Accuracy.
In comparison to other alphabetic languages, what feature of the English writing
system makes English more difficult for young students to read and spell?It is
morphophonemic.
What is one important distinction between the Four-Part Processing Model for Word
Recognition and the Three-Cueing Systems model?The Three-Cueing Systems
model omits or obscures the role of phonology.
Many students at risk for reading problems enter school without exposure to the
academic language used in books or preschool experience. These students are
most likely to make progress closing the reading and language gap if their classroom
instruction emphasizes which of the following?both foundational reading skills and
oral language development
A kindergarten teacher is having students listen to three spoken words and identify
the two words that end with the same sound. The teacher is focusing on which
language system?phonology
A second-grade teacher, in preparation for reading a new text about honeybees,
asks the students to brainstorm all the meanings they know for the word comb. The

Experiments that use modern eye-movement technology to investigate what the eye
"sees" when a proficient reader scans and comprehends a text have made what
important discovery?skilled readers perceive all letters when they read.
Considering the Simple View of Reading, what would be the BEST course of action
for a third-grade teacher with concerns about several students who have not
achieved fluency?Determine if the students need remediation in word recognition,
language comprehension, or both.
What does the ability to recognize many words "by sight" during fluent reading
depend on?phonemic awareness and the ability to map graphemes to phonemes
One important goal of beginning reading instruction is the development of a sight
vocabulary that enables the student to recognize a word instantly, without having to
decode it. What types of words should make up a student's sight word
vocabulary?both regular and irregular words
In any first-grade classroom in a typical school in the United States, approximately
one-third of students are likely to score in the "basic" or "below basic" range. The
largest proportion of those students is likely to show which characteristics?primary
difficulties with phonology, decoding, and word recognition
