| At any age, what areas do poor readers exhibit weaknesses in? | 1. phonological awareness 2. speed and accuracy of word recognition skills |
| What other problems arise when older students continues to have difficulties reading? | Overall problems with language(spoken and written) and includes comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and writing skills |
| True/False - Effective instruction stimulates language awareness. | TRUE |
| What is the insight that written words are composed of letters of the alphabet that are intentionally and conventionally related to segments of spoken words? | The Alphabetic Principle |
| Majority of poor readers in the intermediate and upper grades who read below the 30th percentile need instruction in what 2 basic skills? | 1. the alphabetic principle(map speech sounds to letter symbols) 2. orthographic processing(recognize letter sequence accurately and quickly) |
| True/False - The reading techniques/strategies used to teach older students are the same as the ones used to teach younger students. | False |
| Teachers can teach older students sound-symbol correspondence in the context of ____________? | syllables |

| Third graders typically read at more than ____ words per minute. | 100 |
| When teaching comprehension a teacher must simultaneously teach students about ___________, ___________, _________, _________, and _________. | sentence structure, text cohesion, punctuation, phrasing, and grammar |
| Decoding problems in reading are primarily associated with problems segmenting _____ and ____ into phonemes. | words and syllables |
| For at least ____% of children, the decoding process is not straightforward and must be taught. | 30% |
| True/False - At least 10 million children in the United States are poor readers. | TRUE |
| Of all children identified as learning disabled in schools, 80% are primarily impaired in what academic area? | Reading and 90% of these children have problems with the development of decoding skills. |
| There are multiple causes of poor reading, but the primary problems occur at the level of the ______ word. | single |
| What are the 4 causes of poor reading? | 1. Neurological 2. Familial/Genetics 3. Social Disadvantage/Cultural 4. Instructional |
| True/False - The type of direct instruction alphabetic program is less important than the intensity, duration, and teacher training/monitoring so long as the program is structured and explicit. | TRUE |
| What is the ability to deal explicitly and segmentally with sound units smaller than the syllable? | Phonemic Awareness |
| What is the term used to refer to sensitivity to the structure of the writing system(spelling patterns, orthographic rules, inflectional and derivational morphology, etymology)? | Orthographic Awareness |
| What is the term used for strategies that help students attend to and remember what they read? | Comprehensive Monitoring Strategies |
| Research tells us that if we review information within ____ hours of learning it, we are much more likely to remember it in the long run. | within 24 hours |
| What are some possible strategies that can help students with memorization of information learned in the classroom? | 1. Sort Information into different categories 2. Frequently Review information learned 3. Use humor or exaggeration to make connections 4. Explore the senses(visual,verbal, kinesthetically) use at least 2 5. Color code 6. Make visual aids(pictures, |
| Students with learning disabilities in reading usually have problems in _______ as well. | Spelling |
| Poor ______ can hamper writing and can convey a negative impression even when the content of the writing is excellent. | spelling |

| True/False - Teach common irregular words from the earliest stages of spelling. | TRUE |
| True/False - Emphasize activities taht involve oral spelling, not writing or building printed words with letter tiles. | FALSE - it is the opposite |
| True/False - Encourage independent reading to increase exposure to printed words. | TRUE - the more exposure to text and print the better |
