What is the primary purpose of a 'running record' in reading assessment?
Answer: To record and analyze a student's reading accuracy, errors, and strategies
A running record is an observational tool where teachers document a student's reading behaviors in real time, analyzing accuracy, self-corrections, and error patterns.
At which reading accuracy level is text considered to be at a student's 'instructional level'?
Answer: 90–94% accuracy (instructional level)
The instructional reading level (90–94% accuracy) is where effective teaching occurs; the text is challenging enough to promote growth but not so difficult it causes frustration.
In a Response to Intervention (RTI) framework, which tier provides targeted small-group supplemental reading instruction for at-risk students?
Answer: Tier 2 – Targeted small-group supplemental instruction
Tier 2 of RTI provides supplemental small-group instruction (typically 3–5 students) for students identified as at-risk who need support beyond the core classroom program.
Which literacy intervention approach uses a structured, sequential, multisensory method and is considered a gold standard for students with dyslexia?
Answer: Orton-Gillingham approach
The Orton-Gillingham approach is a structured, sequential, cumulative, and multisensory reading intervention specifically developed for students with dyslexia.
A student substitutes the word 'automobile' for 'car' while reading. How should this miscue most likely be interpreted?
Answer: As a semantically acceptable substitution showing comprehension
Substituting 'automobile' for 'car' is a semantically acceptable miscue indicating the student understands the text's meaning, even though the exact word differs.
Which type of assessment is administered frequently throughout the school year to track student growth toward specific reading benchmarks?
Answer: Progress monitoring assessment given repeatedly over time
Progress monitoring assessments are brief, repeated measures administered frequently (weekly or biweekly) to track student growth and adjust instruction accordingly.
A second-grade teacher wants to build students' reading fluency. Which instructional practice is MOST effective for developing fluency?
Answer: Using repeated oral reading with feedback and modeling
Research consistently shows that repeated oral reading with corrective feedback and teacher modeling is the most effective practice for developing reading fluency.
