KPEERI Exam Questions And Answers Verified
100% Correct
When an error occurs, the teacher immediately attends to it by scaffolding instruction
(i.e., gradual release of responsibility). - ANSWER Immediate Corrective Feedback
Instruction that may include more time, more opportunities for student practice, more
teacher feedback, smaller group size, and different materials. It is implemented as
soon as assessment indicates that students are not making adequate progress in
reading. - ANSWER Immediate Intensive Intervention
The opposite of explicit instruction. Students discover skills and concepts instead of
being explicitly taught. For example, the teacher writes a list of words on the board that
begin with the letter "m" (mud, milk, meal, and mattress) and asks the students how the
words are similar. The teacher elicits from the students that the letter "m" stands for the
sound you hear at the beginning of the words. - ANSWER Implicit Instruction
(Remember the word implied- suggested but not directly expressed)
The level at which a reader can read text with 95% accuracy (i.e., no more than one
error per 20 words read). - ANSWER Independent Reading Level
(Remember 95%)
The reading range that spans instructional and independent reading levels or level of
text that a student can read with 90% to 95% or above accuracy. - ANSWER
Independent-instructional reading level range
(Remember 90%-95%)
This term refers to students learning the meaning of words indirectly when they hear or
see the words used in many different contexts - for example, through conversations
with adults, through being read to, and through reading extensively on their own. -
ANSWER Indirect Vocabulary Learning
This describes the special education and related services specifically designed to
meet the unique educational needs of a student with a disability. - ANSWER
Individualized Education Program
Does not follow prescribed rules for administration and scoring and has not undergone
technical scrutiny for reliability and validity. Teacher-made tests, end-of-unit tests, and
running records are all examples of This. - ANSWER Informal Assessments
(Remember, Informal means having a relaxed, friendly, or unofficial)
,Non-fiction books that contain facts and information. - ANSWER
Informational/Expository Text
(Remember Non-Fiction books are Informational and full of Explanations)
The level at which a reader can read text with 90% accuracy (i.e., no more than one
error per 10 words read). This level engages the student in challenging, but
manageable text. - ANSWER Instructional reading level
(Remember 90%)
These routines include the following sequence of steps:
Explicit instruction
Modeling
Guided practice
Student practice, application, and feedback
Generalization - ANSWER Instructional Routines
This is provided only to students who are lagging behind their classmates in the
development of critical reading skills. - ANSWER Intervention Instruction
Provides content for instruction that is intended for flexible use as part of differentiated
instruction and/or more intensive instruction to meet student learning needs in one or
more of the specific areas of reading (phonological awareness, phonics, fluency,
vocabulary, and comprehension). - ANSWER Intervention Program
An attempt to spell a word based on a student's knowledge of the spelling system and
how it works (e.g., kt for cat). - ANSWER Invented Spelling
A disorder that may affect the comprehension and use of spoken or written language as
well as nonverbal language, such as eye contact and tone of speech, in both adults and
children. - ANSWER Language Learning Disability
The matching of an oral sound to its corresponding letter or group of letters. - ANSWER
Letter-sound correspondence
The words needed to understand what is heard. - ANSWER Listening vocabulary
A reader cannot understand a text without knowing what most of the words mean.
This concept includes reading, writing, and the creative and analytical acts involved in
producing and comprehending texts. - ANSWER Literacy
,Understanding of the basic facts that the student has read. - ANSWER Comprehension
An awareness of one's own thinking processes and how they work. The process of
consciously thinking about one's learning or reading while actually being engaged in
learning or reading. - ANSWER Metacognition
This is the smallest meaningful unit of language. This can be one syllable (book) or
more than one syllable (seventeen). It can be a whole word or a part of a word such as
a prefix or suffix. For example, the word ungrateful contains three of these: un, grate,
and ful. - ANSWER Morpheme
An analysis of words formed by adding prefixes, suffixes or other meaningful word units
to a base word. - ANSWER Morphemic Analysis
(meanings of words can be determined or inferred by examining their meaningful parts.)
Ex. biology= bio+logy
bio=life logy=the study of
Units of meaning within words. The study of how words are formed from prefixes, roots,
and suffixes (e.g., mis-spell-ing), and how words are related to each other. - ANSWER
Morphology
Remember: Morphology (Greek Origin)
morph+o+loge+y
morph=form, structure
loge= speech, word, account, reason
This is using a word's letter patterns to help determine, in part, the meaning and
pronunciation of a word.
For example, the morpheme vis in words such as vision and visible is from the Latin
root word that means to see; and the ay in stay is pronounced the same in the words
gray and play. - ANSWER Morphophonology
morpho=shape/structure
phono=sound
logy=study of
A comparison NOT using like or as. - ANSWER Metaphor
(Remember the sentence "He cut a rug when he TAP danced" - meTAPhor)
This approach uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile cues simultaneously to
enhance memory and learning. Links are consistently made between the visual (what
, we see), auditory (what we hear), and kinesthetic-tactile (what we feel) pathways in
learning to read and spell. - ANSWER Multisensory Structured Language Education
______________ is the rate at which a child can recite "overlearned" stimuli such as
letters and single-digit numbers. (May be connected to executive functioning or
processing speed) - ANSWER Naming Speed
A story about fictional or real events. - ANSWER Narrative Text
(Remember: The main purpose of a narrative is to entertain, think of the NARRATOR in
a Fairy Tale)
Vowels that are pronounced differently from the expected pronunciation (e.g., the "o" in
old is pronounced /ō/ instead of the expected /o/. - ANSWER oddities
(odd, think different)
A part of the word that is the initial consonant sound, blend, or digraph in a single
syllable word or syllable. - ANSWER Onset
A part of the word that is the first vowel phoneme followed by all the other phonemes (at
in rat; esh in fresh). - ANSWER Rime
In segmentation in the word swift, sw is the _________ and ift is the _________. -
ANSWER onset, rime
What are the five components of oral language? - ANSWER phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.

A child with these difficulties may exhibit poor vocabulary, listening comprehension, or
grammatical abilities for his or her age. - ANSWER Oral language difficulties
This is the understanding that the sounds in a language are represented by written or
printed symbols. - ANSWER Orthographic knowledge
ortho=correct
graphy=process of writing or recording
This is the ability to identify words by sight (i.e., sight words) allowing instant
recognition. This is required for effortless, accurate, and fluent reading. /b/ /e/ /d/ - bed -
