◉ d. both foundational reading skills and oral language development
Many students at risk for reading problems enter school without
exposure to the academic language used in books or preschool

the reading and language gap if their classroom instruction
emphasizes which of the following?
a. oral language comprehension and reading aloud
b. attending to context, including semantic and syntactic cues
c. matching students with interesting reading material
d. both foundational reading skills and oral language development
◉ a. early alphabetic A beginning first-grade student is able to
segment and pronounce the first sound in a spoken word. He tries to
guess at words by looking at the first letter only. When he writes
words, he spells a few sounds phonetically, but not all the sounds.
According to Ehri, this student is most likely in which phase of word-
reading development?
a. early alphabetic
b. later alphabetic
c. prealphabetic
d. consolidated alphabetic
,◉ b. phonology A kindergarten teacher is having students listen to
three spoken words and identify the two words that end with the
same sound. The teacher is focusing on which language system?
a. morphology
b. phonology
c. orthography
d. semantics
◉ d. Determine if the students need remediation in word
recognition, language comprehension, or both. Considering the
Simple View of Reading, what would be the BEST course of action
for a third-grade teacher with concerns about several students who
have not achieved fluency?
a. Observe whether students are able to work on several subskills at
once.
b. Verify that students have been engaged in independent reading at
home for 20 minutes every day.
c. Increase demand on students to improve their passage reading
rate.
d. Determine if the students need remediation in word recognition,
language comprehension, or both.
◉ a. primary difficulties with phonology, decoding, and word
recognition In any first-grade classroom in a typical school in the
, United States, approximately one-third of students are likely to score
in the "basic" or "below basic" range. The largest proportion of those
students is likely to show which characteristics?
a. primary difficulties with phonology, decoding, and word
recognition
b. primary difficulties with phonology only
c. primary difficulties with automatic word recognition only
d. primary difficulties with language comprehension only
◉ b. Reading problems can be treated as easily in third grade as in
first grade. Which of the following statements is FALSE with regard
to an effective implementation of a multi-tiered system of supports
(MTSS)?
a. It is possible for 95 percent of kindergarten students to meet
benchmark by the end of the year.
b. Reading problems can be treated as easily in third grade as in first
grade.
c. Progress-monitoring assessments should be brief, curriculum
based, and economical.
d. Students can learn to read even if there is little help available at
home.
◉ b. both regular and irregular words . One important goal of
