• Being read aloud to by adults
• Interactive conversations with adults
• Listening to a variety of rich oral language

**D) Watching children's television programs**

**Correct Answer: D**

**Rationale:** While children’s television may expose students to some

new words, it is largely passive and offers little opportunity for interactive learning or deep engagement with vocabulary. Research shows active engagement (shared reading, conversation) is much more effective for vocabulary growth.--- ### 2. Which activity would be best to have students complete after reading a narrative?

• Draw a picture of their favorite character
• Complete a Story Framework organizer

students to recall and sequence key elements (setting, characters, events), which reinforces narrative comprehension and text structure awareness. 2 / 3

• "What have we learned so far about the third pig?"
• "What color is the third pig’s house?"
• "Would you rather be the wolf or the pig?"

details, supporting coherent mental model construction and comprehension.--- ### 4. Which of these techniques is not effective when trying to help students build comprehension monitoring?
