Elementary Education 2 Flashcards
a parent is reading a familiar book one-on-one with a child. The parent asks the child to point to the words of the story as the parent reads them aloud. this activity would be most effective for enhancing the child’s awareness of:
the tracking of print.
a book handling skill that helps them exercise knowledge of several print concepts.
one principle of both first - and second - language acquisition is that learning a first or second language occurs:
in predictable stages and patterns of development.
cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research – they exhibit common patterns of language development.
for a beginning reader to succeed in recognizing the meaning of the word that the reader has just decoded - which of the following must be true:
- the word is already part of the reader’s oral vocabulary.
which of the following early literacy skills is most likely to transfer from a first language when a child is learning a second language?
an understanding of the functions and uses of print and writing.
which of the following emergent readers whose clear evidence of having begun to develop phonemic awareness:
- a child who can identify the initial sound of spoken words.
prior to having a guest presenter in class, an upper elementary teacher could best facilitate listening comprehension by:
guiding students in developing a list of questions they would like to have answered by the presentation
a second-grade teacher begins a read-aloud of an info passage by asking students to think of a good title while they listen. after reading, the teacher-writers down titles the students suggest, and the class members discuss which would be most accurate and informative. this activity promotes students development of:
listening for main ideas and an author’s purpose
when reading aloud, the student is able to recognize written words rapidly and accurately with appropriate expression. This indicates the student has acquired which skills?
reading fluency:
accuracy, appropriate rate, and prosody.
what is prosody: reading connected text with appropriate expression – they are indicators of reading fluency.
using structural analysis would be most effective to identify which of the following words:
rechargeable.
dividing a word into component morphemes
(the prefix re-, the base word charge, and the suffix -able)
phonics instruction is an effective tool for developing early literacy when it is reinforced with:
decodable reading material
which statement about the encoding and decoding of text is accurate:
students should be taught decoding and encoding together because these are reciprocal processes that mutually reinforce each other. They rely on the same foundation of knowledge.
before learning to spell learns with str, the students will need to:
learn how to spell words that begin with st-
an intervention focused on prosody (read something and use emotion) would be most appropriate for addressing the needs of which students who have not yet developed reading fluency?
a student who pauses often to decode words when reading aloud
a teacher could most effectively use repeated readings of text to promote students reading fluency by
encouraging them to read text faster and more accurately with each reading
several 3rd graders lack automatic word recognizing of grade level sight words. which strategy is most effective for them?
providing them with explicit instruction in the spelling of target words and frequent opportunities to use words in writing activities
