All questions

Question 1

Sentence: "Birds can fly in the sky." You read "fry." How can you fix this?

  1. Reread the sentence the exact same way.
  2. Ask a friend right away, without trying.
  3. Keep reading, even if it sounds wrong.
  4. Reread and think what makes sense. (correct answer)
Explanation: When a word does not make sense, reread and think of a word that fits, like 'fly.' Rereading it the exact same way gives you the same wrong word, and asking a friend right away or reading on does not fix it.

Read the sentence. Which word does NOT make sense?

  1. bog (correct answer)
  2. books
  3. put
  4. Nina

Which word should replace "tall" so the sentence makes sense?

  1. tall
  2. tail (correct answer)

Which word belongs in the blank?

  1. sunny (correct answer)
  2. funny

  1. no
  2. now
  3. know (correct answer)

Read the sentence. Which word does NOT make sense?

  1. Malik
  2. want (correct answer)

  1. mouse
  2. rag (correct answer)

Which word should replace "ruins" so the sentence makes sense?

  1. runs (correct answer)
  2. ruins
  3. rains

  1. Reread and change it to runs. (correct answer)
  2. Reread it and say ruins again.
  3. Sound out the letters once and stop.
  4. Skip it and keep reading.
Explanation: The best fix is to reread and change it to 'runs,' which makes sense. Rereading and saying 'ruins' again repeats the mistake, and sounding out once then stopping, or skipping, leaves the sentence not making sense.

  1. can
  2. cap
  3. cat (correct answer)

Read the sentence. Which word does NOT make sense?

  1. cat
  2. soft
  3. bat (correct answer)
  4. has
Explanation: 'Bat' does not make sense: a cat does not have a soft bat. Reread it and the word should be something like 'bed.' The other words all fit.

Question 18

Sentence: "The dog runs fast." You read "ruins." How do you know it is wrong?

  1. It does not make sense in the sentence. (correct answer)
  2. It makes sense, but it has too many letters.
  3. It starts with the same letter as runs.
  4. It rhymes with fast.
Explanation: You know 'ruins' is wrong because it does not make sense in 'The dog   fast.' 'Ruins' does not make sense here, so its length is not the problem. Starting with the same letter as runs, or rhyming with fast, would not tell you whether a word fits.

Which word should replace "pand" so the sentence makes sense?

  1. pant
  2. pond (correct answer)
  3. pand
  4. point
