Delay family contact until a student has a documented literacy problem.

Correct Answer:

Question 3

A first-grade writer spells "because" as "bkuz" in a draft. Which teacher interpretation is most developmentally appropriate?

The student is careless and should not write until spelling is perfect. The spelling shows no useful knowledge about sounds or letters.

The student's home language is interfering with learning. The student should be removed from text discussion until fully fluent in English.
