  1. The 'Simple View of Reading' formula (R = D × LC) suggests that reading comprehension requires which two components?

    Answer: Decoding and language comprehension

    The Simple View of Reading states that reading comprehension equals decoding ability multiplied by language comprehension.

  2. An AAC-using child demonstrates strong language comprehension but very weak decoding. According to the Simple View of Reading, this profile is described as:

    Answer: Dyslexia

    Weak decoding with intact language comprehension fits the profile of dyslexia within the Simple View of Reading framework.

  3. Which phonological awareness skill is considered the most advanced and directly supports spelling in AAC users?

    Answer: Phoneme manipulation

    Phoneme manipulation—the ability to add, delete, and substitute individual phonemes—is the most advanced phonological awareness skill and closely supports spelling.

  4. A practitioner uses 'symbol-supported text' in literacy instruction for an AAC user. What is the primary purpose of this adaptation?

    Answer: To scaffold comprehension while maintaining exposure to print

    Symbol-supported text scaffolds comprehension by pairing symbols with printed words, maintaining the student's engagement with conventional print.

  5. Research on literacy outcomes for individuals with complex communication needs shows that:

    Answer: Many individuals with CCN can achieve meaningful literacy skills with appropriate instruction

    Research demonstrates that many individuals with complex communication needs can achieve meaningful literacy with appropriate, systematic instruction.

  6. When teaching an AAC user to compose written messages independently, which strategy best develops message formulation skills?

    Answer: Practicing sentence-level construction using core vocabulary on the AAC device

    Practicing sentence-level construction using core vocabulary on the AAC device builds authentic, generative writing skills.

  7. What does 'aided language stimulation' during literacy activities involve?

    Answer: The communication partner pointing to AAC symbols while speaking during shared reading

    Aided language stimulation involves the partner simultaneously pointing to symbols on the AAC system and speaking, modeling AAC use in context.
