A first-grade teacher explains that he is going to read a story aloud, and he wants the students to consider how the story makes them feel.

This oral language activity supports students' literacy development primarily by helping the students...

develop an awareness of a story's tone

A kindergarten teacher has placed many signs around the classroom, including simple written directions and labels for objects.

creating a print-rich environment

At the beginning of the school year, a kindergarten teacher establishes a variety of classroom roles that rotate on a daily basis. The roles include Calendar Helper and Star of the Day. The Calendar Helper identifies and announces the day of the week, the date, and the day's weather, with teacher support if needed. The Star of the Day shares an object, talking briefly about the item and then answering three questions about it from classmates and/or the teacher. Regularly performing these types of classroom roles directly benefits students' emergent literacy development primarily by enhancing the students'...

awareness of the relationship between print and spoken language

A kindergarten teacher reads aloud a poem that contains alliteration in each line. The teacher reads the poem twice, each time emphasizing the alliteration. On the third reading, the teacher invites the children to repeat each line exactly as the teacher recited it. This activity is most effective in promoting the children's development in which of the following areas of emergent literacy?

phonological awareness

A third-grade student is having difficulty reading words and syllables that contain complex letter combinations, which is affecting her comprehension of grade-level texts. For example, the student reads the word stretch as [st] [ret] [ch] and the word pledge as [p] [led] [guh].

This type of activity primarily focuses on which of the following aspects of reading fluency?

Which sound

One sound Digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh, ck, ng, gh) such, with, shall, when, back, sing Most Anglo-Saxon in origin The digraph ph (to spell the /f/ sound) and ch (to spell the /k/ sound) are Greek in origin.
