Which of the following is a key component of effective reading instruction?

Assessing only at the end of the year
Providing diverse reading materials
Emphasizing only phonics
Limiting reading assignments to fiction

The correct answer is: Providing diverse reading materials

Providing diverse reading materials is a key component of effective reading instruction because it exposes students to various genres, formats, and themes, fostering engagement and a love for reading. This diversity caters to different interests and reading levels, enabling students to connect with texts in meaningful ways. Additionally, it supports the development of critical thinking skills as students encounter various perspectives and contexts. In contrast, assessing only at the end of the year lacks the ongoing feedback necessary for tracking student progress and making timely instructional adjustments. Emphasizing only phonics narrows the focus of reading instruction and neglects other essential components such as comprehension, vocabulary development, and fluency. Limiting reading assignments to fiction excludes valuable non-fiction texts that can enhance knowledge across subject areas and improve critical literacy skills.
