Hi there!
I believe that the statement is TRUE.
Reading teachers seek to help students become insightful readers that develop a passion for reading a wide variety of texts. Through independent reading, students participate in the selection and reading of material for their independent enjoyment.
<u>Reading instruction must be designed using the standards of the curriculum: the school's objectives and the specific needs of the students. For this reason, it is possible to be evaluated with respect to the reading made.
</u>
In a balanced literacy program, time is taken into account for students to practice the skills and concepts taught during instructional hours, such as guided reading or reading aloud, incorporating independent reading.
