c. Team teaching
d. Both alternate 1:1 assistance - - (CORRECT REPLY) - -a.

b. One teach, one assist
c. One teach, one observe
d. Team teaching - - (CORRECT REPLY) - -a.
,In which scenario would it be appropriate to provide instructional support to

teaching?
a. To support readers with different level of fluency and comprehension
b. To match peers with one level between them to read to each other
