???
It’s January and you just administered nonsense word fluency benchmark assessments to your kindergarten students.
Ron, a five-year-old boy, identified 10 correct letters sounds on the nonsense word fluency assessment.
Ron’s scores were 28 for the letter naming fluency and 18 for word use fluency. Using the benchmark chart below to help you interpret the scores, how would you proceed with Ron?
We would put Ron in tier 2, as he is not scoring in the “core section” but “stragetic sections”.
This is what I said but I only got 1 out of 2 points. So, it is not correct?
(20:22) Benchmark goal for fall is 41* he is at (33)
ORF = 41 - 28

loosely translated as “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” Students who read more learn more vocabulary words and acquire more background knowledge.
Matthew Effect
a test requiring students to actively write or say the word or definition is measuring _____________
expressive vocabulary
_______________is usually higher than their expressive vocabulary, they will often get higher scores on assessments in which they have only to select an answer from ones that are provided.
receptive vocabulary
draw too general a conclusion
overgeneralize
after showing the students a red ball, she could have shown them a blue ball and said that it was not red. Similarly, she could have shown other toys of a different color and explained that they weren’t red either.

Guidelines for Developing Vocabulary Questions
- Use the Names of Your Students in Your Examples Whenever Possible
- End by Providing a Practice Opportunity
- Reflect the Students’ Lives with Relevant Question
- Use the Exact Vocabulary from the Story in Your Questions and as the “ Correct” Responses
___________are visual representations of vocabulary that help students organize subject matter by having them categorize, label the categories, and discuss concepts related to a target word. The parts of the map are used to teach the class of words to which it belongs ( “What is it?”) , its characteristics ( “What is it like?”) , and some examples.
Semantic maps
______________uses mnemonics to make vocabulary more meaningful to students and hence easier to understand and remember. This method involves two key components, the keyword and a visual depiction of the vocabulary word.
The keyword method
Practice Activities for New Words:
- These two practice activities, can be carried out with large groups, because both involve the use of unison response.
- Another way to provide extra vocabulary practice is through structured peer tutoring. In this approach, the teacher provides each student with a folder that has two pockets attached on the inside. The teacher prints “go” on one pocket, and “stop” on the other pocket. The teacher also provides students with index cards on which a vocabulary word is written on one side and its definition on the other. The students work in pairs in which they take turns being the tutor. The tutor shows each vocabulary word to his partner and asks the partner to restate the definition.
- Preprinted Response Cards and Write-On Response Boards
- Classwide Peer Tutoring
Practice Activities for New Words:
- After teaching a vocabulary word, teachers need to find every opportunity to ask questions about the new word. They can ask questions immediately after students know the definition, they can ask questions before lunch, they can ask questions when the word surfaces in the story.
- Never Too Many Questions
____________ have students make a connection between a new vocabulary word and a word that they already know and then describe why they made it.
Word Associations
__________This adaptation of a self-reflection activity in Bringing Words to Life provides review for descriptive words previously taught in class.
Thumbs Up–Thumbs Down
___________ where the teacher can assign different texts on the same topic so that the learner encounters the word in different contexts.
Narrow Reading
____________ Vocabulary words are listed at the top of the page unless they are also spelling words, and students fill in the blanks of a story with appropriate words.
Fill-In-the-Blank Stories
Each student needs a dictionary, pencil, and paper for this activity. Students are divided into three teams. If students are expected to know the spelling of the word, the teacher says the word; if students do not know the spelling, the teacher points to the word and asks students to read it.
Dictionary “Race-and-Rite”
______________The teacher keeps a list of vocabulary words that have been taught on a chart that is titled the “Good-bye List.” Each morning he writes between 5 and 10 vocabulary words on the board. When students enter the room, they know that they are supposed to write the word, a definition of the word, and a sentence showing correct usage of the word.
The Good-bye List
______________When students are asked to write a paragraph, story, or descriptive paper, the assignment should be structured so that they use targeted vocabulary words. If students have just read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, ask them to write several sentences about what would happen if they were walking outside in the hail.
Vocabulary Words as Themes
____________The teacher prepares a worksheet using the table function of a word processing program. Vocabulary words are listed in the first column and students are asked to write synonyms and/or antonyms in the next column(s). The teacher needs to determine whether a dictionary or textbook is necessary for student success.
Grids
____________Once your students know basic word processing, they can use their computer lab time to make personal dictionaries using the vocabulary words you have taught them.
Word Journals
Design of Vocabulary Instruction:
______ Because of the content area demands for older students, the teacher should plan on directly teaching at least 4 words per week. Words taught during previous weeks should be repeatedly reviewed.
- Frequency
Design of Vocabulary Instruction:
- A variety of activities should actively involve students in writing, speaking, and associating each word with other words. Activities should be designed so that students use critical thinking skills in applying what they have learned about the meaning of the word.
Richness
Design of Vocabulary Instruction:
_________ The use of a Word Wizard chart or wall area helps students use active listening to hear new vocabulary words outside the classroom. Students earn points on the Word Wizard chart by bringing in evidence that they heard, saw, or used one of their assigned vocabulary words outside the classroom—in other classes, at home, in the mall, watching TV, in a book, or from any other source.
Extension of Words Beyond the Classroom
Design of Vocabulary Instruction:
presents additional challenges when teaching vocabulary to older learners.
Choice of Vocabulary
_________, have figurative meanings where the meaning is not literal, implying more than what is said on the surface. When Stephano says, “I crashed my car and am up a creek,” the ________up a creek means in trouble.
- idioms
________ of or relating to thelanguage skills of listening and reading
Receptive
words you use
expressive
CBM
Curriculum-based measurement
Connect a known word to an unknown word
Synonyms
Ape, Apex
Key word, Vocab word
Break words apart to identify smaller words, prefixes, suffixes.
Morphemic analysis
is the active process of obtaining meaning from written text.
Reading comprehension
_____________as one gauge of text difficulty. Text readability formulae take into account factors such as sentence and word length as well as syntactic structure. For example, to calculate the projected grade level of a text, a teacher can use the Dale-Chall readability formula, which is based on an average sentence length and the number of unfamiliar words.
text readability
____________which defines text difficulty in terms of the number of words at a given curriculum level that students are unlikely to know.
critical word factor
The ________ of the text is the first organizational type of text structure.
genre
The two broadest organizational categories, ____________ (fiction) and ___________ expository text (nonfiction) can be broken down into subcategories.
- narrative text
- expository text
It is important to teach your students what structures are, how to recognize them in text, and how to use them to understand what they are reading. Narrative text, which has a _________, can be organized into meaningful parts.
plot
_________ including theme, setting, character, problem, attempts at resolution, resolution, and reactions.
story grammars
___________or the knowledge and skills that readers bring to the reading process, also strongly influence comprehension.
Prior knowledge,
Both listening and reading comprehension depend on children being able to hold information in ____________, also called short term memory, as they simultaneously process new information.
working memory
_____________the teacher increases her voice volume as she says the words that were difficult for the students. If a pause and punch doesn’t provide enough support, the teacher should move into a Together turn, saying the sentence together with students until they can say it independently
pause and punch,
Teachers show students what reading comprehension “looks like” through ______________ when they describe their own thought process in reading the text. This process enables students to “see” the teacher using a skill that could not otherwise be observed. Gradually teachers reduce support until students can independently vocalize their own think-alouds and are accustomed to actively thinking about what they are reading, whether for expository or narrative text.
think-alouds (My Turn)
are questions that students can find the information for directly in the text. The questions are often facts, vocabulary, dates, times, and locations explicitly stated in the text.
Literal questions
are questions for which the answers are not explicitly stated in the text. Thus, students use hints and clues in the text along with their own knowledge and experience to answer them.
Inferential questions
Inferential questions:
- ____________which require readers to determine whether they agree with the author based on their own knowledge and experience, are one type of inferential question.
- ______________are another type of question that require readers to infer as they gather multiple pieces of information throughout the text as a support for their “big” idea.
Bursuck, William D.; Damer, Mary. Teaching Reading to Students Who Are At Risk or Have Disabilities: A Multi-Tier, RTI Approach (Page 290). Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.
- Evaluative questions
- Synthesizing questions
____________ is one strategy that helps students who have difficulty answering inference questions (Raphael, 1986). Teachers introduce the QAR strategy by first explaining to students that there are four types of questions they usually answer about what they have read and then describing each one.
The question–answer relationship ( QAR)
The question–answer relationship ( QAR)
- “Right there” questions are literal questions in the text with the answer usually stated in one sentence.
- Although the answers for “Think and Search” questions are in the text, students have to take information from different sentences or pages to answer them. The second category of questions, called “In Your Head” questions, are inferential. In order to answer them, students are required to think about what they already know or find clues in the text.
- “Author and you” inferential questions require that students take their background knowledge and apply it to clues the author supplies in the text.
- “On my own” questions are based on students’ background knowledge related to the text and can be answered without even reading the selection.

metacognition,
___________ such as the semantic maps discussed in Chapter 6 are visual representations of information that depict the relationships between facts, terms, and ideas within a learning task. Other examples of __________ include tables, timelines, flowcharts, or diagrams used to record, organize, analyze, synthesize, and assess information and ideas.
