Question 1

The assessment used while studying thematic units must include something other than teacher-made tests and worksheets with single right answers.

Accepted Answer

Thematic units should include a variety of assessments, such as projects, presentations, discussions, and self-reflection activities, in addition to traditional teacher-made tests and worksheets. This ensures that students can showcase their learning in different ways and that their understanding is not solely based on memorizing and regurgitating information.

Question 2

How do children learn to read and write?
A) Memorizing words
B) Imitating other children
C) Reading and writing extensively
D) Watching television

Accepted Answer

Children learn to read and write extensively by practicing and being exposed to books, instruction, and experiences that promote literacy development. While memorization may play a role in learning to read, it is not the most effective strategy. Imitating other children can be helpful, but it is not the sole way that children learn literacy skills. Watching television is not an effective way to learn reading and writing skills.

Question 3

Readability, or text difficulty, includes all of the following EXCEPT
A) Length of sentence
B) Complexity of the language
C) Writing style of the author
D) Typeface used

Accepted Answer

Readability refers to the ease with which a reader can understand a text. Length of sentence, complexity of language, and writing style are all factors that can affect readability. However, the typeface used is not typically considered a factor in determining readability.

Question 4

In the cloze procedure, what is done with individual words?
A) They are added
B) They are substituted
C) They are deleted
D) They are misspelled

Accepted Answer

In the cloze procedure, individual words are deleted from a text and the reader is asked to fill in the blanks with the missing words.

Question 5

In the ReQuest procedure, what is the first step?
A) The student answers the question.
B) Both teacher and student read silently.
C) The teacher asks a question.
D) The student asks a question.

Accepted Answer

The first step in the ReQuest procedure is for both teacher and student to read silently. This sets the stage for the question and allows the student to think about a possible answer before the teacher asks the question.

Question 6

All of the following strategies help the reading process EXCEPT
A) DR-TA
B) GRP
C) Reading guides
D) DISTAR

Accepted Answer

DISTAR is not a strategy used to assist with the reading process. It is a teaching approach that focuses on the explicit instruction of reading skills and phonics. The other options (DR-TA, GRP, Reading guides) are all reading strategies that help with comprehension and understanding of the text.

Question 7

Informational text includes all of the following EXCEPT
A) History
B) Science
C) Autobiography
D) Fiction

Accepted Answer

Informational text refers to texts that are intended to convey information or explain a concept, and they typically include History, Science, Autobiography, and other non-fiction genres. However, fiction is not considered informational text as it is primarily designed for entertainment and storytelling purposes rather than providing factual information or educating the reader.

Question 8

One way for students to chronicle their learning, or to clarify certain aspects of learning, in a risk-free atmosphere is through which of the following?
A) Learning logs
B) Standardized tests
C) Chapter tests
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Learning logs allow students to reflect on their learning, write down questions and concerns, and track their progress without fear of judgement or grades. Standardized tests and chapter tests are typically used for assessment purposes and do not provide the same opportunity for reflection and clarification.

Question 9

What does SQ3R involve?
A) Reviewing, questions
B) Predicting, summarizing
C) Reviewing, clarifying
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review, emphasizing reviewing material and generating questions to understand the content better.

Question 10

Which of the following is true regarding social literacy?
A) Encourages students to read and discuss social inequities
B) Requires students to memorize historical events
C) Is really a humorous contemporary story that students choose to read
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Social literacy deals with understanding social issues, such as inequities, and encourages discussion of these topics. Memorizing historical events (choice B) is not directly related to social literacy. Choice C is incorrect as it describes a work of fiction, not a concept like social literacy. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Which of the following is true regarding a Frayer graphic organizer?
A) Helps students compare and contrast events
B) Helps students organize problems and solutions
C) Helps students give antonyms, synonyms, and examples of each of these words
