OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the main advantage of synthetic phonics over analytic phonics in teaching reading? Synthetic phonics is taught through whole words, while analytic phonics is not.

OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which type of phonics instruction involves teaching students to identify and manipulate rime segments in words? Analytic phonics Synthetic phonics Embedded phonics Analogy-based phonics None 12. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development When teaching students to read multisyllabic words, which strategy involves breaking words into smaller units to make them easier to read? Chunking Segmenting Blending Skimming None 13. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the primary function of semantic mapping in reading instruction? To associate words with their meanings and relationships To segment words into smaller units for analysis To map the sounds of words to their written forms To identify sight words for fluency None 14. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which of the following statements describes the concept of "phoneme isolation" in phonological awareness? Identifying individual phonemes in a word Combining phonemes to create a new word Recognizing similar phonemes in different words Distinguishing between similar phonemes None 15. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development A student reads the word "train" by recognizing the "tr" and "ain" segments separately and then blending them. Which reading approach is this? Analytic phonics Analogy-based phonics Embedded phonics Synthetic phonics None 16. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is a key benefit of using a systematic phonics program in early reading instruction? It allows students to learn reading skills in a structured manner. It promotes creativity and imagination in reading. It emphasizes reading for comprehension. It focuses on reading fluency. None 17. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which of the following best describes the term "phonological awareness" in reading development? Awareness of all aspects of spoken language, including words, syllables, and phonemes Awareness of the relationship between written and spoken language Awareness of correct spelling and grammar rules Awareness of punctuation in written text None 18. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which reading strategy involves students listening to an audio recording of a text while following along with the written words? Repeated reading Round-robin reading Audio-assisted reading Shared reading None 19. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the main goal of "guided reading" in early reading instruction? To provide individualized instruction based on students' reading levels To encourage students to read independently for comprehension To focus on sight word recognition To assess students' reading comprehension skills None 20. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which of the following statements describes "echo reading" in early reading instruction? A teacher reads a sentence, and students repeat it after them A teacher reads a text while students follow along silently A teacher reads one word, and students continue with the next word A teacher reads an entire text, and students summarize it afterward None 21. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the primary focus of "sight word instruction" in reading development? Teaching students to recognize common words without sounding them out Encouraging students to read for comprehension Teaching students to decode complex words Helping students understand the meaning of unfamiliar words None 22. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the key characteristic of "balanced literacy" in reading instruction? It combines various reading approaches to meet different learning needs. It focuses primarily on phonics instruction. It relies heavily on whole-language learning. It uses only decodable texts for reading practice. None 23. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which phonological awareness skill involves breaking words into syllables to assist with reading? Syllable segmentation Phoneme segmentation Onset and rime segmentation Syllable blending None 24. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is a common characteristic of dyslexia that affects reading development? Difficulty with phonological processing and decoding Inability to comprehend written text Difficulty with writing and spelling Aversion to reading and literacy activities None 25. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which of the following is a key characteristic of "read-aloud" sessions in early reading instruction? A teacher reads a text aloud while students listen and follow along. A teacher reads a text aloud, and students repeat after them. A teacher reads one part of a text, and students complete the next part. A teacher reads a text aloud and asks comprehension questions afterward. None 26. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which reading skill involves identifying the first sound in a word and combining it with the rest of the word to decode? Onset and rime Blending Segmenting Skimming None 27. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the purpose of "paired reading" in early reading instruction? To provide peer support for reading fluency To encourage independent reading To facilitate shared reading among a group To improve comprehension through discussion None 28. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What does the term "word attack skills" refer to in reading development? Strategies used to decode unfamiliar words Techniques for memorizing sight words Skills for understanding word meanings Approaches for improving reading fluency None 29. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the primary focus of "language experience approach" (LE in reading instruction? A) Using students' personal experiences to create reading material Teaching students to decode words through phonics Using auditory learning techniques to enhance comprehension Encouraging students to read independently for comprehension None 30. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is a key benefit of "interactive read-aloud" sessions in early reading instruction? Students actively engage with the text through discussions and questions. Students improve their fluency by repeating after the teacher. Students develop decoding skills by sounding out words. Students enhance their comprehension by listening silently. None 31. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What is the main advantage of using "word walls" in early reading classrooms? They provide visual reinforcement of high-frequency words and vocabulary. They offer students a place to practice writing skills. They serve as a tool for independent reading practice. They act as a guide for understanding grammar and syntax. None 32. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development Which strategy involves students listening to a text while reading along, with the focus on reinforcing fluency and pronunciation? Choral reading Audio-assisted reading Partner reading Echo reading None 33. OAE: Foundations of Reading Development What does "concepts of print" refer to in the context of early reading instruction?
