Many children from low-income homes have considerable exposure to books and other printed matter long before they begin school. Some, however, do not, and so they come to school with few of the "basics" (knowledge of alphabet letters, familiarity with common storylines, etc.) upon which to build as they learn to read. As these children progress through the school grades, they are most likely to:

a. Catch up to their peers by second grade
b. Catch up to their peers by fifth grade
c. Catch up to their peers by fifth grade if their teachers regularly praise them for their progress in reading
d. Fall further and further behind their peers in reading ability
