What is an ineffective instructional strategy for prekindergarten students learning from informational texts?

  1. Having centers to explore characters or settings after reading

  2. Reading informational books aloud regularly

  3. Creating a graphic organizer after reading an informational book

  4. Asking questions relevant to the text while reading

The correct answer is: Having centers to explore characters or settings after reading

Having centers to explore characters or settings after reading is considered an ineffective instructional strategy for prekindergarten students specifically in the context of learning from informational texts. This age group benefits more from hands-on, direct engagement with the content of informational texts rather than focusing on narrative elements like characters or settings, which are more relevant to fictional texts. While centers can be valuable in promoting exploration and play-based learning, they may not directly reinforce the understanding of key concepts and facts typically found in informational books. Prekindergarten students, who are developing their comprehension and cognitive skills, require strategies that lead them to actively engage with the information and concepts presented in the texts. In contrast, regular read-alouds of informational books, creating graphic organizers, and asking text-related questions during reading are all effective strategies. These methods promote comprehension and retention of facts and allow students to connect with the material in a meaningful way, facilitating deeper understanding.
