Big Books are mainly used for:
ASilent test-taking
BDictation practice
CGrammar drill sheets
DShared group reading
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Shared group reading
1. NCERT describes Big Books as large-sized, high-interest books.
2. They have text and illustrations.
3. They are used for shared reading by a group.
**Why not the others:** Silent tests, dictation and grammar drills are not what Big Books are made for.
