Which option best defines Basal Reading?

  1. A random selection of books for reading

  2. Daily diary entries written by students

  3. A grade-leveled series of textbooks produced by an educational publisher

  4. Stories created by students

The correct answer is: A random selection of books for reading

Basal Reading refers to a grade-leveled series of textbooks produced by an educational publisher. These textbooks are carefully designed to introduce and provide practice with reading skills in a systematic way. They often include stories, poems, and nonfiction texts that gradually increase in complexity to help students develop their reading proficiency. This structured approach makes option C the correct choice.
