LETRS Unit 7 Session 1
1. Which of the following would most likely be assessed on a
screener? Select all that apply.
A. Spelling
B. Phoneme awareness
Correct Answer: B. Phoneme awareness
Expert Rationale:
Screeners are designed to quickly identify students at risk for reading
difficulties by assessing foundational skills crucial to early literacy
development. Phoneme awareness is a critical early literacy skill that
,predicts reading success and is commonly assessed in screening tools.
Spelling is typically assessed through more diagnostic or progress-
monitoring tools rather than quick screeners, as it requires more in-depth
knowledge and practice. Therefore, phoneme awareness is most likely to
appear in screening assessments.

2. Which of the following questions is NOT a criterion for high-quality
text?
A. Is it appropriate and relevant for students of all ages?
B. Does it provide rich language and meaningful content?
C. Does it align with students’ cultural and experiential backgrounds?
D. Is it appropriately challenging for the targeted student group?
Correct Answer: A. Is it appropriate and relevant for students of all ages?
Expert Rationale:
High-quality texts are carefully selected to meet the needs of a specific
student group, considering their developmental stage, background
knowledge, and interests. Being suitable for "all ages" is not a practical
criterion because texts must be targeted to appropriate age and ability
levels to support comprehension and engagement effectively. Thus, high-
quality texts are age- and level-appropriate, not universally relevant across
all ages.

be spent on English language arts?
A. 45 minutes
B. 60 minutes
C. 90 minutes
D. 120 minutes
Correct Answer: C. 90 minutes
Expert Rationale:

minutes of core English Language Arts instruction per day for second
graders. This time frame provides enough opportunity to cover a balanced
literacy program, including phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension,
and writing instruction without overwhelming students' attention and
cognitive capacity.
