All questions

Question 1

Maya is reading a story about a cat. She reads: 'The cat sat on the mat. The cat was fat.' When she gets to the word 'fat,' she first says 'cat' then stops, looks at the word again, and says 'fat.'

What reading strategy did Maya demonstrate when she corrected herself from 'cat' to 'fat'?

  1. She used picture clues to guess the word meaning
  2. She applied self-correcting strategies by rereading and fixing her mistake (correct answer)
  3. She increased her reading pace to finish the sentence faster
  4. She skipped the difficult word to maintain reading flow
Explanation: Maya demonstrated self-correcting strategies by recognizing her error, stopping, looking at the word again, and then reading it correctly. This shows she is monitoring her reading and fixing mistakes when they don't make sense. Option A is incorrect because no mention of pictures is made. Option C is wrong because she slowed down, not sped up. Option D is incorrect because she didn't skip the word but corrected it.

Question 2

Kevin reads, "They are hop..." and stops because it does not make sense. What should Kevin do?

  1. Go back and read the word again (correct answer)
  2. Skip the rest of the book
  3. Make up a new word
  4. Close the book
Explanation: When a word does not make sense, go back and read it again. When Kevin reads it again, he sees that the word is happy.

Question 3

Three students read the same simple sentence: 'The cat sits by the window.' Marcus reads it in 8 seconds with no errors. Lisa reads it in 15 seconds, self-corrects one word, and achieves accuracy. David reads it in 25 seconds, makes three attempts at 'window,' and finally gets it right.

Considering appropriate pace and self-correction for emergent readers, how should these reading performances be evaluated?

  1. Marcus shows the best performance because speed and accuracy together indicate advanced reading development
  2. Lisa demonstrates the most appropriate emergent reading behaviors with balanced pace and effective self-correction (correct answer)
  3. David shows the most thorough approach because multiple attempts ensure complete word mastery
  4. All three students show equivalent performance since they all achieved accuracy in the end
Explanation: Lisa shows the most appropriate behaviors for an emergent reader: reasonable pace, effective self-correction when needed, and good accuracy. This balance is ideal for developing readers. Option A is wrong because very fast reading might indicate sight word reading without strategy development. Option C is incorrect because excessive attempts suggest the text may be too difficult. Option D is wrong because the approaches show different skill levels and aren't equivalent.
