Which teaching strategy supports students with differing literacy levels?

Individual testing without support.
Selective reading assignments.
Tailored group reading sessions.
Standardized whole-class assignments.

The correct answer is: Tailored group reading sessions.

Tailored group reading sessions effectively support students with differing literacy levels because they allow for differentiated instruction based on individual needs. In a tailored group setting, students can engage with text at their own literacy level while benefiting from peer interactions. This collaborative approach fosters a supportive environment where students can learn from one another, ask questions, and discuss ideas related to the reading material, enhancing comprehension and engagement. In these sessions, the teacher can match reading materials that suit the varied abilities within the group, providing opportunities for more advanced students to assist those who may struggle. This kind of customization not only boosts confidence among learners with lower literacy skills but also enriches the learning experience for those with higher levels. Tailored group reading ensures all students can participate meaningfully, thereby promoting inclusivity and engagement. In contrast, practices like individual testing without support, selective reading assignments, or standardized whole-class assignments typically do not accommodate the diverse needs of students. These methods may inadvertently leave some students behind or fail to engage them meaningfully with the reading material.
