QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS VERIFIED/GRADED A+

Which of the following statements DOES NOT accurately represent a consideration that teachers should have when developing alphabet knowledge among English learners?

-Since some phonemes may not exist in English learners' home languages, this may pose challenges with accurate and distinguishable pronunciation.-Since some phonemes differ between English and English learners' home languages, this prohibits transferrable phonetic skills across languages.-Since some phonemes may not exist in English learners' home languages, this may pose challenges with placing sounds in meaningful contexts.-There may be phonemes in English learners' home languages that conflict with the phoneme sounds in English. - ---- Answers-----Since some phonemes differ between English and English learners' home languages, this prohibits transferrable phonetic skills across languages.

Students who are literate in their native language will not need to develop phonological awareness again in English; they will 1 / 4

only need to become familiar with the sounds of English and learn to discriminate sounds that are different between their native language and English because one phonological awareness has developed in any language, it transfers to other languages that are learned. For sounds that either don't exist in the native language or sounds that are perceived as different in English, explicit instruction and more practice are needed.

Characteristics of Letter Knowledge/ Alphabet Knowledge - -- --Answers----Letter knowledge is knowing that the same letter can look different, that letters have names and are related to sounds.

Teachers help children begin to:

-recognize and name upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet -associate letter names and symbols with their sounds -understand that letter symbols are grouped together in a particular order to form words -experiment with writing letters of the alphabet in the context of writing for a purpose.

According to the ELAR TEKS, the correct order of phonics skill

development by grade levels is: - ----Answers----1-

Kindergarten- Use letter-sound relationships to decode CVC words 2- Grade 1- Decoding words with initial and final consonant blends 3- Grade 2- Decoding words with silent letters. Like CVe 2 / 4

Being able to connect speech sounds with the printed letters they represent is a description of- -phonemic awareness -structural analysis -phonics -comprehension - ----Answers-----Phonics

What is a letter with a continuous sound? - ----Answers----a, e, f ,i ,l ,m ,s , r

When you articulate the sounds, you can stretch out the sound continuously without having a set stopping point. This makes it easier to both articulate and emphasize the sound.

Mr. watkins is a first grade teacher. He wants to address high frequency words during reading instruction on a regular basis.While planning instruction what principles should Mr. Watkins keep in mind? - ----Answers-----teach high frequency words once students have foundational understandings with letter sound correspondences, phonemic awareness, and word concepts -teach high frequency words in groups with similar patterns -practice reading high frequency words in authentic texts.

When teaching students the names of letters and their sounds, which of the following is the best approach to follow? 3 / 4

-Teach one letter a week in the same order as they are in the alphabet -teach high utility letters before low utility letters -Teach all the vowels first, followed by all the consonants.-Teach letter pairs that are similar visually at the same time so students can learn the difference. - ----Answers-----teach high utility letters before low utility letters

High utility letters such as m, s, a,t ,p occur frequently in many words. Low utility letters such as x and z occur much less frequently. There is not a hard and fast rule about a specific order for teaching letters, but children will have many more opportunities to apply their knowledge when they have high utility in their knowledge bank.

Which of the below scenarios is an example of a teacher assigning a student with an activity that is WITHIN its zone of proximal development?

-After successfully learning vocabulary through pictures and definitions, the student is assigned to contextualize the vocab within a reading or listening text.-After a student struggles to successfully use words to talk about the people in his life, the student is then assigned to write about someone he knows and what connection he has to other people in his family
