KPEERI EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Sequences for how information is selected, sequenced, organized, and practiced.
These occur within each component of reading where a logical progression of skills
would be evident: easier skills are introduced before more difficult skills, so that skills
build progressively. - answer- Coordinated Instructional Sequences
The skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are developmental precursors to
conventional forms of reading and writing. - answer- Emergent Literacy
Language that is spoken. - answer- Expressive Language
What are the 5 components of Reading? - answer- Phonemic awareness, phonics,
fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Vocabulary common to written texts but not commonly a part of speech; in the
Standards, these words and phrases are analogous to Tier Two words and phrases
are typically this... - answer- General academic words and phrases
(Remember, Tier 2 isn't necessarily common in every day language Ex. analyze,
restrict, formulate.)
The relationship between letters and phonemes. - answer- Graphophonemic
(Examples would include Recognizing alphabetic sequence while singing the
alphabet song, naming letters as well as matching upper and lowercase letters).
Words that are spelled the same but have different origins and meanings. They may
or may not be pronounced the same (e.g., can as in a metal container/can as in able
to). - answer- Homograph
-same spelling, different meaning and may have a different pronunciation
(Remember- Homographs are always spelled the same, so remember the ending "-
graph," which is a Greek root meaning "writing.")
"When the teacher WRITES with a pencil, she needs LEAD to LEAD instruction"
Lead= graphite
Lead=guide
Words that sound the same but are spelled differently (e.g., cents/sense,
knight/night). - answer- Homonym
-Multiple Meaning Words-
"nym" means name
,Remember the sentence "Hello, my name is Amber, I came to buy Amber.
Amber= name Amber=fossilized resin
Words that may or may not be spelled alike but are pronounced the same. These
words are of different origins and have different meanings (e.g., ate and eight; scale
as in the covering of a fish; and scale as in a device used to weigh things) - answer-
Homophone
(Homophones always sound alike, so remember the ending "-phone," which is a
Greek root meaning "sound.")
Remember the sentence "I am on the PHONE, can you HEAR me in HERE?"
Hear- listen
Here- location
These routines include the following sequence of steps:
Explicit instruction
Modeling
Guided practice
Student practice, application, and feedback
Generalization - answer- Instructional Routines
The matching of an oral sound to its corresponding letter or group of letters. -
answer- Letter-sound correspondence
This concept includes reading, writing, and the creative and analytical acts involved
in producing and comprehending texts. - answer- Literacy
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
______________ 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
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
What are the five components of oral language? - answer- phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
(Remember: Oral Language gives me bad P.P.M.S.S.) ha ha
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 - answer- Orthographic Mapping
The conventional spelling and writing system of a language. - answer- Orthography
ortho=correct
