writing system makes English more difficult for young students to read and
spell?
It is phonetically transparent.
It is syllabic.
It is morphophonemic.
It is a shallow orthography.: It is morphophonemic.
2. What is one important distinction between the Four-Part Processing Model
for Word Recognition and the Three-Cueing Systems model?
The Three-Cueing Systems model emphasizes the role of phonology.
The Three-Cueing Systems model omits or obscures the role of phonology.
The Three-Cueing Systems model omits semantic processing.
The Four-Part Processing Model emphasizes visual processes.: The
Three-Cueing Systems model omits or obscures the role of phonology.
3. Many students at risk for reading problems enter school without exposure
to the academic language used in books or preschool experience. These
students are most likely to make progress closing the reading and language
gap if their classroom instruction emphasizes which of the following?
oral language comprehension and reading aloud
attending to context, including semantic and syntactic cues
matching students with interesting reading material
both foundational reading skills and oral language development: both founda-
tional reading skills and oral language development
4. 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?
semantics
orthography
morphology
phonology: phonology
5. A second-grade teacher, in preparation for reading a new text about honey-
