01. According to findings in the Report of the National
Literacy Panel on Language-Minority Children and Youth
which of the following curricular adjustments would most
effectively support the literacy development of English
learners with respect to text comprehension? integrating
comprehensive oral language instruction with literacy
instruction
02. Which of the following actions by elementary school
teachers in the early grades would best demonstrate
understanding that decoding and encoding are reciprocal
skills that develop synchronously during the early stages
of reading development? creating regular opportunities
for students to apply new syllable patterns in their daily
writings that have been explicitly taught during phonics
instruction.
03. A teacher would like to help students identify their
literacy skills and strengths as part of an assets-based
approach to literacy instruction. Which of the following
teacher actions is consistent with this type of approach?
Providing students with explicit feedback about what
they already know and are able to do well and helping
,them use this information to establish realistic yet
challenging learning goals.
04. A school district in Texas has adopted the Multi-
Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) model of instruction
in their K-3 literacy program which includes a core
reading program (Tier 1) supplemental instruction (Tier
2) and intensive instruction (Tier 3) Instructional
grouping in Tier 2 is restricted to five or fewer students.
This limitation enhances the effectiveness of literacy
instruction for the students primarily by:Providing
students with increased opportunities to practice
developing skills with teacher feedback.
05. A second-grade student has been identified with
dysgraphia but does not have difficulty with decoding or
encoding. Which of the following approaches to
instruction would be most effective in promoting the
student's development with respect to the identified area
of need? Providing the student with explicit instruction in
letter formation and frequent, short, guided-practice
sessions to build the student's handwriting fluency and
automaticity in letter memory and formation.
06. In which line in the table below is the underlined
portion of the example word accurately matched to the
phonics term that is used to describe that phonics
element?
Line Phonics Term Example word
1 blend they
, 2 digraph factor
3 diphthong power
4 trigraph scrap Line 3
07. Use the information below to answer the two
questions that follow. Students in a third-grade class have
been studying ways in which Earth's surface is always
changing. As the culminating project students choose a
topic that they would like to learn more about (e.g.
volcanic eruptions earthquakes landslides floods) and
establish a research group focused on that topic. The
students in each group generate questions to focus their
research read a variety of texts to gather information
related to their questions and engage in focused
discussions of the texts based on their questions. The
teacher's role is to support the groups by helping them
gather a range of print and digital informational texts
related to their chosen topic modeling norms for equitable
discussions and monitoring each group's task progress to
ensure group members stay focused.
In which of the following ways can the teacher best foster
the students by providing students' with a rubric with
which they can self-evaluate their text analysis
08. Several research groups include students with a
diverse range of reading skills. The teacher wants to
differentiate instruction for students in a way that will
also strengthen their capacity for reading more complex
text. Which of the following approaches best aligns with
, research-based best practices to accomplish this purpose?
providing a set of texts representing a range of text-
complexity levels and interactive formats, and allowing
student to work collaboratively to read the texts.
09. A kindergarten teacher regularly has students write
and draw in their journals in response to an open-ended
prompt. During these writing sessions the teacher
circulates among students asks them to read aloud what
they have written and documents their performance with
anecdotal notes in a teacher record.
This type of informal assessment strategy would be most
appropriate to use for which of the following instructional
purposes? observing individual student's development
in various dimensions of literacy over time.
10. Which of the following writing samples provides
