Here are my answers,let me know which I

in a chair

3. (A) input from the senses and an
action that follows.

4. (A) discriminate

5. (B) The child is too stubborn.

Thanks for your help!

For 4, I think A or B could be correct. I agree that 5 might be wrong, though.

On question 5, I am confused- I know the teacher should kneel down to a child's level and speak directly to him,
so would (D) the teacher is standing up, be the best answer?

on question 4, would (B) classify,
be the best answer?

your changes seem reasonable.

what should I put for question #4?
what should I put for question #5?

But,If the teacher is standing
wouldn't a child have trouble
following directions?

I am very confused on question 5--
please help and give input,please!!!!!!

I'm confused because the question asks
Which is Not a likely reason why children have trouble following directions?

I am also confused on question 4,
because wouldn't you be asking the children to tell them apart(discriminate), or to specify same or different?

However to classify(has certain characteristics in common).

I am confused on question 4 and 5
Please help!

I will repost these later. I am confused. The only negative in question #5,is (C)the child doesn't understand the words.
That would NOT be a reason children have trouble following directions. As for question #4, I still say the children are asked to discriminate.

Please someone else give input, please!

If the child does not understand the words, how can he follow directions?

I can help clarify the answers to these questions for you.

1. The correct answer is D. Readiness skills include social, language, motor, and cognitive skills. Reading and math are part of cognitive skills, but readiness skills go beyond just those two subjects. They start to develop in first grade but involve various areas of development.

2. The correct answer is C. Providing frequent chances to move will probably NOT increase a young child's attention span. Making the child sit still in a chair might help to increase attention span, but it is not recommended as the only method. Using colorful and appealing toys and items children prefer can engage their attention.

3. The correct answer is A. Perceptual-motor skills involve input from the senses and an action that follows. This can include visual perception and coordination between senses and physical movement.

4. The correct answer is B. Asking children to place red and blue teddy bear counters into red and blue dishes helps them learn to classify. Classifying involves categorizing objects based on specific characteristics, such as color, size, or shape. Discrimination is the ability to tell apart or differentiate objects or ideas.

5. The correct answer is B. The child is too stubborn is NOT a likely reason why children have trouble following directions. Possible reasons could be if the directions are too long or complex for the child's developmental level, if the child doesn't understand the words used, or if the child is easily distracted. The teacher standing up or kneeling down would not directly affect the child's ability to follow directions; it's more about the clarity and understanding of the instructions given.

I hope this clears up any confusion and helps you understand the correct answers to these questions.
