During quiet reading time, Sid goes to the bookshelf, grabs a book about spiders, and starts reading aloud. Instead of readingthe printed information about spiders, he starts making up a story about the spiders in the book. This behavior means that Sid
  1. Obviously does not know how to read; therefore, book reading should be discouraged until he knows how to do so.
  2. Understands that there is a meaning to the printed words on the page, although he does not know how to read yet.
  3. Should read a book without words.
  4. Understands how to sound out words.
Explanation
Answer: B- Although Sid does not know how to read, when Sid is pretending to read, he understands that there is a meaning to the printed words on the page. A child should never be discouraged to read a book at this stage. Giving Sid a book without words would teach him that words do not matter.
