  that most new basal reading programs:

  c) contain only narrative selections
  d) have eliminated the workbook component

Question 2

  correctly replied that:

  all required skills and strategies
  b) they refer to the state standards often to make sure that they have covered all required
  skills and strategies

  d) state standards contradict basal reading programs
