A teacher is working with a group of third graders at the same reading level. Her goal is to imrpve reading fluency. She asks each child in turn to read a page from a book about mamal young. She asks the children to read with expression. She also reminds them they don't need to stop between each word; they should read as quickly as they comfortably can. She cautions them, however, not to read so quickly that they leave out or misread a word. The teacher knows the components of reading fluency are:
Rate, accuracy, and prosody. Fluent readers are able to read smoothly and comfortably at a steady pace (rate). The more quickly a child reads, the greater the chance of leaving out a word or substituting one word for another (for example, sink instead of shrink). fluent readers are able to maintain accuracy without sacrificing rate. Fluent readers also stress important words in a text, group words into rhythimic phrases, and read with intonation (prosody).
"Language load" refers to"

A third-grade teacher has several students reading above grade level. Most of the remaiing students are reading at grade level. there are also a few students reading below grade level. She decides to experiment. Her hypothesis is that by giving the entire class a chapter book above grade level, high-level readers will be satisfied, grade-level readers will be challenged, in a positvie way, and students reading below grade level will be inspired to improve. Her method is most likely to:
Fail, producing students at a Frustration reading level. Those reading below grade level are likely to give up entirely. Those reading at grade level are likely to get frustrated and form habits that will actually slow down their development.
Of the three tiers of words, the most important words for direct instruction are:
Tier-two words. Tier-two words are words that are used with high frequency across a variety of disciplines or words with multiple meanings. They are characteristic of mature language users.

At the beginning of each month, Mr. Yi has Jade read a page or two from a book she hasn't seen before, He notes the total number or words in the section, and also notes the number of times she leaves out or misreads a word. If Jade reads the passage with less than 3% error, Mr. Yi is satisfiedl that Jade is:
Reading at her Inderpendent reading level. When reading independently, students are at the correct level if they read with at least 97% accuracy.
The purpose of corrective feedback is:
To correct an error in reading a student has made, specifically clarifying where and how the error was made so that the student can avoid similar errors in the future.
Dr. Jenks is working with a group of high school students. They are about to read a science book about fossils. Before they begin, she writes the words stomatolites, fossilferous, and eocene on the board. She explains the meaning of each word. The words are examples of:
Content-specific words-Because these words are specific to paleontology, it's unlikely the students know their meanings. Without understanding what these words mean, the students would not be able to understand the content of the passage they were about to read.

A fourth-grade teacher is preparing her students for a reading test in which a number of words have been replaced with blanks. The test will be multiple-choice; there are three possible answers given for each blank. The teacher instructs the children to read all the the possible answers and cross out any answer that obviously doesn't fit. Next, the students should "plug in" the remaining choices and eliminate any that are grammatically incorrect or illogical. Finally, the sudent should consider contextual clues in order to select the best answer. This is an example of:
Strategy instruction involves teaching a methodic approach to solving a reading problem . It consists of strategies done in steps which aid the reader in eliminsting incorrect responses.
