Question

A second-grade teacher regularly reviews spelling patterns previously taught. The teacher also provides students with multiple opportunities to read and write connected text that features words containing the target spelling patterns and to engage in word sorts focused on previously taught spelling patterns. These types of activities are likely to promote students' reading proficiency primarily by developing their:

A. knowledge of grade-level vocabulary.
B. reading fluency with respect to accuracy.
C. awareness of different types of morphemes.
D. word recognition with respect to sight words.

Answer 1

The activities are likely to develop students' word recognition with respect to sight words.

Step-by-step explanation:

The activities described in the question, such as reading and writing connected text and engaging in word sorts, are likely to promote students' word recognition with respect to sight words. By practicing reading and writing words containing the target spelling patterns, students become familiar with these words and are better equipped to recognize them in other contexts. This improves their overall reading proficiency by increasing their ability to quickly and accurately identify words.
