Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: Scaffolding
Scaffolding provides temporary, structured support that teachers offer to early readers and gradually remove as students become more independent. This step-by-step support helps students build reading skills sequentially and develop stronger reading comprehension.
Why scaffolding fits: It sequences instructional supports (for example, modeling, prompts, guided practice) so learners gain skills one by one until they can perform tasks independently.
Why SQ3R does not fit: SQ3R is a study/reading technique (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) for processing texts, not a general instructional support method that is gradually removed.
Why reading reflection does not fit: Reading reflection is an activity for thinking about reading, not a systematic, teacher-led support strategy that builds skills step by step.
Why passive reading does not fit: Passive reading implies low engagement and lacks the active, guided, and gradually withdrawn support characteristic of scaffolding.
