LETRS Module 6 Assessment. Early Lit 2A fifth-grade class is about to read a play about the life of Harriet Tubman called "Travels on
the Railroad." Which of the following prereading activities would best promote students'
comprehension of the text? - correct answer-Asking students to share what they already
know about Harriet Tubman and the time period during which she lived. Activating students'
prior knowledge related to a text is one of the most powerful strategies for promoting their
comprehension of the text.
A fifth-grade teacher gives students a reading guide for an informational text that they will be
reading independently. The reading guide contains various activities, including prompting
students to summarize certain passages, to explain relationships between concepts
according to specific information in the text, and to determine the meaning of
domain-specific words based on appositives or appositive phrases embedded in the text.
This reading guide is likely to be most effective for achieving which of the following
instructional purposes? - correct answer-encouraging students to interact with text
A fifth-grade teacher guides students in reading a complex literary text. First, the teacher
reads aloud the beginning of the text as the students follow along silently in their copies.
Next, the teacher rereads key phrases and sentences, asking students what the author
meant by certain statements or by the choice of certain words. Finally, the teacher and
students reread the section aloud together with expression. The teacher repeats these steps
with each section of the text. This activity promotes reading proficiency primarily by: - correct
answer-Modeling for students how to engage in close reading of academic texts.
A second-grade teacher reads a trade book aloud to the class. Which of the following
postreading activities would be most likely to promote the students' comprehension of the
story by enhancing their literary analysis skills? - correct answer-discussing with the students
how the characters in the story respond to major events and challenges
A sixth-grade teacher gives students several persuasive essays that present contrasting
opinions on a current social issue. The teacher then asks students to consider the following
questions as they read the following questions as they read the texts.
1. What is the author's opinion on the issue?
2. How might the author's background influence his or her opinion?
3. What evidence does the author use to support his or her opinion?
These questions are likely to be most effective for helping students: - correct
answer-analyze point of view in expository text
A teacher asks her students to highlight the main ideas in an expository passage. This
activity best addresses which component of reading instruction? - correct
answer-comprehensive
, A teacher can best help sixth graders draw inferences from informational text by asking them
to complete which of the following statements? - correct answer-Learning to use
metacognitive reading strategies with English text.
A third-grade teacher periodically reads aloud from a chapter in content-area textbooks and
describes his thought processes as he reads. Following is an example:
" 'The moon does not shine on its own. The sun's light reflects off the moon.' Hmm. I'm
imagining that the sun is like a flashlight shining on the moon in the dark. 'As the moon
rotates, only the part that faces the sun is visible from the Earth.' I'm not quite sure what
"visible" means, but it sounds kind of like vision, which I know has to do with eyes. It
probably means the part that we can see from the Earth. Now, that makes me wonder— why
do we see different amounts of the moon at different times? Let's see if the next part of the
chapter explains this . . ."
This practice is most likely to promote students' reading proficiency by: - correct
answer-modeling from their metacognitive comprehension strategies.
After students in a sixth-grade class finish reading a historical novel about the U.S. Civil War,
the teacher asks each student to bring in an object, or a picture or illustration of an object,
that, to them, represents the book. The students must also identify a passage or passages
from the book that they can use to support their choices when they present their objects to
the class. This activity is most likely to promote students' reading development by helping
them understand the importance of: - correct answer-Basing interpretations about a literary
work on textual evidence
All of the following are examples of figurative language except: - correct answer-idioms: a
phrase that doesn't mean exactly what it says
- similes: comparing two or more things using like or as.
- metaphor: comparing two or more things without using like or as.
- colloquial expressions: informal words, phrases, or slang.
An English Language Learner reads academic texts fluently in her primary language but is
struggling to understand her content-area textbooks in English. This student would likely
benefit most from engaging in which of the following activities? - correct answer-The student
would benefit more from hands-on learning because she would not be required to read a lot
of information
Effective comprehension strategies used by good readers include all of the following except:
- correct answer-
Expository text is characterized by all of the following except - correct answer-Expository
Text Structures- description, sequence of events, classification, cause and effect, and
compare and contrast
If students have trouble understanding the meanings in the text base, the teacher should tell
the students to pay closer attention when they read the words. - correct answer-No, because
just simply telling the students to pay attention to the words do not help them understand
what they are reading. The teacher needs to work closely with the student on his or her
metacognitive strategies, and model how that is supposed to look to students.
