Why should flexible grouping be used in the reading classroom? ✔✔Flexible grouping allows
teachers to tailor instruction to address students' changing needs. When teachers use flexible
grouping they are considering the always-changing strengths and weaknesses of students and they
can group the students temporarily to best meet instructional needs.
What is the primary purpose of a norm-referenced test? ✔✔Indicating where a student performs
in comparison to a group of similar students. Norm-referenced tests allow a student's skills to be
compared with the skills of other students in a similar age group. These tests are developed by
administering a set of test items to a group of students; the performance of those in the norming
group is used as a basis for comparison.
A student at the conventional stage of writing development will primarily write... ✔✔Words that
are often correctly spelled and include storybook language such as "Once upon a time." Students
in the conventional stage of writing development have a basic grasp of writing words. At this stage
they are ready to write with a purpose, such as telling a story. Storybook language is often included
in their writing as they model their own stories after the stories they have read.
A second-grade teacher uses an assessment tool for coding, scoring, and analyzing a student's oral
reading behavior. What is the best technique to use for this process? ✔✔Running record
After administering a phonemic awareness test, what would be the most appropriate next step a
teacher would take with students who scored low on the assessment? ✔✔Teaching blending and
segmenting sounds
A teacher reads a series of graded passages to a student to assess the skill of creating meaning from
written language when decoding is not a factor. What would identify the highest level at which the
,student can comprehend 75 percent of the material? ✔✔Listening capacity. When a teacher reads
a series of graded texts to a student, the teacher is assessing the student's ability to comprehend
written language when the student doesn't have to attend to decoding issues which are present
when the text is read by the student.
Ms. Osborn teaches a variety of reading strategies to help her students become strategic readers.
The strategies include predicting, previewing, monitoring comprehension while reading,
generating questions, and summarizing. Which of the following most likely explains Ms. Osborn's
purpose in teaching the strategies? ✔✔Research has shown that reading comprehension improves
when teachers provide explicit instruction. According to research cited in Reutzel and Cooter's
Strategies for Reading Assessment and Instruction: Helping Every Child Succeed, evidence
supports that providing explicit instruction in comprehension strategies improves student literacy
development.
A teacher plans to differentiate reading instruction for students but first needs to gather and analyze
assessment data to determine students' needs. What would be two effective ways to assess?
✔✔Informal reading inventories and Formative reading assessments. Informal Reading
Inventories (IRIs) are effective. IRIs are collection of word lists and leveled passages that are used
to provide a quick snapshot of students' reading abilities. They are often used to determine where
in a commercial reading series students should begin. IRIs utilize leveled sentences and passages
to determine a student's reading level, and they focus primarily on literal recall as a means to
determine comprehension. Formative assessments are effective in helping to diagnose the
individual needs of students. Formative assessments are on-the-spot assessments given while our
students are reading or engaging in pre and post reading activities. This type of assessment should
be given frequently to provide feedback on our lessons and student progress.
A fourth-grade teacher is developing a writing assignment, the goal of which is to help students
persuade readers to agree with an opinion. What kind of writing prompt would be most appropriate
for the assignment? ✔✔Should a limit be placed on the amount of time children spend watching
television? This prompt requires students to establish a position and provide reasons to support it
so that readers can be persuaded to agree.
, A reading specialist conducts a workshop for teachers on use of the directed reading-thinking
activity (DRTA) method of instruction. In the model, teachers ask students to first make
predictions based on the title and cover of a book. At various points in the story, students stop
reading and check the accuracy of their predictions. Predictions are then changed or clarified, and
new predictions may be made based on new information the students learned while reading. The
DRTA method of instruction is most likely to promote what? ✔✔Applying metacognitive skills
to increase comprehension. Good readers continually make, revise, or confirm predictions as they
read. In this way, they are forming connections between prior knowledge and new information in
the text. In making predictions, proficient readers are aware of their own thought processes. The
reader is developing metacognition — the ability to think about his or her own thinking.
Justin, a fourth-grade student, takes a norm-referenced reading test and receives a stanine score of
7 on a vocabulary subtest. How would you best describes the student's level of performance on the
assessment? ✔✔Above average. Stanine is a measure used to report a student's performance
compared to that of other students. Stanine is a statistical term that is a combination of the words
standard and nine. A stanine is a point on a nine-point scale with the points 1, 2, and 3 being below
average, 4, 5, and 6 being average, and 7, 8, and 9 being above average performance.
A teacher is searching for an assessment tool that will provide specific information to guide
instruction in order to improve each students' writing abilities. What would most likely assist the
teacher in this goal? ✔✔An analytic scoring rubric, an analytic scoring rubric articulates levels of
performance so the teacher can assess student performance and suggest specific educational
solutions. Students receive specific feedback on their performance with respect to each of the
individual scoring criteria, which does not occur with a holistic rubric.
A first-grade student shows evidence of phonological awareness but has difficulty segmenting
words into phonemes. What would be a challenging question for the student to answer? ✔✔Listen

student listens for and identifies phonemes in the word.
