1-6 ELA CST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
In which type of language processing do students recall words based on visual qualities
- answer- Orthographic- Allows students to use visual cues to store, form and recall
words. Fluency is when symbols and sounds become memories students can recall.
A student is in the intermediate stage of literacy development. Which ability is most
characteristic of this stage? - answer- Reading rate with accuracy and expression
During the advanced stage of literacy development, students acquire new vocabulary
primarily though: - answer- Independent reading
A group of 5th grade students read an article about the social behavior of dolphins.
Which activity would best prepare the students to participates in a class discussion
about what they have learned? - answer- Creating an outline of main ideas and key
details front the story.
A group of 6th grade students has researched possible connections between
downloaded songs and numbers of social media followed foe bands. Thee students are
planning to present their research. Which strategy would be most effective for students
to use to enhance understanding? - answer- Using various types of graphs to represent
collected data
Personal Essay- During revision stage the students should use which strategy to
strength the effectiveness of the paragraph? - answer- Omitting extraneous details
A first grader is having difficulty grade level high frequency words. The teacher has the
students use letter magnets to sort lower case letters into groups by letters visual
qualities. This is effective for measuring? - answer- Print concepts- Knowledge of print
concepts involve awareness of print in everyday environments and includes awareness
of directionality, punctuation and differences between letters and words. These print
concepts are the foundation upon which students develop reading comprehension and
vocabulary growth. By sorting the letters into groups according to visual qualities, the
student can develop an understanding of difference in written letter shapes. Identifying
the difference in letter shapes prepares students to recognize letters within words and
then eventually recognize whole words.
Given the phonological continuum students who master counting syllables and rhyming
words are ready to learn which skills next? - answer- Isolating single phonemes into one
syllable words. Counting syllables and rhyming words are skills that support students
ability to segment phonemes and recognize parts and sounds in words. Once students
have mastered syllable counting and rhyming skills they are ready to begin processing
how sounds work independently and with other sounds by isolating phonemes and
blending onset's (a words initial consonant sound) in one syllable words.
, A first grade teacher displays the sentence "We will go outside to play" The teacher
reads aloud while pointing to the words. Then the teachers asks the students to point to
the spaces between the words. Which phonological awareness skill does this reinforce?
- answer- Segmenting sentences into words, phonological awareness referees to the
understanding that oral language is composed of smaller untucks such as words. In the
activity described students segment sentences into words to demonstrate an
understanding of where each word stops and starts in the sentence by point got each
space between the words. Providence shows that students can recognize words and
word bounties as well as differentiate between beginning and ends of words.
4th grade- learning unknown word in poem - answer- Using context clues
A teacher wants to assess a first grade students knowledge of grade level print
concepts and early literacy skills. The teacher can achieve this goal by asking the
student to: - answer- Read any of the words on a selected page of a book. Knowledge
of print concepts include recognition of differences between letters and words,
directionality and punctuation as well as awareness of print in the everyday
environment. These skills taught early in literacy development foster reading
comprehension and vocabulary growth.
2nd grade student understands grade level texts, reads aloud and silently, and is able to
discuss key ideas with peers. However when reading aloud it is quick, frequently
misusing multisyllabic words, even if they are familiar. What should the teacher address
first with the student? - answer- Accuracy
A third grade teacher presents a lesson on syllabication then provides students with
sets of practice words that reinforce the difference between open and closed syllables.
Which set of words best suit the teachers purpose? - answer- Falcon, Acre. Falcon is
closed, divided by l,c and Acre is open because of the A vowel.
As part of assessment, a first grade teacher points to letters and asks individual
students to say either the name or sound of the letter as quickly as possible. This
activity best allows the teacher to access the students: - answer- Automatic recall.
Letter or sound naming in response to a letter stimulus us a basic automatic skill that
students can build upon as they gain literacy experience and exposure to more texts.
A first grade student has difficulty using individual sounds to form words correctly when
writing. Which literacy component is directly related to this process and most likely to
also present difficulties? - answer- Decoding. The encoding proves is using invidious
sounds to make and write words. Recognizing letters and sounds Is a skill that a
student stifles with it is likely that they will also have issues with decoding. They are
reciprocal skills.
