    Explanation
    Learning vocabulary that is related to community, their lives, and real world events helps children better understand the vocabulary terms. By learning vocabulary related to community, children can understand the concepts and terms associated with their immediate surroundings and the people they interact with. Learning vocabulary related to their lives helps children connect the new words to their personal experiences, making it easier for them to comprehend and remember. Additionally, learning vocabulary related to real world events helps children understand current affairs, cultural references, and the broader context in which the words are used.

    Correct Answer
    A. Vocabulary
    Explanation
    Learning how to read will mostly increase a child's understanding of vocabulary. When a child learns to read, they are exposed to a wide range of words and their meanings. This exposure helps them to expand their vocabulary and understand the meanings of different words. Reading also allows children to encounter words in different contexts, which further enhances their understanding of vocabulary. Additionally, reading helps children to learn new words and their correct usage, which contributes to their overall language development.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Has the ability to listen or read language and be able to know what it means.
    Explanation
    Metalinguistic awareness refers to a child's ability to understand and interpret language. This includes the ability to listen or read language and comprehend its meaning. It goes beyond simply understanding when someone is speaking to them and involves a deeper understanding of the language itself. This awareness allows the child to make connections between words, sentences, and their meanings, enhancing their overall language skills.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2-3
    Explanation
    Children of this age, typically referring to preschoolers or early elementary school-aged children, have developed enough cognitive abilities to understand and follow 2-3 step questions. They have improved their language skills and can comprehend and respond to more complex instructions or inquiries that involve multiple steps. This level of cognitive development allows them to process information and execute tasks that require a higher level of thinking and problem-solving.

    Correct Answer
    A. 16-20
    Explanation
    In a day, a child normally learns around 16-20 words in school. This answer implies that children are exposed to a significant amount of vocabulary and language learning opportunities in a typical school day. It suggests that the learning environment in school is conducive to language acquisition and that children are actively engaged in expanding their vocabulary through various activities and lessons.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Students learn on average__________words in a school year.

    • 1000

    • 2000

    • 3000

    • 4000

    Correct Answer
    A. 3000
    Explanation
    Students learn on average 3000 words in a school year. This means that over the course of a year, students acquire a vocabulary of 3000 new words. This can be through various methods such as reading, studying, and classroom instruction. Learning 3000 new words in a year demonstrates the progress and growth in a student's language and communication skills.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    When dealing with large vocabulary children often use what skill to understand words?

    • Separate them and sound them out

    • Use context clues

    • USe syllables

    • Look up definitions

    Correct Answer
    A. Separate them and sound them out
    Explanation
    When dealing with large vocabulary, children often use the skill of separating words into individual sounds and sounding them out to understand their meanings. This strategy helps them break down unfamiliar words into smaller, more manageable parts, allowing them to decode and comprehend the word's meaning. By segmenting words into syllables and pronouncing each sound, children can make connections between the sounds they hear and the letters they see, aiding in their overall word recognition and comprehension skills.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Students of this age are able to understand ______________ words, but can’t understand _____________words.

    • Function; Content

    • Function; Pattern

    • Content; Pattern

    • Content; Funtion

    Correct Answer
    A. Content; Funtion
    Explanation
    Students of this age are able to understand content words, but can't understand function words. Content words are words that carry meaning and refer to objects, actions, or concepts, such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Function words, on the other hand, are words that serve a grammatical function, such as articles, prepositions, and pronouns. At this age, students have developed a basic understanding of the meaning of words and can comprehend content words, but they may struggle with the more abstract and grammatical nature of function words.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    In the realm of grammatical development in children, the length of sentences they write depends on what?

    • Reading level

    • Age of siblings

    • Reading and writing fluency

    • Age

    Correct Answer
    A. Age
    Explanation
    The length of sentences that children write depends on their age. As children grow older, their language skills and cognitive abilities develop, allowing them to construct longer and more complex sentences. Younger children typically write shorter sentences, while older children are capable of writing longer and more sophisticated sentences. Therefore, age plays a significant role in the grammatical development of children.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    “Metalinguistic Awareness” deals with which part of a child’s learning?

    • Speech sound perception

    • Grammatical development

    • Language comprehension

    • Receptive vocabulary

    Correct Answer
    A. Receptive vocabulary
    Explanation
    Metalinguistic awareness refers to a child's ability to think about and reflect on language itself. It involves understanding and manipulating language at a higher level, such as recognizing and discussing the sounds, grammar, and meaning of words. Receptive vocabulary, on the other hand, refers to a child's ability to understand and comprehend words and their meanings. While both concepts involve language, metalinguistic awareness focuses more on the awareness and analysis of language, while receptive vocabulary focuses on understanding and comprehending words.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What aspect of the children is looked at when they have trouble putting events in order?

    • Speech sound perception

    • Grammatical development

    • Language comprehension

    • Receptive vocabulary

    Correct Answer
    A. Speech sound perception
    Explanation
    When children have trouble putting events in order, it suggests that they may have difficulty perceiving speech sounds accurately. This can affect their ability to understand and process language, as they may struggle to distinguish between different sounds and therefore have trouble organizing events in a coherent sequence. Grammatical development, language comprehension, and receptive vocabulary are all important aspects of language development, but they are not specifically related to the challenge of putting events in order.
