It was the wrong question...Sorry

Scott is just beginning to learn the names for the letters of the alphabet. Which of the following would be
an example of the teacher scaffolding his learning?
A. The teacher tells Scott, "You need to learn all your letters, and then you'll be ready to read."
B. The teacher says the names of the letters as she writes down words that Scott dictates.
C. The teacher requires Scott to spend 15 minutes a day working with letter flash cards.
D. The teacher doesn't want to push Scott to learn letters before he's ready, so she takes a "hands-off"

my answer is c.

I disagree with C.

I used B and C with my grandkids when they were in their pre-K years. A combination of those two worked really well.

Your answer is correct. Option C, where the teacher requires Scott to spend 15 minutes a day working with letter flash cards, is an example of the teacher scaffolding his learning.

Scaffolding refers to the process in which a teacher provides support, guidance, and assistance to help a student learn a particular concept or skill. In this case, the teacher is utilizing letter flash cards as a tool to help Scott learn the names of the letters of the alphabet. By requiring him to spend dedicated time with the flash cards, the teacher is providing a structured and focused activity to support his learning.

Option A, where the teacher simply tells Scott he needs to learn all his letters, is not an example of scaffolding as it lacks specific guidance or support. Similarly, option B, where the teacher says the names of the letters as she writes down words dictated by Scott, is more a demonstration of the letters rather than scaffolding his learning.

Option D, where the teacher takes a "hands-off" approach and does not push Scott to learn the letters before he's ready, is not an example of scaffolding either. Scaffolding involves providing support and assistance, so a hands-off approach would not be considered scaffolding.

Therefore, option C is the best example of the teacher scaffolding Scott's learning.
