Ms. Pearson assigned her students a section to read on ecosystems in their science book. When finished, she tries to lead an exercise where the children must apply what they have learned. However, no one is participating. This makes no sense to Ms. Pearson because no one gave any indication there was an issue with the text. When asked if they understood the passage, most students confess that they did not. What should Ms. Pearson have done differently?
A) She should have read the passage to the children.
B) She should have had students take turns reading the passage out loud.
C) She should have pre-taught vocabulary.
D) She should have taught interesting words.

Pre-teaching vocabulary is a crucial strategy in ensuring students understand the content of a text, especially in subjects like science where terminology can be complex and unfamiliar. By introducing key terms and concepts before reading, Ms. Pearson could have improved comprehension and facilitated a more engaging and productive discussion.
