B. False
Rationale:
Reading is most effectively taught through explicit, systematic, evidence-based
instruction, especially for foundational skills.
5. A teacher would like to start a new spelling curriculum. She found a free online

Differentiation uses student data to adjust instruction and provide appropriate learning
activities for different readiness levels.
9. A teacher notices that some students struggle with comprehension despite receiving
the same instruction. She assesses whether they need support in phonemic awareness,
phonics, fluency, vocabulary, or comprehension and plans targeted instruction. Which
framework is being used?
Correct Answer:
