-Reading and writing skills and the early exposure to print and word awareness is called __________ and will benefit young children when experiences are appropriate and positive.

Accepted Answer

literacy

Question 3

How do teachers encourage a child's verbal fluency?
A) By writing down what the child says about an activity or experience.
B) By including dictation in an art activity, such as fingerpainting.
C) By asking the child if she wants her comments written down.
D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

Writing down what the child says allows them to see their words in written form, which can help reinforce their verbal skills. Including dictation in an art activity can also help to develop language skills, as the child is encouraged to describe what they are doing as they create. Additionally, asking the child if they want their comments written down can help to develop language skills by encouraging them to articulate their thoughts and ideas clearly. Using all three strategies together can help to encourage a child's verbal fluency.

Question 6

A language-rich environment stimulates the formation of children's communication skills. Teachers can support children's communication skill development by:
A) answering requests and questions that are clearly delivered by the children.
B) listening to every child and encouraging them to listen.
C) limiting responses to the objects that are currently part of the curriculum theme.

A) progress of their cognitive growth.
B) emergence of their critical thinking skills.
C) ability to make meaningful choices.
D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

When teachers successfully integrate curriculum areas with activities, children engage in more experiences that promote progress in cognitive growth, the emergence of critical thinking skills, and the ability to make meaningful choices. Therefore, all of the above options are correct.

Question 8

Teachers and program administrations participate in the selection of appropriate technology and software by:
A) matching the software to the technical literacy level of the staff because they will be assisting the children.
B) matching the content to the developmental age of the enrolled children.
C) selecting software that holds the children's attention and sustain their involvement for a minimum of 24 minutes per session.
D) selecting merchandise that gives the most feedback to the children so that they can monitor their own progress.

Accepted Answer

The best choice is B because it is important for the technology and software to match the developmental age of the children. This ensures that the content is appropriate and engaging for the children and supports their learning and development. While the other options may also be considerations in the selection process, matching the content to the developmental age of the children is the most important factor to consider.

Question 10

When children develop communication skills they may:
A) listen, observe, and often recall or remember.
B) stop answering all questions.
C) avoid discussions with the other children in the program.
D) rarely express their feelings.

Accepted Answer

Developing communication skills involves not only speaking, but also active listening, observation, and recall or memory. Children who are developing communication skills may demonstrate these abilities. Choices B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the development of communication skills.

Question 11

Two important implications for early childhood curriculum include that experiences that support early brain development of young children. The experiences should include:
A) carefully sequenced lessons designed to meet school objectives.
B) provocative experiences that depend on teacher-timed activities.
C) ample interaction with appropriately responsive adults.
D) both B and C

Accepted Answer

Ample interaction with appropriately responsive adults is crucial for early brain development in children. This approach supports the development of social, emotional, and cognitive skills through responsive and interactive experiences rather than through strictly timed activities or solely sequenced lessons. Responsive interactions with adults provide the necessary stimulation and support for healthy brain development.

Question 13

The International Reading Association and the National Association for the Education of Young Children, in a joint position paper, points out to teachers and families that:
A) knowing the sounds associated with printed letters is the most important activity.
B) writing first names, or even isolated letters, is the most important activity.
C) reading aloud to children is the most important activity.
D) teaching specific ideas and concepts is the most important activity.

Accepted Answer

The joint position paper from the International Reading Association and the National Association for the Education of Young Children states that reading aloud to children is the most important activity for developing literacy skills.

Question 14

The mathematics program for children ages three to five years requires:
A) hands-on resources that are routinely rotated.
B) places to use, store, distribute, and replace the materials and manipulatives.
C) materials organized and displayed on low, accessible shelving.
D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the choices are necessary for a successful mathematics program for young children. Hands-on resources that are routinely rotated keep children engaged and interested, while places to use, store, distribute, and replace the materials and manipulatives ensure that they are well-maintained and readily available. Materials organized and displayed on low, accessible shelving create a child-friendly environment and promote independence when selecting and using the materials.

Question 15

Teachers can create relevant mathematics activities by:
A) responding to children's comments that only relate to mathematical concepts.
B) supporting meaningful discovery that takes children beyond simple observation of objects.
C) clarifying misconceptions with written review and immediate redirection to another curriculum area.
D) introducing daily and ongoing experiences to focus on counting aloud.

Accepted Answer

Supporting meaningful discovery that takes children beyond simple observation of objects helps to create relevant math activities that engage children in problem-solving and critical thinking. This approach also helps to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The other choices are not as effective in creating relevant math activities.

Question 18

Mathematics as a curriculum area throughout a well-planned and quality early childhood program can:
A) be enjoyable for the children but rarely for the teachers.
B) offer experiences about numbers as long as discovery is not included in the activity.
C) encourage inventiveness about numbers, sizes, weights, and time.
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

Mathematics in early childhood education, when done well, can encourage children to be creative and inventive in exploring numbers, sizes, weights, and time. It can be done in a playful and enjoyable manner, and can also benefit the professional development of teachers. Option A is not correct as it can lead to teacher burnout, and Option B is not correct as discovery and exploration are essential in early childhood mathematics education.
