• Understand the importance of oral language and the developmental processes of language, including listening and speaking skills.
• Understand the foundations of early literacy development.
• Understand the importance of word identification (decoding, blending, structural analysis, and sight word vocabulary) and reading fluency.

Language Arts, Part II: Reading Comprehension and Assessment, Reading Applications, Written Language, Viewing and Representing and Study and Inquiry Skills – 67%.

• Understand components and processes of reading comprehension; apply strategies to improve student comprehension.
• Understand reading skills and strategies for texts and contests; instruct students in the application of skills and strategies to enhance reading proficiency.
• Understand and apply conventions of writing in English; apply knowledge to help students develop proficiency.
• Instruct and guide students' development of written communication.
• Understand the skills needed for interpreting, analyzing, evaluating, and producing visual images and messages; provide students opportunities to develop skills.

The questions will test your ability to recall factual information, think critically about the information presented, analyze that information, compare presented situations with your knowledge, and/or make a judgment about it. Often there are reading passages, graphics, and tables included with the question.
