EC-6 Core Subjects ELAR – Flashcards

Strategies that can be used to best build growth in word analysis and identification include all of the following except: a."Scrabble" type games using words from the Word Wall. Explanation: This activity would be a good one to enhance word analysis/identification skills as students have to analyze, build and use new words. b. "Popcorn" reading in which one student starts reading a passage in front of the class and another says "popcorn" and continues the reading c. posting and using in a game-type activity, prefixes and suffixes to build new words. d. re-writing sentences using synonyms found in a Thesaurus

Early Childhood learners that have not developed phonological and phonemic awareness may: I. Be English Language Learners. II. Have a lack of early parental bonding. III. Have a learning disability. IV. Have had less time in practicing the skill set.

A first grade teacher can formally and informally assess students' phonemic awareness development in a variety of ways including all EXCEPT: having the student blend together sounds into words that the teacher gives orally repeating the words back after the teacher says them aloud having the student read silently and write down certain syllables have the student give rhymes to short words that the teacher gives orally

Phonemic Awareness

Phonological awareness is the ability to identify:

An Early Childhood teacher would offer which scenario to assess a student's phonological awareness understanding? I. "Count the Words" where a teacher says a short sentence aloud and, after repeating it a few times, the student places a number one, two, three, etc. on his/her desk depending on the number of words in the sentences. II. "Stepping Sentences" where a teacher calls on a group of students to stand when their assigned word is called aloud. III. "Syllable Segmentation" where a teacher has a student clap on every syllable of a word that is called aloud. IV. Assigning phonetic principles and symbols to portions of words

The teacher reads a passage and asks students to listen for rhyming words. At the end of the reading, the teacher asks the students to think of sets of rhyming words. Which of the following developments would this activity be used in assessing? I. Vowel and Consonant Rules II. Onset and Rimes III. Phonological Awareness IV. Syntax

Onset and Rimes

Which of the following would be most helpful for Mrs. Dickson to use for this purpose?

Which of the following would an elementary teacher be assessing when they require students to identify select letters on a newspaper?
