What is an essential strategy in Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR)?

  1. Silent reading

  2. Note-taking

  3. Grouping students for cooperative learning

  4. Lecture-based teaching

The correct answer is: Silent reading

An essential strategy in Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) is silent reading. This strategy involves students silently reading the material, while also utilizing other strategies such as predicting, clarifying, and summarizing, to enhance their understanding of the text. This differs from note-taking (B) as it focuses on individual understanding rather than group discussions. Grouping students for cooperative learning (C) is also important in CSR, but it is not the essential strategy as it focuses more on group work and collaboration rather than individual comprehension. Lecture-based teaching (D) is not an essential strategy in CSR as it does not involve student-driven learning and collaboration.
