All of the statements about reading below are true EXCEPT:
Select one:
a. When a reader does not know much about the topic, he pays more attention to what the text says.
b. Bottom- up processing proceeds from the smallest unit to bigger ones.
c. Goodman's model is the one used as a framework for whole word approaches.
d. The reader uses strategy of active sampling when he or she anticipates the possible ending of a story.
To determine the correct answer, let's go through each statement and evaluate its truthfulness:
a. When a reader does not know much about the topic, he pays more attention to what the text says.
This statement is generally true. When a reader lacks prior knowledge about a topic, they tend to focus more on the information provided in the text to gain understanding and fill in the gaps in their knowledge.
b. Bottom-up processing proceeds from the smallest unit to bigger ones.
This statement is true. Bottom-up processing is a reading approach that starts with the individual letters or sounds and builds up to form words, phrases, and sentences. It emphasizes the importance of decoding and understanding each element before moving on to the next.
c. Goodman's model is the one used as a framework for whole word approaches.
This statement is false. Kenneth Goodman's model, known as the top-down or interactive model, focuses on the reader's use of background knowledge and context to understand text. Whole word approaches, on the other hand, emphasize recognizing entire words as units of meaning rather than focusing on individual letters or sounds.
d. The reader uses the strategy of active sampling when he or she anticipates the possible ending of a story.
This statement is true. Active sampling is a reader's active engagement with the text, often involving predicting or anticipating what might come next. This strategy can help readers make predictions, maintain interest, and connect with the story.
In summary, the statement that is NOT true is:
c. Goodman's model is the one used as a framework for whole word approaches.
