Correct Answer: identify in spoken language
separate sounds that can be mapped to letters
Which of the following first grade students has attained the HIGHEST level of
phonemic awareness? Correct Answer: a student, who after hearing the word,
hot, and the sound /i/, can substitute /i/ for/o/ and make the word, hit

,A kindergarten teacher asks a small group of students to repeat after her. First,
she says the word, grape, and then pronounces it as 'gr' and 'ape'. Next she says
the word, , take, and then pronounces it as 't' and 'ake'. This activity is likely to
promote the students' phonemic awareness primarily by: Correct Answer:
encouraging them to divide words into onsets and rimes
A teacher shows a student pictures of familiar objects. AS the teacher points to
the first picture, she asks the student to name the object in the picture. Next, she
asks the student to count on his fingers the sounds he makes as he says the word
again. This activity is most likely to promote which of the following? Correct
Answer: phonemic awareness skills
A beginning level ELL student can consistently blend individual phonemes to make
simple English words composed of 2 or 3 phonemes, but is having difficulty

(trap, clip, spin) Which of the following questions would be most important for

Correct Answer: Does the student's primary language have consonant blends?
A fourth grade student reads on grade level and consistently scores very high on
spelling tests that are part of weekly word study activities. However, the student
often misspells the same words and other familiar words, in everyday writing. The
following table shows examples of typical errors the student makes on class
writing assignments and in informal notes to friends: girl-gril; instead-intead;
decided-decideded; independent-indepednent; interrupted-interruted. The
student's overall spelling performance suggests that the student most likely has a
weakness in which of the following? Correct Answer: segmenting and sequencing
phonemes in words
A preschool child picks up an unfamiliar book, opens it t the end, points to the
text, and begins to 'pretend read' the story. These behaviors suggest that the
child most likely: Correct Answer: has developed an understanding that print
carries meaning
A preschool child draws a stick figure and makes some unintelligible scribbles
around it. When she shows it to her teacher, she points to the scribbles and says,
"this say, I love my mommy". This behavior suggests that the child most likely
, Correct Answer: has grasped the idea that the function of print is distinct from
that of pictures
At the end of each school day, a preschool teacher encourages the children to talk
about the day's events. As the children describe each event, the teacher writes it
on large block paper. Afterward, the teacher reads the list back to the class. This
activity would contribute to the children's literacy development primarily by
promoting their: Correct Answer: awareness that speech can be represented by
writing.
A kindergarten teacher hangs labels on key objects in the classroom, puts up
posters that include words and captions, and always has a big book on display for
the children's use. This kind of classroom environment is most likely to help
promote children's Correct Answer: development of an awareness of print
A preschool teacher is reading a story to his class. As he reads, he holds the book
so the children can see the words and pictures while his finger follows the line of
print. This activity would contribute to the children's reading development
primarily by: Correct Answer: developing their awareness of left to right
directionality
Pointing out the title, beginning, middle, and end of a book to a group of
preschool children before reading the book aloud to them contributes to their
reading development primarily by promoting their: Correct Answer: development
of book-handling skills
Which of the following strategies would be most effective in promoting
kindergarten children's ability to recognize and name letters of the alphabet?
Correct Answer: the teacher says the name of a letter while the children each
trace its shape on a cutout letter
Having kindergarten children practice tracing letters of the alphabet in sand is
most appropriate for children who are having the most difficulty Correct Answer:
developing letter formation skills
a preschool teacher shows a group of children pictures of everyday objects. Below
each picture is printed the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to the word's
initial sound. As the teacher points to each picture, she names the object, then
she points to the letter underneath it and says the sound it makes. The teacher
