- Kevin reads, "They are hop..." and stops because it does not make sense. What should Kevin do?
Answer: Go back and read the word again
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.
- Considering appropriate pace and self-correction for emergent readers, how should these reading performances be evaluated?
Answer: Lisa demonstrates the most appropriate emergent reading behaviors with balanced pace and effective self-correction
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.
- What reading strategy did Maya demonstrate when she corrected herself from 'cat' to 'fat'?
Answer: She applied self-correcting strategies by rereading and fixing her mistake
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.
