One principle discussed in Chapter 7 specified that reading specialists should "take into account the effects of a teacher's instructional actions during group learning". If you were to convey the general meaning of that principle to another teacher, you would probably say something like this:

Question

A. One-to one instruction is ideal. However this is not always feasible and, therefore, small group instruction is the norm.This latter can be successful when carefully planned and carefully focused, with the teacher taking care to engage all students equally in the interactions of instruction.
B. When students are grouped for reading by level, they should have regular opportunities to read from material at their frustration level, with the teacher providing strong and immediate support. In these cases, unlike reading at one's instructional level, it is best that teachers simply supply unknown words in order to alleviate frustration.
C. This principle advises that teacher work independently with students who have been placed in frustration level material, doing so while the remainder of the group works through a lesson collaboratively.
D. Time on task is important. During group lessons, reading teachers should urge students to move quickly through lessons in order that peers do not become bored or distracted, thus day dreaming, getting off task, and losing motivation.
