Read the first chapter of module 4 (page 1-53) and take this test.
(11).What are the intervention strategies which give larger outcomes ?
(a) direct instruction (b) learning strategy instruction (c) using a sequential simultaneous structured multisensory approach (d) informal instruction (e) a ,b and c
(12.) Intervention strategies for Learning and teaching involves.........
(A) establishing a supportive relationship with the student , focussing on what the student can do rather than what he or she cannot do and building own his / her strength ,including lots of praise and encouragement as part of students learning and teaching experience ,simplifying language, repeating words and clarifying meanings ; observing the student's learning style and differentiating learning and teaching accordingly.
(B) providing the student with tasks that are within his or her capacity ; enabling the student to experience success through identifying realistic learning objectives for each lesson ; ensring tasks have a clear meaning and purpose ;considering a multi-sensory approach to spelling that provides opportunities for the student to follow the look, copy ,trace, picture ,cover write and check sequence technique ; utilizing semantic / concept mapping to build on the student's existing knowledge.
(C) using short sequential steps when teaching ; building opportunities for over learning and repetition into lessons; differentiating questioning as well as teaching and givng the student opportunities to generalize Knowledge and Skills ; helping the students to realize that making mistakes is part of the learning process ; Incorporating the students interests, aptitudes ,experiences and skills into learning and teaching
(D) utilizing Active Learning , participation and collaboration with the peers ; encouraging the development of personal and social skills through all aspects of the curriculum and allowing for the fact that social skills may also have to be taught explicitly ; paying particular attention to language and communication in all areas of the curriculum ; using techniques for picking out and highlighting keywords / key facts in written pieces of information using subject dictionaries, sequencing activities and mind mapping ; using a wide range of learning resources (like visual aids , charts, artefacts concrete objects, computer software and accessible texts)
(E) providing worksheets that minimize the amount of writing required ;offering student curriculum programs with an emphasis on pre vocational skills ; providing immediate feedback and opportunities for self-assessment ; if using computer equipment student may derive benefit from assistive technology (like using lowercase keyboards , keyboard overlays, optical mice or roller balls ) and allowing peripheral hardware items such as digital cameras and scanners for student to relate their work directly to their own experience and assist in the implementation of a language experience approach to learning.

(e) Exercises can reduce stress and hence learning perfomance can be improved.
(16)Multi-sensory techniques are frequently used for students with learning disabilities. Teaching and learning in this way is an exciting journey of discovery. Multi-sensory approaches teach reading and writing including spelling through using ...... pathways.

(17) This type of instruction involves students with LD and others with the diverse learning needs, being supplied with instructional methods and materials that are matched to their individual needs. There are five guidelines for successful transaction of learning through this type of instruction. (a) clarify all key concepts and generalizations (b) make critical and creative thinking a goal of lesson design (c) engage every student in learning and (d) use assessment as a teaching tool to extend , not only measure but instruction also. (e) provide a balance of tasks between what is asssigned by the teacher and selected by the student.
One limitation of this type of instruction is that some students may feel stigmatized as a result of receiving a seemngly less challenging curriculum .
What type of a teaching method are we speaking about ?
(a) individualised instruction (b) differentiated instruction (c) peer mediated instruction (d) co teaching (e) team teaching
(18) Literature circles in groups of four or six students are also a great way to get the students working in teams.This activity is an example of .................................................
(a) co operative learning (b) student specific learning strategy (c) peer tutoring (d) differentiated instruction (e) co teaching
(19) An ideal schedule for peer tutoring can be ..........

(20) Using lined paper / spell checker / word bank / cloze procedure / co writer / praising for content are all part of possible supports which can be given to children with .........................
(a) dyscalculia (b) aphasia (c) dyspraxia (d) dysgraphia (e) dyslexia

(4) Which one of the following statement is not correct ?
(a).Roughly 85% of children diagnosed with learning difficulties have a primary problem with reading and related language skills
(b).Most reading disabilities are neuro developmental in nature and such problems don't go away, but they can be managed
(c).Most children with reading disabilities can not become proficient readers even after intervention or remediation as they can not learn strategies for success in school.
