Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Possible trends in reading are more independent reading, more technical vocabulary, more complex syntax, increased inferencing, the recognition of different writing conventions, monitoring their own comprehension, and increased reading difficulties in some students. Writing trends may include improved writing mechanics (e.g., holding the pencil more firmly, print and write in cursive), technical features (e.g., punctuation, spacing), maintaining a constant point of view, improved story coherence, taking multiple perspectives, stories with more abstract or imaginary themes, and a preference for specific genres. Mathematical trends may include seriation, conservation, reversibility, memorized rules, the invention of personal strategies that work.
