PECT Prek-4 Module 2 Exam|101Questions and Answers|100% Solved
A second-grade teacher uses evidence-based flexible grouping and selects
different types of texts (e.g., decodable texts, leveled texts, chapter books)
for different reading groups. These practices best demonstrate the teacher's
awareness of the importance of which of the following principles of effective
beginning reading instruction?
A. exposing students to a variety of text genres
B. accommodating students' diverse linguistic backgrounds and approaches
to learning
C. aligning students' reading goals with state standards
D. transitioning students to more challenging texts as they progress in their
reading skill - -D. transitioning students to more challenging texts as they
progress in their reading skill
This question requires the candidate to demonstrate knowledge of best
practices in early and emergent literacy and reading, including the
importance of differentiating literacy instruction to address individual
students' needs and their growing knowledge and skills. Providing early
readers with guided practice reading connected text corresponding to their
individual level of phonics knowledge is essential for promoting their ongoing
fluency development. Evidence-based flexible grouping is the practice of
varying the size and composition of instructional groups according to the
goals of instruction and the demonstrated learning needs of individual
students, as evidenced in ongoing informal assessments. Using this
approach to plan reading groups allows the teacher to group together
students with similar reading levels for instruction using a text at an
appropriate level of challenge for those students. Furthermore, the teacher
can closely monitor student progress and regularly adjust the composition of
groups and assigned texts, thus transitioning individual students to more
challenging texts as they progress in their reading skills
-A first-grade student who demonstrates mastery of phonemic blending is
having difficulty sounding out and blending VC and CVC words in printed
word lists and connected text. Based on this information, the student would
probably benefit most from an intervention designed to improve the
student's:
,A. development of oral reading fluency.
B. awareness of key concepts of print.
C. letter-sound correspondence skills.
D. knowledge of high-frequency sight words - -C. letter-sound
correspondence skills.
This question requires the candidate to apply knowledge of interventions in
phonics. Knowledge of letter-sound correspondences and phonemic blending
skills is key for developing the early phonics skill of sounding out and
blending simple, phonically regular VC and CVC words. Knowledge of letter-
sound correspondences is required to decode the component sounds from
the sequence of letters, and skill in phonemic blending is needed to combine
the sounds into a single word. The student described has mastered
phonemic blending, so the likely source of the student's difficulty with this
task is in correctly identifying the sounds represented by the letters in the
printed words.
-In a fourth-grade class, providing explicit instruction focused on which of
the following reading skills would most directly promote students' evaluative
reading comprehension skills?
A. summarizing the main idea of an extended text
B. retrieving information from a text to answer comprehension questions
C. applying background knowledge to visualize processes described in a text
D. distinguishing between fact and opinion in a text - -D. distinguishing
between fact and opinion in a text
This question requires the candidate to recognize different levels of
comprehension. Readers exercise evaluative reading comprehension when
they apply criteria external to a text to analyze the text or its content (e.g.,
evaluating the accuracy of the facts presented, evaluating the effectiveness
of stylistic choices). Authors of informational texts may occasionally identify
personal opinions in the text explicitly. In general, however, readers must
consider what they know about the word meanings (e.g., best, good,
disappointing) or what they know about the world (e.g., whether a particular
statement could be verified objectively) in order to distinguish statements of
fact from statements of opinion in these texts
-A kindergarten student writes "tdirdmibk" in her journal and tells the
teacher she wrote "Today I rode my bike." The student's writing sample most
, clearly demonstrates which of the following milestones essential to spelling
development in English?
A. awareness of the alphabetic principle
B. knowledge of print conventions for representing words
C. awareness of morphological structure within words
D. knowledge of syllable juncture - -A. awareness of the alphabetic principle
This question requires the candidate to apply knowledge of assessment in
writing skills, including interpreting the results of assessments. The sequence
of letters tdirdmibk in the student's writing sample corresponds to prominent
sounds in the spoken sentence the writing represents. The letters td
correspond to the first sounds in each syllable of the word today; the letter i
represents the word I; the letters rd correspond to the consonant sounds in
the word rode; the letters mi correspond to all the sounds in the word my;
and the letters bk represent the consonant sounds in the word bike. The
student's spelling is typical of emergent writers in an early stage of spelling
development, and reflects an awareness of the alphabetic principle—the
understanding that the writing system in English is alphabetic, i.e., that the
letters used in written English represent the component sounds in spoken
words
-After an extended classroom discussion of the pros and cons of adopting a
civic initiative, students are divided into two relatively equal groups, one of
which supports the initiative while the other has reservations about it. The
teacher could best use this situation to demonstrate the value of which of
the following practices?
A. assessing the costs and benefits in group decision making
B. using compromise to resolve conflicts
C. dividing problems into more manageable parts in group decision making
D. using majority rule to resolve conflicts - -B. using compromise to resolve
conflicts
This question requires the candidate to demonstrate knowledge of ways of
actively engaging children in developing their civic competence. An
important responsibility of citizenship is being able to resolve conflicts in a
respectful, nonviolent manner. In the situation described, the class is divided
over the civic initiative, with about half having reservations about it. This
presents a good opportunity to refocus the discussion to a dialog about what
