What should teachers do with young students prior to reading?

  1. Highlight key phrases

  2. Discuss the author's background

  3. Perform a picture walk

  4. Assign a reading task

The correct answer is: Perform a picture walk

Prior to reading with young students, teachers should perform a picture walk. This involves guiding students through the book's illustrations before reading the text. By doing so, students can make predictions about the story, build background knowledge, and generate interest in the text. Picture walks help students understand the context of the story, make connections, and enhance overall comprehension. This pre-reading strategy is particularly beneficial for young students as it engages them visually and sets the stage for understanding the text.
