alleryGraded Reading Cards let learners:
AChoose their own level
BCompete in speed reading
CLearn a single prescribed text
DCopy sentences from the board
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Choose their own level
1. Reading Cards have short graded passages, beginning with four-sentence stories.
2. Learners can choose their level of difficulty.
3. They progress at their own pace in silent reading.
4. Speed contests, one prescribed text and copying do not give such choice.
**Why not the others:** Speed contests, a single prescribed text and copying from the board take away the learner's choice of level.
