VERSION) |ALREADY GRADED A +
When a new student joins a second-grade class, the teacher
administers a reading assessment. The teacher determines the
student's reading skills are currently below grade level. Despite the
assessment results, the student participates well in class
discussions, specifically when a text is read aloud.
Based on the teacher's current information, the teacher should
differentiate a reading assignment in which way to best support
this student?
A: decrease the complexity of the student's independent reading
texts from grade-level to the student's current reading level
-decrease the number of reading comprehension questions assigned
to this student
-pair the student with a more advanced reader for support with
higher-level texts
-assign grade-level texts but provide the student with extra time to
complete the reading
,A science teacher is selecting a vocabulary list of tier two words to
cover in their first unit of the school year. Which set of words is
most likely to be
included on that list?
oxygen, respiration, pollinate,
sprout A: analyze, describe,
identify
leave, arrive,
return pet, frog,
animal, sky
,A second-grade teacher is planning to use an informational text
about the accomplishments of Amelia Earhart as an opportunity
for her students to practice their summary skills. Prior to
independently reading the text, the teacher will show the class a
photograph of Earhart in the cockpit of a
plane, and the class will watch a short video that overviews the
history of aviation. The teacher's lesson plans demonstrate her
understanding of the skills that support reading comprehension.
Which of the following best describes her goal for the pre-
reading activity?
-Pre-assessing students' related knowledge allows the teacher to
anticipate those that will need scaffolding and support on the
summary activity.
-The ability to create a mental picture improves the likelihood that
students will be engaged readers.
-Exposure to related vocabulary supports fluency and
comprehension. A: Schema development supports
comprehension.
, A third-grade teacher reads aloud one to two chapters from a
novel most days of the week. This activity serves as a community-
building experience within the classroom, promotes a love of
reading, and serves as an opportunity to incorporate practice with
various ELA skills.
Before beginning to read each afternoon, she calls on a volunteer
to briefly summarize the events from the previous day. While
reading, the teacher will periodically stop to verbally question the
text, ask students to make a
prediction, or clarify understanding of events. She also follows their
reading with a quick journal prompt related to the day's chapters.
Which of the following would be the best way for the teacher to
change the activities described to better support oral language
development and
participation of all students, including ELL students?
-Create a schedule for daily summaries to ensure all students have
the opportunity to participate and the opportunity to prepare for
their summary.
-Allocate a few minutes for students to turn and talk with a neighbor,
summarizing together before asking for a volunteer to share out to
the class.
A: Instead of summarizing aloud, allow students to choose whether
they verbally summarize, orally summarize, or draw a picture to
present the
previous day's reading.
-Randomly choose the student that will share a summary each day to
ensure all students are prepared.
