New teacher Nancy Catania tried to follow the instructional schedule suggested in the
teacher's guide of her school's basal reading program. Like many effective teachers, however,
she found that:
a) students need many more opportunities to read and reread books than are provided in the
schedule suggested by most basal reading programs
b) the schedule did not provide sufficient time for round-robin reading activities
c) most basal reading programs lead to a student-centered approach in the classroom
d) most basal reading programs emphasize a constructivist approach to instruction
Question 2
Teachers involve students in many activities as they use language arts textbooks. The
activities associated with language arts textbooks are:
a) always completed online
b) usually completed at home
c) similar to those used with basal reading programs
d) significantly different from those used with basal reading programs
