    • Social Interaction

    • Writing

    • Counting

    Correct Answer
    A. Writing
    Explanation
    The game "Go Fish" promotes talking, social interaction, and counting as players communicate, interact, and keep track of the cards they have and the ones they need. However, writing is not a skill that is necessary or promoted in the game, as it primarily focuses on verbal communication and counting skills.

    • Enjoy talking and listening to others

    Correct Answer
    A. No longer need visual support
    Explanation
    Children between the ages of four and five typically possess recognition of some letters, can name six to eight colors, and enjoy talking and listening to others. However, they may still need visual support to understand certain concepts or information. Therefore, the one language skill that they may not possess at this age is no longer needing visual support.

    Children with ________________ often have trouble controlling their volume and rate of speech.

    • Autism

    • Asperger's

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Children with autism and Asperger's often have trouble controlling their volume and rate of speech. Autism and Asperger's are both neurodevelopmental disorders that can affect communication skills. One common characteristic of these disorders is difficulty with social interaction, which can manifest as challenges in verbal communication. This can result in difficulties in regulating the volume and rate of speech, leading to issues with speaking too loudly or too quickly. Therefore, it is accurate to say that children with autism and Asperger's often struggle with controlling their volume and rate of speech.

    • Name more than 10 shapes

    Correct Answer
    A. Print their name
    Explanation
    Children between ages 4 and 5 generally possess the ability to print their name. At this age, children have developed fine motor skills necessary for writing and are able to recognize and reproduce letters. While they may not be able to write in cursive or read sheet music, they are capable of printing their own name, which is an important milestone in their literacy and cognitive development. Naming more than 10 shapes may be a skill that is typically acquired at a later age.

    • Increase reading accuracy

    • Practice letter formation

    Correct Answer
    A. Nurture children's language skills
    Explanation
    Taking turns telling jokes is a great way to nurture children's language skills. This activity encourages children to think creatively, use language effectively, and develop their communication skills. By telling jokes, children learn how to construct sentences, use appropriate vocabulary, and understand humor. It also helps them improve their listening and comprehension skills as they need to understand the jokes being told by others. Overall, this activity promotes language development and fosters a positive and enjoyable learning environment for children.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Children between the ages of 4 and 5 typically have developed enough cognitive and language skills to know their name, address, and phone number. At this stage, they are able to remember and recall personal information such as their name, home address, and contact number. This knowledge is important for their safety and well-being as it allows them to identify themselves and provide necessary information in case of an emergency or when needed. Therefore, it is expected that children in this age group would know all of the given options.

    All of the following are ways to nurture language development in a child EXCEPT

    • Timed vocabulary drilling

    • Making frequent visits to the library

    • Reading daily

    • Singing

    Correct Answer
    A. Timed vocabulary drilling
    Explanation
    Timed vocabulary drilling is not a way to nurture language development in a child. While it may help improve vocabulary skills, it does not promote overall language development. Making frequent visits to the library, reading daily, and singing are all activities that expose children to language, encourage literacy, and enhance their language skills. These activities provide opportunities for children to engage with different types of language, expand their vocabulary, and develop their communication skills.

  • 10. 

    You can help nurture language development in a child with Autism or Asperger's by

    • Working on turn taking skills when speaking

    • Turning off closed-captioning when watching a movie or television

    • Reading non-repetitive books

    • Never modeling language

    Correct Answer
    A. Working on turn taking skills when speaking
    Explanation
    Working on turn taking skills when speaking can help nurture language development in a child with Autism or Asperger's. This is because turn taking skills involve taking turns in a conversation, which helps the child learn how to listen and respond appropriately. By practicing turn taking, the child can improve their communication skills, such as waiting for their turn to speak, understanding social cues, and engaging in back-and-forth exchanges. This can ultimately support their language development and enhance their ability to engage in meaningful conversations with others.

    • Helps create a safe and consistent academic environment

    • Helps develop pronoun awareness

    Correct Answer
    A. Helps create a safe and consistent academic environment
    Explanation
    Home-School Connection is important because it helps create a safe and consistent academic environment. When there is a strong connection between home and school, parents or guardians are more involved in their child's education. This involvement allows for better communication between teachers and parents, ensuring that the child's academic needs are met. It also helps in establishing consistent routines and expectations for the child, creating a safe and supportive learning environment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wordless picture book
    Explanation
    The Secret Box is likely a wordless picture book because it does not contain any text or written words. Wordless picture books rely solely on illustrations to tell a story, allowing readers to interpret the narrative based on the images presented. These types of books are often used to encourage creativity, imagination, and storytelling skills in young readers.
