Question 2

Ms. Trinh is about to start a unit on sharks. Some of her students have a strong interest in sharks and know a lot about them. Others know very little about sharks. When Ms. Trinh gives a reading assignment about sharks, she should expect that:
 
  a. Students with more background knowledge will understand the reading material more readily than their classmates.
  b. Students' reading comprehension will depend almost entirely on their word decoding skills; their prior knowledge won't make much of a difference.
  c. Students with more background knowledge are less likely to double-check their understanding and so will make more comprehension errors.
  d. Students with less background knowledge may be reluctant to read about an unfamiliar topic; thus, motivating them to learn during the unit will be a challenge.
