Three of the following statements are consistent with commonly observed sources of diversity in children's and adolescents' writing. Which statement is false?
 
  a. On average, girls tend to be better writers than boys.
  b. On average, children with higher IQ scores are better writers.
  c. Some children from Asian cultures prefer not to put their thoughts on paper unless they know that their ideas are factually correct.
  d. Children who have significant writing disabilities tend to focus more on clearly communicating their ideas than on using correct spelling and grammar.

Question 2

Many children from low-income homes have considerable exposure to books and other printed matter long before they begin school. Some, however, do not, and so they come to school with few of the basics (knowledge of alphabet letters, familiarity with common storylines, etc.) upon which to build as they learn to read. As these children progress through the school grades, they are most likely to:
 
  a. Catch up to their peers by second grade
  b. Catch up to their peers by fifth grade
  c. Catch up to their peers by fifth grade if their teachers regularly praise them for their progress in reading
  d. Fall further and further behind their peers in reading ability
