Mrs. Petal's 3rd-grade class is having difficulty understanding some of the recent chapter books they have been introduced to. They appear, however, to make very few word identification errors. To help her class, Mrs. Petal should:

a. assess the students to determine if each has developed phonemic awareness; if not, she should begin with a series of lessons on sound matching.
b. do nothing as this is the first grade level in which such books are introduced and the class will get used to them and understand better as time goes on.
c. go over research techniques and how to use reference guides such as dictionaries to help with understanding the words they do not understand.
d. allow the class larger blocks of time to read, and institute programs such as a book club or literature circles.
