Ms. Trinh is about to begin a unit on sharks in her fifth-grade class. Some of her students have a strong interest in sharks and know a lot about them. Others know very little about sharks. When Ms. Trinh gives a reading assignment about sharks, she should expect that:
a. Students who know a lot about sharks will understand the reading material more readily than their classmates.
b. Students' reading comprehension will depend almost entirely on their word recognition skills; their prior knowledge won't make much of a difference.
c. Students who know a lot about sharks are less likely to monitor their comprehension and so may misunderstand parts of the assigned reading material.
d. Students with little knowledge about sharks may be reluctant to read about an unfamiliar topic, so motivating them to learn during the unit will be a challenge.
