Which of the following strategies helps in the development of a purpose for reading?

  1. Exclusion Brainstorming

  2. Interactive Writing

  3. Silent Reading

  4. Flashcard Drills

The correct answer is: Exclusion Brainstorming

Exclusion Brainstorming is the correct answer because it is a strategy that actively engages students in thinking about what they already know or can predict about a topic before reading. This process helps students activate their prior knowledge and set a purpose for reading, as they start to think about what information they need to gain from the text. On the other hand, Interactive Writing, Silent Reading, and Flashcard Drills do not directly focus on helping students develop a purpose for reading in the same way that Exclusion Brainstorming does.
