I agree with your answers to #s 2 and 3. However, I think repetition is the best answer to # 1. As I recall these books, the authors use a lot of repetition. You might also check this site.

Ms. Sue, thank you for your help!
0n question 1,isn't referential language
critical to the development of literacy skills?
That's why I was thiking the correct answer was referential language?
Have you listened to and/or read those stories? Repetition is throughout. Ms. Sue is correct.
=)
I know repetitions are throughtout the stories-but please explain to me why the correct answer would not be referential language.
Because referential language promote literacy skills.
As I understand referential language, it's the way a child learns to speak -- first with one word -- then adding one, two, three more words -- to make sentences.
But many different techniques promote literacy skills. Repetition is one of these techniques. Children love the repetition and often virtually memorize these stories. They then will "read" the story to another person. As they do that, they're making the connection between oral speech and written language -- a necessary prerequisite for reading.
Let's go through each question and answer choice to determine the correct answers:
1. Stories such as "The Three Little Pigs," "The Billy Goats Gruff," or Dr. Seuss books promote children's cognitive and linguistic skills through the _____________ strategy.
(A) repetition
(B) eventcasts
(C) referential language
(D) recasting
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the strategies mentioned.
- Repetition refers to repeating words or phrases, which may help with memorization but may not necessarily promote cognitive and linguistic development.
- Eventcasts refer to describing ongoing events and actions, which can facilitate children's understanding of narratives but may not directly focus on cognitive and linguistic skills.
- Referential language refers to using language to refer to objects, actions, or events, which aids in building vocabulary and comprehension skills.
From the given options, the most appropriate answer is (C) referential language. This strategy involves using language to refer to specific objects or concepts, which plays an essential role in children's cognitive and linguistic development.
Your answer of (C) referential language is correct.
2. The use of _________ characterizes the teacher's method of initiating and directing children's verbal responses in a format that can confuse children from non-mainstream cultures.
(A) language modeling
(B) eventcasts
(C) school language
(D) language conventions
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the concepts mentioned.
- Language modeling refers to providing children with correct, well-formed language examples to encourage them to imitate and learn from those models.
- Eventcasts, as discussed earlier, involve describing ongoing events and actions.
- Language conventions refer to the rules and standards that govern language structure and usage.
From the given options, the most appropriate answer is (C) school language. This term describes the language conventions taught and used in the school environment, which can differ from the language patterns or conventions used in non-mainstream cultures.
Your answer of (C) school language is correct.
3. If a child says, "I be sick yesterday wif a cole," a qualified teacher will conclude that the boy:
(A) is using Black English Dialect
(B) comes from a poverty-level home environment
(C) requires special education assistance
(D) cannot speak Standard American Dialect
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the child's speech pattern.
- Black English Dialect (also known as African American Vernacular English) refers to a dialect spoken by some African American communities.
- Poverty-level home environment is not directly related to the child's language pattern.
- Special education assistance is not something we can conclude solely based on the provided statement.
- Standard American Dialect refers to the accepted standard variety of English used in the United States.
From the given options, the most appropriate answer is (A) is using Black English Dialect. The child's use of "be" instead of "was," "wif" instead of "with," and "cole" instead of "cold" indicates a speech pattern commonly associated with Black English Dialect.
Your answer of (A) is using Black English Dialect is correct.
In conclusion, all of your answers are correct. Well done!
