Question

1. Jane enters a kindergarten class and observes how the teacher interacts with students during class read along sessions. Jane hopes her observations inform common practices used by teachers to increase kindergarten students’ literacy. Jane’s approach is BEST categorized as top-down (i.e., deductive). (2 points)
   1. True
   2. False
   3. Why?

Answer 1

Answer: True

Reason:

Top down instruction method in a class room is the process in which the teacher interacts with the student and motivate them to perfrom or complete the activity such as reading. In this process, the students are taught to read the sentences or passages, and then they are taught to understand the meaning, grammar, etc.

The bottom up instruction method is the opposite of top down where, the concepts such as grammar, story are taught first, then the students are taught to read and get familiarize with the subject.
