Which instructional approach will be most helpful to support her future reading skills? wide reading of texts from a variety of topics Which is the best way to assess students' ability to recognize real words in print? Have students do timed and untimed readings of graded word lists; sight words should be recognized within one second.
Which of the following should be a major instructional focus for students at the consolidated alphabetic phase? Check all that apply.
Knowledge of letter names in kindergarten is an excellent predictor of later reading success. true false true Students should establish a habit of trying to blend all the sounds in a word before they "adjust" or "flex" the pronunciation to make a real word. true false true Which activities are recommended to help students develop visual-motor skills before they learn to form letters? Select all that apply. a. tracing and drawing geometric shapes b. drawing circles and lines on sandpaper c. writing lines and circles with a pencil on paper d. skywriting in the air with large movements

Select all that apply. a. word webs d. word classification Which activity is best for helping students distinguish between easily confused speech sounds such as /k/ and /g/? b. a word chain using minimally contrasting pairs
