PECT module 2 practice test
A teacher is planning instruction to promote four-year-olds' development of
skills related to Pennsylvania's PreK-4 learning standard about reading,
analyzing, and interpreting text. With children at this developmental level,
which of the following approaches to a read-aloud activity would be most
appropriate for the teacher to use to develop the children's conceptual
understanding of fact and opinion? - -helping the children tell one thing they
learned from a nonfiction text
-A fourth-grade teacher would like to promote reluctant readers'
independent reading. Which of the following teacher strategies is likely to be
most effective in achieving this goal? - -engaging students in discussions
about their interests and working with the library media specialist to locate
appropriate-level books on these topics
-A third-grade teacher regularly models for students how to paraphrase a
portion of a text and how to pose and respond to questions that clarify or
follow up on information presented in a text. These practices promote
students' literacy development primarily by: - -promoting their development
of self-monitoring skills that support reading and learning across the
curriculum.
-A first-grade teacher explains that he is going to read a story aloud and he
wants students to consider how the story makes them feel. Afterward, he
prompts the students to recall and discuss specific words and phrases the
author used to evoke particular feelings. This oral language activity supports
students' literacy development primarily by helping the students: - -develop
an awareness of a story's tone.
-A kindergarten teacher has placed many signs around the classroom,
including simple written directions (e.g., Please hang up coats!) and labels
for objects (e.g., clock, Teacher's chair). During daily activities, the teacher
regularly points to and reads aloud relevant signs. The teacher has also
created a classroom library filled with age-appropriate books and has
incorporated relevant signs and books into all the learning centers. These
strategies are most effective in addressing which of the following goals
related to effective instruction in emergent literacy? - -creating a print-rich
environment
-At the beginning of the school year, a kindergarten teacher establishes a
variety of classroom roles that rotate on a daily basis. The roles include
Calendar Helper and Star of the Day. The Calendar Helper identifies and
announces the day of the week, the date, and the day's weather, with
teacher support if needed. The Star of the Day shares an object, talking
, briefly about the item and then answering three questions about it from
classmates and/or the teacher. Regularly performing these types of
classroom roles directly benefits students' emergent literacy development
primarily by enhancing the students': - -ability to use a range of expressive
language skills.
-In keeping with Pennsylvania's PreK-4 learning standards in language arts,
which of the following writing skills would be most appropriate to include in
language arts instruction at the first-grade level? - -revising writing by
adding details or missing information
-A teacher delivering standards-based literacy instruction grounded in
scientific- based reading research is most likely to use the results of reading
assessments for which of the following purposes? - -using ongoing informal
assessments to continually plan and modify individual students' reading
goals and instruction
-A group of primary-grade teachers is reviewing potential core instructional
materials for teaching beginning-reading skills. The most important selection
criteria for the teachers to consider would be to ensure that the materials: -
-are aligned with relevant state learning standards.
-Which of the following words contains a diphthong? - -boiled
-A prekindergarten teacher regularly writes students' comments on chart
paper during whole-class discussions and rereads the comments to the class.
This practice supports young children's emergent literacy development
primarily by promoting their: - -awareness of the relationship between print
and spoken language.
-A kindergarten teacher reads aloud a poem that contains alliteration in
each line. The teacher reads the poem twice, each time emphasizing the
alliteration. On the third reading, the teacher invites the children to repeat
each line exactly as the teacher recited it. This activity is most effective in
promoting the children's development in which of the following areas of
emergent literacy? - -phonological awareness
-A third-grade student is having difficulty reading words and syllables that
contain complex letter combinations, which is affecting her comprehension
of grade-level texts. For example, the student reads the word stretch as [st]
[rĕt] [ch] and the word pledge as [p] [lĕd] [guh]. Which of the following
intervention strategies is likely to be most effective in addressing this
student's reading difficulty and advancing her reading development? - -
providing the student with instruction and practice decoding consonant
clusters as chunks
