A teacher would like to start a new spelling curriculum.She found free online curriculum with several fun resources. The source was not accessible for all learners.She compared it to a resource suggested by her district, which has been aligned with evidence-based research and is founded on best practices for spelling. She decided to use the resource suggested by her district.Which of the Four Considerations is this teacher using?Differentiation/High Leverage Practices for Supporting All Learners Imagine a teacher preparing to teach reading to a class with different reading abilities. They need to figure out how to teach in a certain way. That means breaking down reading into smaller parts like sounds, word meanings, and how sentences work. By doing this, the teacher can ensure that everyone in the class learns well, regardless of their reading level.Structured Literacy A teacher preparing to teach her class how to read a new book needs to think about what type of book will best fit her students. Does she choose a story that's too easy and will make them bored? Or one that is too hard, and they will struggle with? She needs to pick just the right book that will challenge them just enough to keep them engaged and learning.Selection of Materials A kindergarten teacher is planning reading instruction for his students. Based on his observations and data, he chooses two different word sort activities, one for students reading at grade level and one for students reading below grade level.Differentiation/High leverage practices for supporting all learners A teacher observes that some students in her class struggle with reading comprehension despite receiving the same instruction as their peers. She understands the importance of identifying the specific aspect of instruction that needs consideration to address their needs effectively. This involves assessing whether the students require additional support in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, or comprehension and then planning targeted instruction accordingly.MTSS- "MTSS" is correct as it focuses on identifying and addressing specific needs through targeted, tiered support within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports.Phonologythe study of sounds in language, like how words are made up of different sounds and how those sounds come together to form words. It helps us understand how we speak and how we hear language.Sound-Symbolthe understanding that letters and letter combinations (symbols) make different sounds.Syllablesparts of a word that contains one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonant sounds. When we say words, we can hear different syllables by noticing the beats or sounds in the word.

Morphologythe study of how words are put together with smaller parts called morphemes, which can be prefixes, suffixes, or root words. By understanding morphology, we can figure out the meaning and structure of words.Syntaxthe grammar rules for putting words together in sentences. It helps us understand how to arrange words in the correct order to make clear and meaningful sentences Semanticsthe meaning of words and how they relate to each other. It helps us understand the meanings of sentences and how words connect to form clear and meaningful communication.Systematic and Cumulativeinstruction that presents concepts in a logical order, beginning with the easiest concepts and increasing in difficulty. Each new concept is built on prior knowledge.Explicitinstruction provided by the teacher clearly and on an appropriate level.Diagnosticinstruction that includes ongoing formal and informal assessment and focused on a student's individualized and specific needs.multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS)a framework that provides varying levels of academic and behavioral interventions to support the diverse needs of all students Which learning activity would best support the standard of demonstrating an understanding of the organization and structure of a text?Writing a summary of the text in their own words.Which learning activity would best support the standard of identifying the main idea and supporting details of a text?Creating a story map to visualize key elements.Why is it important for elementary schools to recognize and address assumptions about literacy?To ensure all students receive an equitable education and have the opportunity to succeed Which of the following best describes the approach used in structured literacy?Focuses on explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, and other foundational skills.What is one of the goals of a literacy-rich environment? Fostering the connection of letter-sound and letter-word within meaning contexts Which of the following is NOT a component of a literacy- rich classroom environment?Regular field trips to local libraries - While beneficial, regular field trips to local libraries are not a direct component of the classroom environment itself.multisensoryeducation that involves engaging multiple senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, and movement, to enhance learning and reinforce concepts KinestheticA teacher is introducing the /ch/ sound to a group of students. Select if the following activity uses auditory, visual, or kinesthetic support for learners.The students trace the letters c and h in shaving cream.

AuditoryThe teacher reads aloud the words 'cat', 'chap', 'lunch', 'met' and 'chug.' Students give a thumbs up if they hear a /ch/ or a thumbs down if they do not hear a /ch/ after each word is read VisualStudents work in small groups to complete a word sort. They need to sort words

into two groups: words with /ch/ and words without /ch/

kinesthetic/tactile (touch)learning through physical movement and touch, respectively, engaging the senses of body movement and physical sensation What defines multisensory teaching methods in structured literacy programs?Teaching using multiple senses like seeing, hearing, and touching.Why are multisensory teaching methods effective in structured literacy programs?Because they engage students in various ways through different senses What is the importance of literacy-rich learning environments?They provide opportunities for students to engage with print and language in meaningful ways How can teachers ensure that instructions meet the expectations of a given content standard?Identify the key skills and concepts within the standard What is the first step teachers should take when selecting instructional activities that align with content standards?Identify the learning objectives outlined in the content standards Which strategy ensures that a given literacy instruction is aligned with the correct content standard?Compare the lesson objectives with the content standard What first step should teachers take when identifying the correct instruction sequence to help students master an end-of-year standard?Identify prerequisite skills that students need to develop How does comprehension contribute to overall literacy development?By recognizing and understanding the meaning of written texts What is the purpose of word analysis in literacy instruction?Breaking down words into their parts to understand their meanings and structures phonemic awarenessa subset of phonological awareness and specifically refers to the ability to recognize and manipulate individual phonemes (speech sounds) in spoken words phonicsthe study of the relationships between letters and the sounds they represent, essential for students to know in order to decode words science of readinga body of research that investigates how individuals learn to read, encompassing the cognitive, linguistic, and instructional processes involved in literacy development
